Dear Vicky I was just going to email you and you sent your email! We had a wonderful time in Vietnam thanks to all your excellent arrangements. The transfers worked like clockwork and the cars and drivers and tour guide on Thursday were all so good. The Violet was just fabulous and we got the Dragon Suite! We had perfect weather in Halong Bay and we are so glad we did not try to do it in one day and that we were able to spend the night on the boat. The lighting in the sunset and sunrise times was spectacular. We have so many beautiful photos to preserve our memories. We did buy some art too and enjoyed visiting the Humanities Center which is half way to Halong Bay and also again in Hanoi. Next on our list is Cambodia and possibly Ho Chi Minh and we will be contacting you when we decide to plan a trip to those places. Kind regards

Indochina Sails cruise from 13th Aug to 15th Aug 2015
Dear Ms Tra Le, Every staff member was incredibly kind, friendly, and professional. Their attempts to get to know each of us personally in the short amount of time we were there made us feel welcomed and comfortable, and we were sad to say goodbye. The service was unparalleled. The junk itself was by far the most luxurious of any that we observed and we were more than comfortable during our cruise. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip!
Indochina Sails cruise from 13th Aug to 14th Aug 2015
Dear Ms Tra Le, Staff very good and Indochina Sails Premium boat was very impressive. Everything thoroughly well organised and no stress. Plus prices for drinks on boat were reasonable which was good to see.

Indochina Sails cruise from 3rd June to 4th June 2015
Hi Tra Le, Was nervous booking over the internet. Tra Le was extremely polite and helpful and provided me confidence to continue the booking. All information provided was accurate. Tra Le was prompt with replying to emails and punctual at time of meeting at hotel to finalise the booking and payment. The driver was very good and safe driving skills. The cruise personnel Annie and Tommy were amazing. How lucky to have wonderful staff. They made us feel very special and gave all passengers equal attention. They ensured everyone was having a great time. Their humour was excellent. The only disappointment with the trip was disembarking and having to wait over an hour for transport back to Hanoi. Return transport immediately after disembarkation really needs to be considered as a priority.
Halong Violet cruise from 2nd June to 4th June 2015
Dear Ms Tra Le It was a fantastic trip- thanks! We stayed in the Dragon suite for a night as both Dragon and Phoenix were occupied by guests that had arrived the day before. So Tom (Violet Supervisor) gave us Moon on the first night and moved us to Dragon on the second night. Mr Tanh is a good driver and we recommend him highly. Thank you for your service and support which has been consistently good. You will hear from me again. Do not hesitate to send me some good offers when you have them. They can cover Myanmar, Laos & Cambodia, and of course Vietnam. Very best wishes

Dear Tra Le, We had just completed a Viking River Cruise from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and wanted to see Halong Bay before departing the country. The quality of the ship and the people exceeded our expectations. We could not have been more pleased. But Ms. Tra Le made the trip perfect. She was in contract with us before the trip and made everything easy. During the trip she continued to stay in contract with us and even arranged for us to keep the same driver for the trip back to Hanoi. We will recommend the Violet and Ms. Tra Le to all our friends. Thank you for the wonderful experience!!!! And if you ever come to this part of the world just let us know, and we will show you around!!!!

Hanoi – Halong (2,4-7 May 2015, Violet cruise)
Dear Vicky, We are now back to Tokyo. This is to say that we were very happy of our Halong Bay Cruise. We particularly liked the Cat Ba natural park and staying 2 nights on the boat. The staff was friendly, the food good (a bit too much dishes for me, soup and starter and main dish), the boat was comfortable and beautifully decorated. All the van transfers were also fine. I only have to thank you and all the staff for making this trip a wonderful and unforgettable family journey in Vietnam. With my best regards,

Violet Cruise- April 2013
Dear Ms Nguyen , Thank you for bidding farewell to me and my family on our way back to Hanoi. The Ha Long Bay cruise was really a life time experience for us especially when we were treated like VIPs: exclusive shuttle bus service to and from Ha Long Bay as well as Phoenix cabin accommodation on the Violet. The on board cuisine was especially worth appraised as it surpasses any of the dishes we have come across either in Intercontinental Hotel or Ly Club. We should have missed a lot in our short stay and I am sure we will revisit Hanoi in the not too distant future. Meanwhile, if you are by any chance coming to Hong Kong, do inform me and I am happy to be your host and show you around.
Jasmine cruise – April 2013
Dear Hanh, We wanted to thank you again for your assistance in booking the cruise. The Halong Jasmine is excellent and we both thoroughly enjoyed!

That was a nice holiday we all had, and please accept our sincere appreciation to all that you all have done. Kindly keep me in your mailing list and update me with future “products”, as I have heard that new boats may be coming into service, while we all are aiming at returning for more cruises in the future. Best Regards,

Halong Bay Cruise
Hi there Tan! I had a visit from Peter after his holiday. Peter sounded more than happy about the VN trip. He was thrilled that you went out of your way to make his trip very enjoyable. I was sure he would be in good hands. I was just as exciting about VN as Peter was when he told me about his trip. Yes it definitely takes me back to my unforgettable VN experience. It would be lovely to visit Halong bay again. It was definitely the highlight of my VN trip. Though too short. I would like to stay there a few night on the next visit .. on your boat.
