Review summary

I didn't comment on each port because each was wonderful with many new experiences & different cultures than we have experienced before. You also learn about the history & present day life in each area. We did the pre in Ha Long Bay & post in Bangkok & both were excellent. Our tour guide Tony was awesome, intelligent, caring & really gave us quality information about his country. The local guides in Cambodia & Thailand were also excellent. All the local people we met were vey friendly & eager to offer help if we needed it. Everything about this vacation was perfect. I would do this cruise again if I ever can find the time which could be difficult because of my age & tours/cruises backed up by COVID. DO IT if you get the chance.

The service from every person on the ship was awesome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I loved this small ship experience. It was always clean everywhere. The only negative we didn't use our veranda because it was small & the weather was hot & humid. However, the upper deck with infinity pool & bar was the perfect place to hang-out & make friends.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was very comfortable, good size, plenty of storage & always clean.

Ship tip

Be prepared for the heat & humidity. Our guide had dehydration packets which many needed. I brought some with me. This did not detract from the overall pleasure of my trip. Enjoy every minute on this fantastic cruise/land tour.
