This cruise line was particularly suitable for adventure seekers with an array of shore excursions, from kayaking to exploring the national park. My children were keen on cooking classes, and a variety of food in the restaurant. Thank the cruise and the team so much!
While I loved having choices when it came to dining venues and activities, I found that the sheer number of options could be overwhelming at times. It would have been helpful to have a more comprehensive guide or app to help manage everything.
Excursions to Lan Ha Bay were filled with relaxation and adventure. I explored the mysterious Dark & Bright cave and enjoyed kayaking in the Tra Bau area. The food was plentiful and varied in terms of choices. A good option for cruising in Halong Bay in general.
Our family vacation on this cruise ship was filled with options that kept both the kids and adults happy. Particularly, I and my wife were really satisfied with the fine dining and spa treatments. I would rate it 5 stars for its optional and fun-filled activities. Thank the cruise and the team so much!
The cruise had a lot of experience and enjoyment. This cruise truly ensured that there was something for everyone. I really indulged in gourmet meals and a variety of entertainment options. One thing to comment is that I expected more shade on the sundeck but it was a bit hot and sunny all day.
Calypso cruises offered an incredible array of options, and it exceeded all my expectations. From dining choices that catered to every dietary need to an impressive lineup of onboard activities, I was spoiled for choice. The staff onboard spoke fluent English and were willing to help us at any time. Definitely recommend this cruise to my friends!
The fleet comprises a lot of cruise options and suits many budgets. I felt satisfied with the well-appointed cabin and its large balcony. All staff members on the cruise made me feel spoilt. I really enjoyed the care and professionalism of the crew and captain onboard. Lan Ha Bay was also beautiful but a bit lack of activities.
