Super staff. Made very welcome. They couldn’t do enough for us.
Food on board was excellent. Varied and top quality.
We chose an overnight cruise and our only regret was this we didn’t book 2 nights.
Would definitely repeat and recommend this trip with Paradise.

We did a 2 night 3 day cruise with Paradise Cruises.

We did a 2 night 3 day cruise with Paradise Cruises. I would recommend doing the 2 night rather than the 1 night as the drive from Hanoi is 4 hours, I think an 8 hour round trip for 20 hours on a boat would not be ideal. The Paradise Luxury junk was excellent. We had an upper room with a balcony, which was small but functional (not much room on the boat for huge rooms). The food on the boat was excellent, and the staff were very good and helpful. My bag got misplaced, and they worked hard to find it, although I was panicking for a while. The sundeck on the top was nice with plenty of sunbeds. On the first day we went to surprise cave, the main surprise was that it was rammed full of other people so was a slow queue through the cave and that it was pretty much ruined by too many people. Unless you are desperate to see the cave this would be a good time on the sundeck (I don't think they go here every day). On the next stop we were at Titov island. Some people went up to the observatory and said it was interesting, we kayaked to the beach, which was a nice trip. Overnight all of the junks park up together. The evening meal was nice, but after that the boat has little life and they put a film on. We could hear some of the other junks partying. If you want a party boat probably not for you, but for a quiet time this is ideal. On the second day we were moved onto the day boat, which for fine for the time we spent on it, and it had a bar and sundeck. On Cat Ba island we cycled to a village and went for a walk in the jungle. After going back to the day boat we went to an area of islands were we could kayak through some caves into otherwise inaccessible lagoons, these were spectacular. Next day we had a quick rowing boat visit and then off back to port. Overall very good cruise, and well worth the visit.
