Exceptional cruise

Top-notch organization, on time, very nice activities (cooking class, squid fishing, kayaking, cave visit, tai chi). The staff was very friendly. The cabins were beautifully decorated, and the meals (buffet, dinner, next morning's breakfast) were of high quality. We were celebrating a birthday in our family a few days after this cruise: a cake and a bouquet of flowers were offered to us. Quality cruise.

A luxurious experience

Spectacular cruise, awesome. Spacious, super luxurious cabins, just like the whole cruise. A luxurious experience. With pool, the spectacularly decorated rooms, the truth that far exceeded my expectations.
Highly recommended.

An enjoyable short cruise

We enjoyed our cruise. The ship was well maintained, with lots of seating on deck, even though the ship was full. There were a couple of excursions both well organised and interesting. The food was good, tasty cocktails and a fun cooking demonstration in the evening before dinner. Most of the crew were friendly and helpful, the only slight negative was the cruise director seemed a bit grumpy and wanted everyone to sit in certain seats on arrival with no explanation of why and treated everyone as if they were on a Butlins holiday.

Fabulous experience

We had a really lovely experience on the Indochine Grand Cruise. I don’t usually leave reviews, but this one was definitely worth the effort. A big thank you to Liam, whose customer service was honestly exceptional. He gave us a clear run-through of the day and all the activities, so we knew exactly what to expect and everything felt very smooth and well organised. The cruise operator was also very accommodating with our food preferences, which we really appreciated. The ship itself was beautiful – tastefully decorated with a stunning interior – and the food was delicious. The whole crew were warm, friendly and made us feel very welcome. A special mention to Ha and Mai as well, who came to our hotel afterwards to give us a thank-you gift - such a personal and thoughtful gesture, and it really stood out. Overall, a great experience and one we’d happily recommend!
