Mid-range♥ Our favouriteOrchid Trendy Cruise (5★)

A cabin with a balcony, full board: you watch the karst peaks drift past from your own door, morning and evening. The right balance between onboard comfort and budget for two days on the water.

LuxuryParadise Elegance

An upmarket cruise: you spend the night on board, among the karst peaks rather than at the quay. For the stops in the bay, kayaking between the islets and the Surprise Cave, with the comfort of a large boat.

Indicative prices for two people, checked when written: the price on the day depends on the season and your dates, so check it on the booking link. A deliberately short selection: a few checked places per budget and per stop, not a directory. The "more hotels" link opens the full Booking search for the same town, on the same dates. Some links are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
