We went with 4 friends to the cruise for 3 days and 2 nights, I recommend staying 2 nights, the second day was very beautiful we went kayaking and there were a lot less tourists to the places we visited. Unfortunately we could not do the little village because of the typhoon but that was no problem at al we went visiting another cave, very beautiful. The views are amazing. The boat is great, spacious rooms and bed, clean. Very good food, one of our friends is vegetarian and received a complete adapted menu for her. A special thanks to our butler Khai, who was really amazing !!

There are a lot of cruises to chose from, and all are probably pretty similar. But if you're struggling to make up your mind, just choose this one. The boat is amazing (especially the rooms), there are so many activities and random bits of entertainment to enjoy, the staff are fantastic (especially Alanis), the spa is great, the food is delicious and caters to vegetarians. They arranged pick up and drop off from Hanoi which took away any of the stress of travelling. All in all 10/10

We are a mixed family with young children and eldery however they did not fail to amaze every single of us. We had a wonderful time on-board. The food was nicely prepared and presented. The staffs were detailed and friendly. We had a small problem with our room however it got sorted straight away. Oanh, our butler, has been so kind and attentive. She, together with the kitchen staffs, catered the meals for my nut-allergy son to support his condition which we cannot be more grateful for! Not to mention that they threw a surprised birthday celebration for my mum without us knowing, she loved it! Thank you so much to everyone on board during our stay for such a wonderful experience.

They were very responsive to questions I had when booking and also afterwards. I also booked their transportation bus from Hanoi which is about $40 USD RT per person which was prompt and comfortable. They drop you off at the Paradise suites hotel and you check in and wait until a cart brings you over to the ship. I had booked Paradise Sails but 1 day before our trip, they said the ship was getting repairs and I would be upgraded to Paradise Peak which is a smaller 8 cabin ship. The ship was only half occupied so we all got lots of attention. JL was the general captain who did a great job. Net was our assigned butler, she was very nice but we sometimes had trouble communicating. The kayaking does cost an extra $50 USD. The food is quite good. The first day lunch was a giant seafood platter of crab, geo duck, shrimp, mantis prawn, snapper, clams and oysters. The food is fresh though the same menu is offered for breakfast and dinner. Drinks are not included as part of the price. You get 2 glass bottles of water person per day. On the 2nd day, you leave your boat and go aboard the Paradise Explorer. I know some reviews said they didn’t like leaving their own boat and room for the day but it seems like they didn’t allow bigger boats in the area for our day trips. I enjoyed being on the Explorer for the day. By the 2nd night, we only had 4 people on board so JL offered to bring us to the Paradise Elegance for some live music which was a nice touch. The spring roll demo is a nice activity to do at night before dinner. Our room was the premium suite. The boat was built in 2012 and shows signs of its age. Our sliding door was very difficult to close and the fridge didn’t work (though they offered to keep anything we wanted in their fridge). The bathroom is quite large and has a jacuzzi though we did not use it. On the way back, you get dropped off at the Paradise Suites hotel and get a light lunch before you board a luxury van back to Hanoi. Overall we enjoyed our trip a lot and recommend Paradise Cruises.
