The two Dragon Pearl junks are among the few boats authorized to sail and anchor in Bai Tu Long Bay, located north of Halong Bay.
This three-day, two-night cruise offers a relaxed pace, allowing more time to venture off the beaten path, uncover the secrets of Halong and Bai Tu Long bays, visit fishing villages, explore by kayak, and enjoy unforgettable culinary experiences.
The itinerary provides the highest level of luxury and comfort, ensuring you make the most of the stunning Halong Bay. Unlike other cruises, there is no change of boat during the trip and no use of day boats for excursions. Everything happens on the same boat with the same crew, and the group stays together throughout the experience — truly a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
We offer this exceptional cruise with two nights on board, accompanied by an English-speaking guide who will share insights into the local life of the bay’s inhabitants and lead all activities such as kayaking, cycling, and cooking classes.
