Editor Reviews
Pros
The food is great, well-prepared and the chefs handle guests’ allergy very well. Staff are friendly, accommodating, and speak fluent English.
Cons
The cruise, especially the rooms are a little bit run down. WIFI is limited. The program is stressful, there is less time to relax on the boat. Halong Bay is full of tourists and lack of exclusive experience.
Bottom Line
Pelican cruise offers sumptuous food and impeccable services at an affordable price.
