Stunning boat, food and staff. Highly recommend the 2 night, 3 day cruise as we got away from the crowds. The kayaking through caves was a real highlight. Bike riding to a small village in the national park was also pretty special

Loved this cruise. Ship was beautiful, wood shone throughout. Room was very comfortable. A great balcony off our room. Staff were fantastic, especially helpful and friendly. The food on board was just delicious and the presentation was amazing. I took pictures of the presentation. The tours were great. Everyday was an adventure. We were only on the ship two nights and would have loved more time. We would definitely recommend The Au Co Cruise line to all our friends and family.
