Cool cocktails and friendly smiles await you at the reception area of Paradise Cruise in Tuan Chau Island. It must be mentioned that Paradise Cruise is the only cruise company that has its own wharf for gathering tourist together before the cruise.

At exactly 12.30pm, the Paradise Cruise sets off to discover Halong bay bringing many new surprises. Quite different from previous hurried trips lasting for 4 – 5 hours, this time we spent a cozy happy night together in a “Floating 5 Star boutique hotel”. Do such precious moments enhance living quality in the middle if busy and chaotic life? Is anything more enjoyable than worming your way along pearls and gems of the Holy Dragon bay, watching imposing honey sunlight, children stood on the deck, enjoying the seascape or sunbathed on the deck, reading or listening to music, while their parents enjoyed tasting a glass of red wine on the top floor bar. Just like its name depicts – Paradise Cruises, is a paradise on the sea that offers different ways to contemplate and take in the breathtaking magnificent seascape surroundings.

Thanks to Lucas – a young French guy who is our cruise manager, communication between host and guest is warm and intimate. As a translator speaking English, French and Spanish, Lucas has inspired foreign tourists to try spring – roll. After partaking in the sumptuous dinner quest can wash down their food with sips of traditional rice wine served by Lucas. Everyone was excited about the Vietnamese Everyone was excited about the Vietnamese wine – tasting custom “One…Two…Three…Zoh!”

Unexpectedly, I felt an absolutely relaxing feeling come over the entire tourist on Paradise Cruise 6999. As we were screaming out aloud “zoh!” like a local person, we were all one together, enjoying the moment forgetting who we were, laughed like children in the peaceful air of adventurous you could try going squid early in the morning on the deck, and enjoy being pampered by the always smiling staff.

24 hours traveling on the sea passed by too quickly. There were only some tens of minutes left before we reached back to the wharf. I wished in my mind that the other quest would never forget the charming heaving sails dotted amongst the thousands of islands and up high, and waves keep on rolling gently, timelessly as they have for a trillion years in the Holy Dragon bay. That is what provides a special and unforgettable memory for tourists who come to the paradise that is Ha Long Bay
