This is the best choice for families and groups with large cabins and abundant amenities. Meanwhile, adventurous travelers can satisfy their wanderlust with exotic voyages to a lot of pristine beaches, unknown lagoon, fishing villages, and islands on Lan Ha Bay.”
Editor Reviews
Pros
The ship is stunning and luxurious. Cabins are surprisingly gigantic and offer wonderful sea views directly from your bed. The trip to Cat Ba Island showcases amazing sceneries. The restaurant serves great food in quality and quantity. Decent services are offered by great staff.
Cons
The cost of red wine bottles are exorbitant ($150/ 2 bottles) and other drink offerings are not really special. There are limited food options in the lunch buffet. Cooking demonstration is too short and most activities are lack of guidance, especially kayaking. The itinerary feels too rushed and some attractions are spoiled by rubbishes. There aren’t a playground and many facilities for children.
Bottom Line
Orchid Cruise is unquestionably one of the most desirable cruise ships for upper-class travelers with high-quality amenities and interesting activities.
