Editor Reviews
Pros
The cruise offers comfortable rooms and facilities. It has a lovely sundeck for the panoramic bay views. All meals and bar service are excellent.
Cons
The halfway transfer stop for buying souvenirs is overpriced and unnecessary. The rooms next to the engine smell diesel very strongly at night. No drinks are included in lunch and dinner.
Bottom Line
There is no better way to expect a traditional cruising experience and immerse in the pure beauty of Bai Tu Long Bay than from Swan cruise.
