My family and I had a wonderful trip to Vietnam and HLB Team was a part of that. Our cabin was fully equipped and had an excellent bathtub view. We met and were assisted by friendly and happy crew members. Mai and Alex provided exceptional service. They were not only knowledgeable but also helpful throughout the trip. Valued for money for sure!
