Review Body: More than expectation! All of us are so exciting and suprised. Cruise is new, perfect food and customer service. Large room wirh balcony, bathtub, impressive decor I am so lucky to make choice to pay a little more to change from an other old cruise to Cycad cruise for my whole group. Thank you

Review Body: The cruise was really nice. We were in Bai Long Bay, so there were fewer tourists. The boat was new, and the quality was definitely better than the others we'd seen. The food and activities were also very good.

Review Body: A fantastic experience: a 2-day cruise with an overnight stay and plenty of activities, which you can, of course, opt out of. Our highlight: the freestanding bathtub overlooking Bai to Long Bay.
