Indochina Junk Cruise
The Ha Long Indochina Junk Cruise
offers an unforgettable ambiance of relaxed elegance.
History Overview
The
newest deluxe junk of the fleet - the Indochina Sail
- just start in early April 2007. With well-appointed
design and decor, the junk will together with its twin
sister bring guests excellent experience cruising the
World Heritage site.
Discover the splendors of Halong Bay aboard the the
Indochina Sail a wooden junk that combines
classic beauty with modern comfort. Measuring 40 meters
in length, this newly built, custom-designed yacht
features three decks that house an elegant restaurant,
two bars, a small library, and a massage room-plus ten
luxurious sleeping cabins. With so much space,
passengers can truly unwind and enjoy the bay's
magnificent scenery.
While all those who visit Halong Bay are charmed by the
archipelago's beauty, few visitors are aware that the
three-thousand islands that dot this bay are home to
many rare plants, including species found nowhere else
in the world. We chose our boat's name- the Indochina
Sail - because, like the plant it was named after, our
junk is perfectly suited to this environment. With its
golden sails, polished woodwork and refined, Asian
decor, the Indochina Sail offers an unforgettable
ambiance of relaxed elegance. Join us, and see Halong
Bay in style.

Sail Bar, Gift Shop and Library are all located
on the main deck. On the top deck passengers will find
the Sunset Bar and a spacious lounge area, perfect for
our morning Tai Chi classes, weekend BBQs and sunset
cocktails.
Guests are welcome to make use of our binoculars,
snorkeling equipment, and top-of-the-line Canadian made
Seaward kayaks.
Accommodation
While
the view is undoubtedly the best feature of each of our
ten guest cabins, guests will also appreciate the rooms
tasteful decor and furnishings. To complement the bay's
natural beauty we have outfitted the cabins in natural
materials: wood floors covered with sedge mats; walls
covered with woven bamboo panels; and ceilings decorated
with bamboo panels hand-painted with a ginger motif. The
standing shower, meanwhile, features mosaic tiles in
Orchid flower patterns.

Ha Long Bay on Indochina Junk Cruise(3Days/2nights)
Detail Itinerary |
|
Scenic Halong Bay, with its emerald seas, rests
beautifully over the Red River Delta. This
region, "the Bay of the Descending Dragon", is
dotted with more than 3,000 mountainous islands,
each with its own unique landscape. The islands
are famous for their dolomite and limestone rock
formations, many of which have been given names.
Natural grottos, fjords, land tunnels and inlets
are also common. During the Vietnam War,
numerous large ships sailed through the open
waters of the bay and now an excursion by junk,
cruises or fishing boat gives you the memorable
experience of sailing past silent, sea-girt
caves and around the spectacular formations,
tasting fresh and authentic Vietnamese cuisines,
breathing cool breezing from the Gulf of Tonkin
and enjoying a romantic night with your sweet
hearts under the starry sky. That's all we can
say how fantastic Halong is and how amazing our
junk cruise you will feel because it's simply
the best that we can offer you.
