Excellent service and beautiful landscape

My friends and I have experienced outstanding service from Cat Ba Island Cruises 3 days 2 nights; manager Doan and his colleagues served us, they are all very friendly and professional. We ate together, visited Bright Dark Cave, played late into the night, and went kayaking together at Frog Pond. The meals on the cruise are very flavorful and filling and are served wholeheartedly. We are delighted ..More
