Asked by Barbara · 7 months ago
Hello! Do all the cabins have ocean views? Do any cabins have balconies? Thank you for your help.
1 answer
A
Answered by Lilly · 7 months ago
Dear Barbara, All cabins on the Victory Cruise feature ocean views. However, they currently do not have any rooms with private balconies. If you are looking for a cruise with balconies, I highly recommend checking out their sister cruise Victory Star Cruise (https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/victory-star-cruise/2-day-1-night.html). Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Lilly

Dear Renate, Regarding kayaking on the 2-night cruise, I would like to inform you that the activity is included for all guests on both days. The second kayaking session is typically held at a different location than Luon Cave, but it remains part of the itinerary. For the luggage allowance, we do not have a specific restriction on luggage. You are welcome to bring your bags on board, and they can be stored in your cabin. Best regards, Tracy
