Orchid Premium Cruise offers breathtaking Lan Ha Bay

The booking agent (Auasia Travel, namely Mia Nguyen) and the Orchid Premium Cruise company both did an excellent job of organizing the trip. The cruise had wonderful cuisine, accommodation, and activities. My friends and I paid $190 per person for the cruise, plus an extra $40 per person for round-trip shuttle service to and from the cruise terminal. I recommend booking via Auasia Travel ..More

Highly recommend 5 stars

I had a fantastic experience with 2-Day Orchid Premium Cruise in Lan Ha Bay. The kayaking was enjoyable, the visit to the Pearl Farm was intriguing, and the incredible cave tour left me speechless. The great cuisine on board was a pleasant surprise, and our fantastic tour guide, Mr. Lam, brought a personal touch to the entire voyage. Five stars for an incredible adventure!

Unforgettable Lan Ha Bay excursion

We did the Orchid Premium Cruise, and it was an excellent experience. Mia from Auasia was really helpful throughout, from the initial request to select a suitable cruise until the end of the trip to organize transportation to our accommodation outside Hanoi old quarter. A wonderful experience.
