"Aqua Elegance 2N1D. Well spent"

Aqua Elegance Cruise

Amazing experience, the whole staff were amazing. Our tour guide Daniel was very supportive, informative, very kind and very sweet. The staff on board where all well spoken, kind and helped us anywhere we needed to. My parents are old and they always helped them and for vegetarian food they went out of their way to bring special meals. The food on board was great and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Aqua elegance team! Thanks so much!

"A good option to relax to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city"

Aqua Elegance Cruise

Perfect getaway from the city. There is nothing better than waking up, throwing open the curtains and seeing the limestone karsts from your bed. If you can, try the morning Tai Chi on the sundeck. It’s so grounding and peaceful.

"Would definitely recommend"

Aqua Elegance Cruise

Great value for a cruise in the luxury segment. The hardware is brand new and the amenities are top notch. Night squid fishing and kayaking were super fun things to do. The only minor downside is that the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty out on the water but that’s to be expected. Overall a great experience 9/10.

"Awesome Halong Bay cruise with Aqua Elegance"

Aqua Elegance is a photo op in every single corner! The bathtub with an ocean view, the deck jacuzzi, and the stylish dining room all make great photographs. If you’re after high-end aesthetics and ‘Instagrammable’ spots – this is the cruise to book.

"Unforgettable journey in Halong Bay"

Aqua Elegance Cruise

Very very beautiful tour of Ha Long Bay. The boat is very smooth and fast, super punctual and the staff are very caring. The cruise manager helped us a lot, explained the tours and guided us very well on the tours out of the boat. To sum up, I really loved the experience!

"Be sure to book the three-day tour"

Aqua Elegance Cruise

Those who go to Halong Bay all must book the 3-day package. Only with the three-day tour you can get between the small islands. Otherwise, you stay tin a bay where all ships anchor overnight. Great trip with Tom! He was super friendly and helpful, I highly recommended!
