@@jackyvietnamtravel3747 I have a cruise booked for October with PANDAW. Includes the transfer from Hanoi & a couple of days floating around the bay but then the boat follows the Red River upriver past Hanoi & towards China .. 10 days & a max of 32 passengers. I have not been on this particular cruise but have done two other river cruises with Pandaw in Vietnam & Myanmar & they were excellent. Not the cheapest trip I have ever done but well worth the money. Some cruises do not have a single supplement so that is a bonus. They also do river trips in India & I expect that is a fabulous way to see India.
Thank you so much for the comprehensive tips! U really answered and packed lots of useful info into this video, unlike many others who produce long videos that are content lite. This is really satisfying to watch.
Really enjoy your videos. And you guys are one of the best 'travel channels' here. Down to earth and enjoyable, unlike some. My daughter is currently on her way to Vietnam... doing a 2 night cruise on Halong Bay before her tour kicks off. The cruise is her splurge ticket... lol... I was never interested in Vietnam until she started showing me videos here on You Tube. I think now Vietnam may be on my list of places to go.
Great video!! We are traveling to Vietnam next month. We were not planing to go to Hanoi but your video changed my mind!! Tks and again, great videos!!
Hello! I’m so glad you liked it! Have an amazing time in Vietnam 😀🙌🏻 Hanoi is fantastic, definitely one of my favourite spots we visited. Be sure to find some little cafes overlooking busy streets and soak it all in. I have some great guides on the Little Grey Box website too that might help you find great things to see, do and eat: littlegreybox.net/2017/01/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-visiting-hanoi/
Thanks for your very informative video. Anyone planning the Halong Bay cruise should watch this.👍👍Now I can stop searching which is overwhelming, confusing time consuming!😕
We can all see this is a really sad and tough time for you. However, stay strong. Now is the time for you to focus on yourself. This is your time, so just focus your time on you. Acceptance is the key here. You need to accept that you're not going to be happy or feel like yourself for a while and just keep getting up and moving forward. As you said, you have all the tools you need to get through this. The only thing you can count on in life is change, one minute, your happy, then that happiness takes a turn but there is no perminence in either so just sit back and wait for the change. I know this as I had to put my dog to sleep on Friday, and I've never felt so empty or lost 😞 But i also know that I need to stand back up. Now it's your turn to stand back up. You got this 💪🙌. Hope everything starts making more sense to you soon 🙏 x
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comment. Our new video is out tonight and it's about a Safari we just did in South Africa - hope you can watch it. Have a great day and thanks again. Phoebe x
From another Aussie love your videos Phoebe. Practical, fun, engaging. You have made up.my mind that we visit Halong. We prefer going off the grid or going out of season unless places are worth the hype and this appears to be one of them
Thank you so much!! We really enjoyed it - definitely loads of tourists (might be different if you can sneak in a visit while there are fewer visitors) but we really enjoyed the experience! 😊 My dad talked us into it - said it was a once in a lifetime thing and if we were ever there we should make the effort to do it. We did and we were glad we did!
Thanks for the video maam😀. Getting into Halong Bay now has just got better, thanks to the newly open Highway via Haiphong. It only takes 2 hours now for travelling.
Hi. I am going to hanoi and plan to do Halong bay tour. Is it ok to take my luggages to the tour? Dont want to waste money on extra night at a hotel which i am not going to stay. Thank you for your input
Hello, thanks so much for watching! We took our suitcases/luggage with us on our Halong Bay trip. If you're still unsure, it's a good idea to contact your tour company directly for answers :) Have a great trip - Phoebe x
What is the price for Paradise Elegance Cruise for 3 days and 2 nights per person ? If you were to travel alone, then is the price is for one person or do they still charge for two person ?
Thank you so much! I’m so happy the video was helpful. I don’t have kids but I’ve seen the locals in Vietnam interact with children and my experience is they adore them 😍 hope you all have the best time over there! Phoebe x
Hi We are thinking of taking a cruise in Halong Bay and your tips are really useful especially on dietary requirements since my wife is vegetarian. Thank you .
Hello! 😊 oh I’m so glad to hear the video was useful - hope you and your wife have an amazing time. Thank you so much for watching - have a great day 🙌🏻 Phoebe x
Hi your review was so helpful :) i really wanted to know how you booked them through agoda? (The link you shared) or through website? The agoda link shows 2day 1night package including meal but does it include visiting places and Transfer ? It would be helpful if you reply :)
Hello! My understanding is that transfer and visiting places is automatically included in every trip. I'm not aware of anyone, even the super budget cruises, who finds their own way to Halong Bay. If you're unsure, you should contact the cruise company directly to confirm as I can only share our experiences. Hope that helps a little bit. Have an amazing time! Phoebe x
I'll be visiting halong bay on february next year but im concerned about the weather when I get there. Is it gonna be worth the visit on feb, someone help 😕
Currently in Hanoi and looking to go Ha Long Bay in a couple days. I want to experience the cruise but also mainland to climb Poem Mountian, what’s the best way of booking this?
Hello! We visited Halong Bay a little before we started making proper travel videos/vlogs (just a great excuse to go back again!!) But you can catch some of it in a video here: ruclips.net/video/WkjmWErLJgA/видео.html and we also have some great written guides on the website that may be helpful too: littlegreybox.net/category/destinations/asia/southeast-asia/vietnam/ Thanks for watching! Have a great day :) Phoebe x
Which cabin did you get for the paradise elegance? And what’s your recommendations? Captain Terrance view vs elegance cabin balcony suite vs executive balcony cabin?
Hello! We stayed in an Executive Balcony Suite so I can really only vouch for those - we loved our room! I did a full write-up about the whole thing on our website. It has far more insight and photos than I can share in a comment here 😊 Here’s the link for you: littlegreybox.net/2017/11/27/you-need-to-know-about-this-luxury-halong-bay-cruise/

thank you so much! I'm sure you will LOVE it! We were there on a media trip so we didn't book it but everything was inclusive for us and it was really enjoyable. If your budget allows, why not go all-in and make the most :D Phoebe x
I literally had to watch this video 2 times coz at 1st i didn't even noticed whats it about i just cant take of my eyes off you cuz u look damn beautiful although ur video was so informative 🤗☺
We're planning a trip to Vietnam now, including some nights on a Ha Long Bay cruise. You recommend the "Paradise Elegance", however that graphic is over a picture of their more up-market boat "Paradise Peak". The actual cruise company, if we're on the same page, is actually called "Paradise Cruises". Can you confirm this was the company and which boat you took, as they have three.
That’s hard to answer because there are cruises available at all price points! From super budget to luxury and everything in between - whatever your budget, you should be able to find a cruise to match
I love you 😍"little gray box" and also I will write all your videos from the beginning 👉67👈. I support you very much 💙because you really provide more than wonderful content 😍 Greetings to you, you are the best role model in the whole world.😘
Thank you sooooo much!! It really means a lot :D Have a great weekend! Our new video comes out tonight - it's all about two amazing days we spent in Cape Town. Hope you can watch it :) Phoebe x
Good video but would advice you on one thing : When you visit any place, any country.. While travelling, you don't watch fuckin Netflix, you enjoy and feel that place. Music is good option though. You experience the journey. & it's not always the destination that's awesome, sometimes journeys too. For me, it's most of the times.
hahaha but I like to watch a show at the end of the day if there are no English tv channels - it's how I relax :D Thanks so much for watching, have a great day!! Phoebe xx
I went with a budget package and I mean budget! Bus picked me up over an hour late and we were crammed in like sardines. Other than that, it was very good but it was only a day trip where we leave in the morning and return in the evening.
