They explain that the total cost for two people was 697 dollars, noting that while they are typically budget travelers, they chose this as a special treat. The summary covers various logistical aspects, including the cost of limousine transfers from Hanoi and the fact that alcohol is not included in the cruise price. Throughout the trip, the couple participates in several included excursions such as kayaking, biking through a remote village, and hiking through caves. They describe the food quality positively, highlighting the buffet lunches and the five course sit down dinners that are included in the ticket price.
