So great trip in the bay

Everything about the trip on the Victoria Star Cruises was fantastic, from start to finish. The food, beverages, activities, and service were all excellent. We had a good time in the kayak, and the cave tour was enjoyable. Our room was amazing, and the view from the bath was spectacular. I would really suggest this tour and Auasia Travel to anyone who is looking for a cruise tour in Halong bay.

Beautiful itinerary and gorgeous cruise

The trip on Lan Ha and Halong bay Victoria Star Cruises was an unforgettable experience. The cruise staff was great, helpful, and nice. Our room was really nice and clean too. One of the main reasons I chose this Victoria Star Cruises for my Halong Bay trip was the 5-star food and facilities. The food on board was delicious and well-presented. Thanks Auasia Travel for supporting me to book this ..More
