Halong Bay … on a 5 star cruise!

Fun fact, there are 600+ cruise boats on Halong bay! They get to take 1 of 4 routes through Halong Bay and Lan Ha bay.

We decided we would splurge to see the world famous Halong bay via cruise boat with Sena cruises. It was an experience with lots of food and random activities like a cooking class and tai chi as well as kayaking, squid fishing, karaoke and a small boat tour through some caves. After having spent the last few weeks backpacking, a room on a fancy boat with fancy people and fancy dining really made us feel like royalty! We had our own little outdoor seating area from our room and a very nice bathroom.

It was a nice experience but probably one that both of us thought would be a once in a lifetime activity that we needed to do! We prefer our simple life of adventure!Read more
