My wife and I decided to spend our honeymoon traveling to Vietnam. We took a cruise trip with La Pandora cruise. The staff was really courteous and friendly. The food was nicely decorated and delicious. Sam, our tour guide, was very attentive, and always smiled to make us happy and comfortable. He also provided us a lot of useful information about Halong Bay and its legend. Kayaking and visiting the caves were cool experiences for us. We also performed live music with our tour guide Sam and other passengers. Highly recommend!

United States"La Pandora cruise trip was the best part of our holiday in Vietnam."
To be honest to say that La Pandora was absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a high-quality service cruise ship with great food, interesting activities, and nice cabins, La Pandora is recommended to you. We joined the sailing trip with a funny and knowledgeable, and great in English tour guide named Ben. Ben was always willing to help us with every requirement during the trip.

Spain"Perfect La Pandora and perfect guide! Thanks Hoan for the awesome work"
I joined a trip for 2 days 1 night on La Pandora cruise with Hoan, our great tour guide. We had an amazing trip with La Pandora in Halong Bay. the staff working on the boat did great jobs and was so nice. All activities like kayaking, visiting the caves, cooking class, and swimming was interesting under the guide of an enthusiastic tour guide, Hoan. He shared with us his knowledge about Halong Bay and Vietnam. I recommend choosing La Pandora and the tour guide Hoan for your experience in Halong Bay. this was our most memorable excursion during our stay in Vietnam.
Federico Russo
Italy"The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging to all passengers on the cruise."
We had an amazing 2-day 1-night trip. It was good value for money. The services on the cruise were great and professional. The chef served us good food and the cruise manager provided us fun and streamlined activities. The cruise ship was in good condition of high quality. Due to the corona virus, there were not many people on the cruise, only half of capacity. So we had a much more private space. That made a better experience on our trip. However, I needed to pay an extra cost for alcohol.
Kenneth
NewZealand"La Pandora was a great ship of its nice beauty and its incredible services."
This is the good feedback for our tour guide, Sam. He was our tour guide on our cruise trip to Halong Bay with the La Pandora cruise. He was very knowledgeable about the bay area and also its legend and history. He also took care of our specific requirements.A lot of activities to join such as kayaking, swimming, boat rowing. The cruise facilities were so good and I thought it was rated as 4-star. One special thing about La Pandora Cruise to me was Sam and his team. They were so attentive to prepare special things for our honeymoon anniversary. A big thumb up for Sam and the cruise team. Thank you.

Australia"Such a great experience! We would recommend all to join La Pandora Cruise with Sam."
My husband and I visited Vietnam together and decided to spend time joining an overnight cruise. So we got the tour with La Pandora Cruise and met Sam. He had a rich knowledge of Vietnam’s history and culture. He was very courteous, generous, and helpful. For all questions we asked, he explained everything very clearly. We enjoyed all activities on the cruise and the way the staff welcomed and served us. Such a great experience! We would like to recommend all travelers to join La Pandora Cruise with Sam.

China"Halong Bay tour with Sam. He motivated us and explained everything very clearly and happily."
We did La Pandora tour guided by Sam. Extremely 10 points for La Pandora. Super 5-star services and kind & attentive staff. They took care of us so well and responded to us at any time. The food was tasty, dedicated, and gourmet. The cabin was cleaned up each day, very spacious and nice.
Sam was the greatest tour guide I had known. He organized the tour and led a group of nearly 20 people so well. Great journeys with La Pandora.

Malaysia"5-Star Experience with La Pandora Cruise, thanks to halongbaycruisedeal"
At first, I had a big hesitation to book a cruise because there were too many cruises with different prices. But I was so happy that I chose La Pandora Cruise. Amazing food, super attentive staff, and interesting activities were what you would get if you joined with La Pandora. We changed the boat about 4 times during the trip, from the speedboat, and the tender to the big boat. We also got to Cat Ba Islands for a great experience. We did the itinerary of 3 days 2 nights so we could enjoy most of the activities organized by La Pandora: kayaking, swimming, sampan boat rowing, cooking class, cycling, wine tasting… couldn’t ask for more. However, the wi-fi was not available or very weak signal. Just could go to the restaurant to get the internet connection.
Lena Meyer
Germany"Phoebe was the best. Many thanks for her great guide and humor"
La Pandora was an excellent cruise. We chose La Pandora for a family cruise trip. There were 2 adults and 4 teenagers. And we all loved everything of La Pandora. The activities were very interesting: kayaking, swimming, diving, night squid fishing, exploring the caves, cooking class, and enjoying handmade dishes. Too many interesting things to join. The cabins we stayed in were spacious enough for my family. From the private balcony, we could enjoy our private relaxing time and the stunning views of Halong Bay. We loved the experience to do amazing Tai Chi exercises in the morning and under the fresh of the dawn. I wanted to say thanks to Phoebe for her enthusiasm to create our great trip. We loved you!
Daphne Khoo
Singapore"La Pandora Cruise – the best halong bay cruise we found"
At first, the Halong Bay cruise trip was not in our plan. But we booked the cruise tour when we were in Hanoi because we were said that Halong was a must-visit place. So we booked the La Pandora cruise for 2. The food, cabin, cruise ship, and activities were all on the top of quality and truly worth the money. Ben, our tour guide made the trip unique and memorable. He always paid his attention to all parts of the itinerary and all services of the cruise to make sure that we could enjoy the cruise much. We were all interested in the information he gave us. Recommend La Pandora for sure.
Nicolas
France"Trip with La Pandora. Love that the dishes were presented so clearly and excellently"
The boat was nice and luxurious. The dishes were presented so clearly and excellently. The staff, especially Sam was so polite and helpful. The cabins of La Pandora were large and nice. Highly recommend!
Orborne
Canada"Ha Long Bay one night with tour guide Ben"
After careful consideration, we decided to go with La Pandora Cruise to discover Halong Bay, and we had not been disappointed. The cruise itself was so clean and new and followed a quiet route. We stayed in a nice room with a private balcony. We enjoyed great views from our room. The food on the cruise was more delicious than our expectations. Our tour guide, Ben always created a comfortable and happy atmosphere for all passengers on the cruise. All activities were included in the price that we had paid, so the extra cost for any activities. We just needed to pay money for our drinks and massage services. The only thing I had concern about was that we didn’t have wi-fi connection. But it could be understood because we were among the sea. We still could use the internet in the dining room and in particular areas. By the way, La Pandora Cruise was a good choice for an overnight trip.
Anselm
NewZealand"We had awesome overnight Cruise with La Pandora Cruise"
It could be said that La Pandora was the perfect choice for those who visited Halong Bay for the first time like us. Our tour guide, Phoebe was so nice, friendly, and very knowledgeable to give us so many information about the tour. The crews were nice and accommodating. We loved the food, the crews, and everything belonging to La Pandora. Especially, the menu featured delicious and healthy dishes. No word to say but perfect!
Arlo
Australia"Great tour! On top of our recommendation to anyone."
We took an overnight Halong Bay cruise with La Pandora Cruise, and the cruise trip was so perfect. It was smoothy from the pick-up in Hanoi until the drop-off at our hotel on the next day. La Pandora was a new and fresh cruise with lovely cabins, which offered large space and a private balcony. We could even see the stunning views of the bay while we were lying on the bed. Our tour guide on that day was Sam, an excellent tour guide with a sense of humor and rich knowledge. He gave us information about the schedule of the cruise and the legend of Halong Bay as well. Overall, the trip with La Pandora Cruise was so nice to me. On top of our recommendation to anyone.
Azure
United Kingdom"Excellent cruise experience! We enjoyed a lot with the cruise"
This was the first time our family took an overnight trip on the cruise. And it was worth values of money and time. We really loved Phoebe, our tour guide on the cruise, and other crews because of their friendliness and hospitability. Impressed with our amazing cabin. And the activities were so interesting and at a suitable length for each. Enjoyed La Pandora Cruise!
Cleo
United States"We took an incredible boat to Halong Bay and it made me so surprised about this primitive bay"
I felt like that I was in the heaven of peace among the limestone cliffs rising from the sea. The cruise glided slowly in the bay, so no worry about seasick. We had a beautiful and luxury suite with the views of Halong Bay. The bed was so big and comfortable. All were offered for me as if I was a queen. Really loved this cruise.
The food was served punctually as scheduled and all dishes were very great and luxury. I really loved Vietnamese food and Asian food. We also experienced to cook spring rolls during cooking class. This was the first made-by-me dishes in Vietnam. And sure, I would make it for my family at home.
The best thing on the cruise tour was our tour guide girl, Pheoby. Phoeby was a one of my friends with fluent English, a sense of humor, friendliness, and helpfulness. Everything was so perfect!
Thank you, La Pandora cruise for a special tour for us! I have been so excited with the cruise trip so far.
