We booked the 3-day 2-night itinerary on Mila Grand and it exceeded all expectations! Exploring Dark & Bright Cave by kayaking and cycling through the quiet Viet Hai Village surrounded by mountains were absolute highlights. The 2026 vessel feels brand new with gorgeous Indochine aesthetics. Our kids loved the outdoor Jacuzzi while my wife and I enjoyed afternoon drinks on our private balcony. Exceptional service from start to finish!

The Senior Suite on the 2nd floor was extremely spacious (45 m²) with a stunning private balcony and full ocean-view bathtub. Cruising through the quiet, uncrowded routes of Lan Ha Bay felt so serene. The fusion meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this new superyacht!

Tàu Mila Grand mới đóng năm 2026 nên nội thất gỗ Indochine cực kỳ sang trọng và thơm mùi mới. Cả hai vợ chồng mình rất thích không gian phòng Executive Suite tầng 3 và góc phòng Piano/Billiards buổi tối. Nhân viên phục vụ chu đáo, lịch trình 2 ngày 1 đêm rất vừa vặn.
Giá đồ uống hơi cao chút so với kỳ vọng.

J'ai passé 2 jours merveilleux à bord de Mila Grand Cruise. La séance de Tai Chi au lever du soleil sur le sundeck et la visite de la grotte Trung Trang à Cat Ba étaient magiques. Le personnel est d'une gentillesse incroyable. Une vraie perle en baie de Lan Ha!

Visiting Ba Trai Dao beach for kayaking and swimming on Day 2 was pure magic—the water was crystal clear! The day boat transfer was smooth and the lunch served in the village was fantastic. Back on the main cruise, we spent the evening playing billiards and squid fishing on the deck. Thanks to Dr. Son & VTH Travel team for seamless arrangements!

We upgraded to the President Suite (135 m²) for our wedding anniversary, and it was worth every single penny! Two private balconies, an in-room Jacuzzi, and sweeping views of Lan Ha Bay. The crew even surprised us with a candlelit dinner setup. Mila Grand sets a new benchmark for luxury cruising.

From the private lounge check-in at Tuan Chau Marina to the tender transfer, everything was flawless. The chef prepared customized vegetarian options for my family without any hassle. Exploring Dark & Bright cave on a bamboo boat rowed by locals was an unforgettable cultural moment.

Die Suite war sehr stilvoll eingerichtet mit Echtholzboden und herrlichem Balkon. Das Tai Chi am Morgen und die Fahrt zur Trung-Trang-Höhle auf der Insel Cat Ba haben uns besonders gut gefallen. Ein rundum gelungenes Erlebnis!
