A bit over-priced, especially because the drinks are not included in any meal (they tell u in advance, but i think the water should be included)

The food was really good and they gave u numerous meals. Bedroom is amazing.

The cruise was full of activities. So we were never bored. Dan as cruise manager was very nice and interactive. We visited caves, an island for swimming, had tai chi and some sunset party. We are vegetarian, and we had informed them. So they made special arrangements for us for food.

Check-In, reaching the ship, rushed activities and less time to relax.

The restaurant team, waiters, bar staff, and kitchen crew were all friendly, attentive, and truly did their best to deliver good service within their area. The location of the ship, especially during sunrise and sunset, was beautiful. The room itself was spacious and nicely designed – and we did enjoy the kayaking despite the environmental issues.

I also booked transfers. With the company to and from the hotels I was staying at. These were not handled as well as the cruise. My main concern was with the transfer after the cruise, where we waited nearly an hour before the transfer showed up (after the scheduled arrival time. Then, after an hour or so. - we stopped at a tourist shopping center. This was purely designed for us to spend more money. We were shunted off the bus for half an hour. The vast majority of the passengers were very surprised and annoyed. I expect this when travelling on cheap tours around Asia. However, it was totally unexpected on a transfer between a cruise finishing and the hotel that we were staying at. I would have booked a private transfer if this was known from the start. Over 5 hours from the time the boat docked to arriving at our hotel, rather than 2.5 hours is ridiculous.

The actual cruise was excellent. The staff, the food and the facilities were all very, very good. Unfortunately, many other companies are providing / completing the same tour. Therefore, whenever you get off the boat, you're in lines and it's very crowded. Whilst this is not something the cruise company can really control, it did, however, distract from the overall experience. I was surprised that when the trip booked included all the food, that there was no water provided during meals. And no tea or coffee with breakfast. Each of these needed to be purchased at additional cost. Whilst I would expect and happily pay for alcohol, soft drinks and any special coffees etc., I would have thought that water and basic tea or coffee with breakfast would be provided.

Our cruise director Hieu (Andy) was really lovely and very attentive to our needs, as we’re all the crew. The cabins are well presented and the beds very comfortable. Air conditioner works very well. The food is 5 star and presented so beautifully. There was way more food than we could possibly eat. The quality of the food was incredible and so very tasty. The drinks menu was comprehensive and Nghia and Antony mix a great cocktail and Gin & Tonic! Our trips to visit fishing villages, caves and to swim on a private sandy beach were just the perfect way to explore this amazing area of Vietnam. Having the whole ship to ourselves was such a pleasure and made the whole experience even better.

Our cruise director Andy oversaw every last detail ,he organised off boat tours looking at caves , cooking classes and tia chi in on the top deck in the morning.

Excellent hospitality by Manager Dan and team. Amazing ambience and great effort at making vegetarian food available.. other activities which included Vietnamese fashion show and bamboo dance and singing made it more interesting. Keeping us all involved during our stay was great.

Had an amazing trip aboard the Amanda Legends cruise. The boat has just 5 cabins which provides a more homely, cozy feeling for those seeking a more personal experience. Andy, our cruise manager was instrumental in ensuring our trip was a memorable one. He spoke fluently in English and was attentive to our every needs.

My family and I have visited the bay 3 times, and it never disappoints me. Especially with our guide Dan, the best guide, he is attentive to everything, always taking care of all the details, he is fantastic, he helps us with everything, he has the patience to explain things as many times as necessary, especially when your level of English is low like mine. It's incredible.

The stunning natural beauty of the bay, with its emerald waters and towering limestone islands, was breathtaking. The cruise ship was well-maintained, with comfortable cabins and excellent amenities. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that all our needs were met. We enjoyed delicious meals featuring fresh seafood and local cuisine. The itinerary was well-planned, offering a perfect mix of relaxation and exciting activities like kayaking and exploring caves.
