Syrena cruise staff were all very helpful & very friendly. The Syrena van that picked us up from our hotel in Hanoi was big & comfy, (plenty of room for luggage) with free wifi & bottled water which were very handy for the almost 4 hours trip to Halong bay. The Syrena staff helped us carry our luggage onto the boat, we were very well looked after. We had a double room with balcony for added privacy. We had our designated dining table in the dining room with little flags representing the country were the guests were from. There's plenty of good food. On the first day, we visited places like the Surprise Cave, really surprising as it is huge, the views from the outside decks were excellent. Then visited the Ti Top island, climbing up the top is all worth it, for another magnificent views of Halong bay! Had fun & good exercise at the same time! Then dinner time, more good food on the boat with food demonstration & actual guests participation in Vietnamese spring roll making. 2nd day, taichi on the deck, early breakfast then kayaking & cruising on a sampan boat along Luon tunnel caves. Then brunch before check out. A wonderful experience indeed. Thumbs up & best wishes to Syrena Cruise.
