Our Paradise Cruise during our honeymoon was wonderful. In particular, Jade and Marion were very friendly and accommodating, responding to any questions we had about our room, meals and tours. They made our stay on the cruise all the more comfortable. Every excursion we did was enjoyable.

A wonderful experience on the Paradise Peak. Excellent accommodation and food. We booked a premium cabin which had its own private balcony, which was really good. Our butler Hayden was so friendly and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed for our time on the boat and for the excursions. He remembered our food and drink choices and anticipated our needs before we asked.

Would highly recommend. If you can spare the time do the 3 days, 2 nights. We got to see so much more of the bay with fewer boats.

The back massages were excellent.

Such an unforgettable memory in Elegance 1. When i started to prepare for going to Ha Long Bay by Elegance 1, i admit that i dont have too much praise because i have gone there before. Mr Adonis such a helpful people as always talk and share everything with me. When i have fever, he brought medicine and water for me even that time is midnight. I want to send my thanksgiving from my bottom of my heart to him. Hope him always have life full of joys, love and successes. I will miss him so much, exactly!!!

We took a 2-night Luxury cruise as part of a Virgin Holidays Tour. The whole experience was fantastic. The scenery is amazing making every moment worthwhile. The food was fantastic at every meal, with great quality and good portions. The activities were interesting especially the cave tour and the island tour where we were able to climb to the top of the hill to get some great views. These were typically quite short giving time to enjoy the boat. As expected the cabin was small leaving little room for suitcases, but was very comfortable with effective aircon and a good sized shower.
We took out the drinks package which I would only recommend if you enjoy wine with lunch and dinner, otherwise a pay-as-you-go approach might be better.
The staff were all very good, especially our waitress ‘Chloe’.
The only negative was that when it came time to checkout none of their card machines would work until we got to shore, resulting in a big queue of frustrated passengers.
