    This Halong Bay Luxury Cruise was made possible by: signaturehalongcruise.com/en/
    If you’ve never been to Halong Bay, you need to add taking a luxury cruise through Halong Bay to your bucket list! Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for a good reason. It is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen! It’s filled with giant lime stone karsts that jut out of the water in every direction for miles.
    The best way to experience the bay is by a luxury cruise. There are tons of cruise ship operators offering cruises through Halong Bay. The cruises range from cheap backpack boats to five start luxury cruise ships. Since visiting Halong Bay is most likely a once in a lifetime experience, we decided to splurge on a 5 star luxury cruise to ensure that we had the best experience possible!
    We booked our cruise with Signature Cruise and we were elated with our experience. Seriously, we don’t have a bad thing to say about Signature Cruises, and that should mean a lot coming from me because when I splurge on an experience I am very critical. Also, the staff treated us like royalty! They made our experience even better.
    Our luxurious cruise through Halong Bay started with an amazing lunch served while we were cruising to a floating fishing village. After arriving at the floating village we were rowed around the village in a row boat by one of the women who lived in the floating village. After our row boat ride was completed, we visited a pearl farm to learn how pearls are made. To be completely honest, this sounded kind of lame to me when I read it on the itinerary, but it was actually really interesting!
    After leaving the pearl farm, we were taken back to the cruise ship. After an hour or so of relaxing and taking in the beautiful views of Halong Bay, we had a cooking class where we learned to make fresh spring rolls. After the cooking class we enjoyed happy hour with more beautiful views. After happy hour, a delicious five course dinner was served aboard the boat. After dinner I had the opportunity to try my hand at squid fishing. I got really lucky and managed to catch 10!

    Thanks so much! I owned my own hair salon and retired 7 years ago to care for my ailing father. He passed two years ago leaving me a large trust which I intended to use traveling. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and am unable to visit these fabulous places. Door closes....window opens, thanks to you lovely young people showing me the sites!

    This was a phenomenal video. I have so many things floating through my mind.
    That ship was exquisite. Your room was so fancy! That entire ship looked like a posh and proper Southern plantation parlor, with it's gleaming hard wood floors, rolled back chaises, french doors and paneled walls. Exquisite.
    And Nate, you are absolutely right about that stunning scenery. That floating fishing village reminded me of the brightly colored fishing sheds along the water in Newfoundland, while the rocks quickly reminded me that you are still in Asia.
    I absolutely LOVED this cruise.

  • @kels0jade6
    @kels0jade6 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love that the boat seemed to make you feel so welcome and like family. It wasn't like a huge cruise ship. So like when Nate caught the squid and they brought it to the room and told Kara "Nate catch alot of squid" its like..if that happened on a big cruise ship..I doubt they'd even bring you the squid but they also wouldn't say Nate's name like that like they knew him personally lol. And just seemed personable when Nate was fishing for the squid too. I just think that seemed really cool. 💜

    Halong bay cruise was the best time of my life, kayaking on healing was the best experience ever! One of my all time favourite things ever! I did my trip at a similar time on a cruise called Dragon cruise I think! LOVED VIETNNAM! I cannot believe how identical our trips were, I also went to the fishing village and pearl farm and caught a squid which they let me cook within 30 seconds of coming out of the water and ate it in the kitchen! Surreal

  • @dannybrennan6953
    @dannybrennan6953 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens.
      Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

    This is definitely the way to go! We did a day tour and it wasn't enough. We will just have to plan another trip back to Halong Bay!

    Here's hoping the weather clears up so you can stand on your balcony without getting wet. I've seen pictures of Ha Long Bay, but they don't do it justice. This video does. Kudos!

    Wow. Awesome video guys. It brings back lots of memories for me. I spent 2 months in Vietnam back in 2009 (before I started making travel videos unfortunately), and thoroughly loved it. Halong Bay was particularly beautiful, although the boat we took was nowhere near as fancy as yours. I cannot believe how nice your room was. I might have to go back again soon, this time armed with cameras. Thanks for sharing.

    We just did a two day one night Halong Bay cruise a few days ago -- It's REALLY crowded out there on the excursions (the UNESCO cave was as crowded as Bourbon St. on Mardi Gras..) But the islands were astoundingly beautiful to sail through, especially at sunset and in the early morning!

    I've never heard about Halong Bay cruise in Vietnam until now when I saw your video. It's appears like you've both had a lot of fun enjoying the whole experience. I will definitely try it when I go to Vietnam. Thanks a lot for sharing ..
