Orchid Cruises

This luxury vessel is a mix of Asian-Vietnamese design, further influenced by French-colonial touches. Ten suites are situated across two decks, with décor inspired by the different blossom seasons. Floor-to-ceiling doors lead to private balconies, allowing light to fill the interiors.

Step aboard this beautiful wooden junk boat and explore both Bai Tu Long Bay and Ha Long Bay in comfort and style.

The boat features 15 cabins with plush beds and large windows from which to admire the beautiful karst landscape – some also have private balconies.

Enjoy traditional Vietnamese cuisine cooked using fresh, local produce then relax with a drink on the sundeck as the sun sinks behind the sparkling waters. Guests will also enjoy a 50-minute spa treatment each day.

This richly-detailed vessel is named after and styled on the original Red Dragon Junk which once sailed the rivers and seas of the Far East. Head out into the bay for a memorable cruise and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Make yourself at home in one of the five deluxe cabins, or enjoy the fresh air on your face out on one of the two decks. The junk’s woodwork and detailing has been carefully handcrafted by Vietnamese artisans and recalls the character and grandeur of the vessel’s historic namesake. Larger that the other junks in the fleet, it’s the ideal way to view the fishing villages and lagoons of Bai Tu Long Bay.

Take a table in the intimate restaurant and allow yourself to be treated like royalty by the attentive and welcoming staff. The junk can accommodate groups of up to 11 people for cruises.

 

One of the newest vessels to take to the sparkling waters of Halong Bay, the Paradise Elegance is a beautiful boat that offers the ultimate in comfort and style.

Facilities are spread over five decks, making this one of the largest boats in the bay. There are 31 cabins with private balconies from which to admire the imposing limestone rock formations, and separate dressing rooms. Decor is simple and sophisticated with crisp white linen and dark wood panelling.

There is a dining room and piano lounge as well as a spacious sun deck where guests can relax and enjoy a cocktail while gliding through the waters. There are scheduled visits to caves, islands and floating villages and also the opportunity to kayak, swim or fish for squid. There are also plenty of activities on-board, including cooking classes and wine tasting, or you can choose to indulge in a massage treatment or relax with a book in the reading room.
