Come along on our amazing week of cruising the iconic natural wonder of the world, Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, on a 3-day/2-night cruise aboard Renea Classic. Join use as we give you an idea of what a 10 cabin ship is like to live on with a fabulous crew assisting with all your needs. This was the second of our THREE cruises through Ha Long's different bays, full of caves, kayaking and fishing villages. Subscribe so you see all 3 cruises and our guide on How to Choose the Right Ha Long Bay Cruise for yourself, as well as a special video on celebrating there! It was the perfect bucket-list destination for our Second Honeymoon. Our cruise was 3 weeks after Typhoon Yagi hit the area. We wondered if we could or should even go. Thankfully, we did, and we want to show you how beautiful this 7th natural wonder of the world is and how incredibly resilient and wonderful the people of Vietnam are. We show the typhoon (hurricane) damage and clean-up efforts and discuss ethical tourism on our other channel ​⁠ @TasteLifeWithUs -- you can view that video here: https://youtu.be/tuzhbVViSwc Here's our #affiliatelink to book this cruise directly: Renea Cruise: (We did 2 night--currently this is showing the 1 night cruise) https://tidd.ly/3YfWmoL (booking.com) Our travel agent with Best Price Travhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563906508609el (Vietnam--based) was Mia Nguyen: WhatsApp/phone #: +84 79 473 6197 or email sale9@bestpricetravel.com Our Website: https://www.tastelifewithus.com And Cruise Specific Content: https://www.tastelifewithus.com/cruise-through-retirement ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠If you enjoy our videos and would like to say thanks, you can buy us a coffee (or a glass of wine) at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tastelifewithus ⁠ #ethicaltourism #ethicaltravel #halongbaytravel #halongbaycruise #halongbayvietnam #reneacruiseshalong #travelvlog #travellifestyle #worldnomads #retirementtravel #nomadvlog #fulltimetravel #slowtravel #tastelifewithus #Dailytaste
