My Husband and I just returned from a 2-day, 1-night cruise as part of our honeymoon. Every aspect of the experience was amazing! I booked through the Paloma cruise at UTO Travel and  Anthony  was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was extremely responsive to our enquiries and flexible about arranging a time for pre-payment. Our guide, Sy was very funny, knowledgeable, and approachable. Kim and the Crew were so friendly and welcoming and they fulfilled our every request.

As the boat is only 2 months old and still relatively unknown, there were only 5 rooms occupied on the 24 room boat. This meant that the staff to passenger ratio was 2 to 1! Amazing! I had booked the Paloma Suite originally but when we met with Anthony, he told us that he had upgraded us to the Family suite. It was INCREDIBLE! The room was situated on the top level at the front of the boat and had a large private sun deck (with 2 very comfortable loungers). The room was large, and in addition to the balcony we also had two large windows that opened. The shower was amazing - jets from all sides, hot water and great pressure.

Although we didn't board any other boats, it's clear from the outside that the Paloma is the most aesthetically pleasing junk that was out there (this includes Indochina, Jasmine  and Red Dragon - other cruises we had looked into). When the sails went up, it was magical!

The itinerary was great - a 7 course lunch upon boarding, a visit to a floating village (with the opportunity to kayak or be rowed by a local), cooking class with delicious spring rolls, cuddle fishing at night and then visiting the surprising cave the next day.

Our expectations had already been exceeded when, after dinner, Kim (the customer service manager) gathered all of the guests and crew together, announced our honeymoon and presented me with a beautiful bouquet of 2 dozen roses and a deliciously moist and elaborately decorated cake which we shared with everyone! When we got back to our room, our bed was decorated with rose petals spelling out "Happy Honeymoon". It was absolutely amazing!

This was most certainly the highlight of our trip to Vietnam and I would recommend this trip to anyone,without any hesitation. On our trip we had 3 couples and a family of 4 (with two teenage kids) and everyone loved it. Our only regret was that we hadn't booked longer!!
