Overview

The Prince junk was designed after the traditional fishing boats of Halong Bay, but on a slightly smaller scale, with only four cabins.

Thoughtfully crafted with great sophistication and meticulous attention to detail, the Prince offers guests an unforgettable cruising experience. It features two decks, with both indoor and outdoor dining areas, and traditionally decorated cabins with windows opening onto the sea, where you can relax and take in the spectacular scenery. The warm hospitality of the crew makes the journey even more enjoyable.

From the moment you step on board — settling into your cabin or unwinding on the sunny deck — you are surrounded by elegant teak and oak woodwork, carefully crafted by skilled artisans.

The Prince junk is the perfect choice for families, couples, or small groups seeking an intimate and authentic cruise. It beautifully combines traditional charm, modern comfort, and breathtaking landscapes, ensuring a truly memorable stay in the heart of Halong Bay. Whether you wish to explore hidden caves, enjoy water activities, or simply relax while admiring the karst formations, the Prince provides the ideal setting for a unique and unforgettable experience.

Please note: due to its high demand, it is recommended to book at least six months in advance.
