@@ketanc01089 Thank you so much bro! Means a lot you took the time to comment 🙌🏽 It’s a grind but I enjoy it and I’ve learnt loads so gonna keep going! We’ll get there 💪🏽
I just shared this video w a bunch of family and friends again today lol, a lot of our group go to Vietnam but don’t usually do cruises, bc they usually visit fam there, but we couldn’t believe how cheap it was when you revealed the price at the end! Lol you should get a code fr them bc I think in the next 2 years a lot of us are now talking about using this company and cruise all due to your video lol we can’t go this year bc our we/and fam and friends are usually planned out a year in advance lol but we’re putting Vietnam and this cruise down for our 2026 travel calendar 😊 that gym and kids area was so nice! And the room was really great! We actually watched this a few times lol we show it to our guests on the big tv when we gave visitors lol we always end up talking about travel and this videos been now shown to a lot of our visitors lol 😂 my husband said we already left a comment on this but I couldn’t remember so sorry if this is a second comment on this one lol … 😝 😊
Hi! Ah that is so kind of you - yep it was definitely good value for money, something that is true across a lot of Asia, compared to the prices in the US and UK! Haha, I'm happy simply making content that I hope others will enjoy - it's all good fun and part of the journey to become a RUclipsr! Really nice to hear that you shared my video with others - makes the hours of editing completely worth it!
I have no idea - I tried scouring the internet to find out, but it remains a mystery. One thing that for certain though is that it is an incredible ship!
Hi, I think there is a room service menu from memory! I'd recommend packing some snacks for sure as there is a fridge in the room you can store things. I don't think there is a microwave for guests to use
Hi, so I believe the Essence Grand has rebranded as 'Grand Pioneers', its the same company though. The link to book is: grandpioneerscruisehalong.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqWzBhAqEiwAQmtgTxuE64bKUR9Uh4Qw56ZUX4Xf4EO2RHf9MliOBd2Z0eahXnLqmEF9yhoC1-QQAvD_BwE I used the Whatsapp link to speak to somebody direct
I booked direct, speaking with the bookings team via whatsapp first (grandpioneerscruisehalong.com/). They will be able to give you the price of 1 night stay, but I would think it's basically half of what I paid
@@gopalchatur2303 Yes you just need to let them know and they will prepare you special meals. My wife is vegetarian! Check out my food review video where I cover some of the veg options: ruclips.net/video/NZP5Tt9B_U4/видео.htmlsi=FDLBtGXfbu7D1BLV

I feel great when an American expresses her eagerness to go to Vietnam. Thanks so much!
Grt job bro
@@gopalchatur2303 thanks so much! 🙌🏽
Do you have a complete equipment list - cameras, gimbals, drone, post software, etc?
We are thinking of booking this ship. Loving the videos. Did you take on your large suitcases or have to travel with a small bag? Thank you
Hey! Thanks so much! We took all of our luggage (i.e. big suitcases) which the staff were happy transporting. Hope that helps!
It’s now called grand pioneer and you can book on its website and cheaper than other online platforms
@ yep i agree with this comment 👍🏽
We were in an executive suite on the third deck which is larger and more luxurious.
Everything was five stars plus.
Amazing! It’s such an incredible experience isn’t it!
Which month of the year you did this trip please? I am planning on end of February for my trip and I am worried it’s going to be too cold.
I went in March and it wasn't too cold at all! As you can see I was mostly in a Tshirt!
where was this DROP DEAD GORGEOUS vessel built?
I have no idea - I tried scouring the internet to find out, but it remains a mystery. One thing that for certain though is that it is an incredible ship!
Designed and built by Vietnamese's company Ha Long Shipyard (SBIC) @reference: ruclips.net/video/Pz6FCbj8xVU/видео.html
@@VuNguyen-xc7bh Thank you so much!

Do you board the main ship directly from the port? Or does it take you to the main ship from a smaller boat at port?
Hi, as I mentioned in the video, you get a smaller boat to the main ship from the port
Is there late night food options available (besides the chips) if you get hungry after dinner? And do you know if there’s a microwave on the ship?
Hi, I think there is a room service menu from memory! I'd recommend packing some snacks for sure as there is a fridge in the room you can store things. I don't think there is a microwave for guests to use
I noticed you went to titop just to transfer onto the smaller boat. Does the cruise allow you to explore titop before transferring?
Hi! There was maybe 5/10 minutes to take a few pictures but it was literally just a quick stop off to get onto the other boat 👍
Can you share the link where you booked directly through Grand Essence.
Hi, so I believe the Essence Grand has rebranded as 'Grand Pioneers', its the same company though. The link to book is: grandpioneerscruisehalong.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjqWzBhAqEiwAQmtgTxuE64bKUR9Uh4Qw56ZUX4Xf4EO2RHf9MliOBd2Z0eahXnLqmEF9yhoC1-QQAvD_BwE
I used the Whatsapp link to speak to somebody direct
How was the wifi on board?
From memory, I don't think it was too bad!
May I ask what agency you booked this cruise?
@@titithai7947 Hi I booked direct with the cruise company (Essence Grand - now known as Grand Pioneers)
what is the cost of 2day 1 night and can you share trustworthy link for booking?
I booked direct, speaking with the bookings team via whatsapp first (grandpioneerscruisehalong.com/). They will be able to give you the price of 1 night stay, but I would think it's basically half of what I paid
@@ManpsOnTheMap Thank you so much
@@ManpsOnTheMaphow much did you pay sir ? And which month did you visit ?
@@yaminimande Hi! If you go to the end of the video all pricing is discussed there 👍🏽 I went in March
Would you mind sharing how much you paid per pax?
29:54 onwards in the video shows the pricing
Is the food buffet type?
Hi! So breakfast and lunch are buffet style. Dinner is a set menu so like 5-6 courses!
Seriously ,pure veg food available?? Choices are thr ??
@@gopalchatur2303 Yes you just need to let them know and they will prepare you special meals. My wife is vegetarian! Check out my food review video where I cover some of the veg options:
