Overview

3-Day Cruise in Lan Ha Bay aboard a Traditional Private Junk

The Romance junk is a traditional wooden boat sailing around Cat Ba Island in the heart of Lan Ha Bay. Boarding and disembarkation take place at the small Béo Pier, located in the south of Cat Ba Island.

The junk features two air-conditioned cabins, each with a private bathroom (shower and toilet). It also offers an upper deck with a shaded dining area, where you can enjoy your meals, as well as deck chairs to relax and admire the magical scenery of Halong Bay.

This junk is perfect for couples seeking romance, small families, or friends wishing to share special moments together.
With a capacity of 4 adults and 2 young children, the Romance junk provides an intimate and exclusive experience, far from the tourist crowds.

Whether for a honeymoon, wedding anniversary, or family getaway, this boat offers an unforgettable setting for peacefully cruising through one of the most beautiful bays in the world.

Around 12:30 PM, you will board our traditional boat, the Romance junk. 
The junk will first pass through Hang Vem fishing village in Lan Ha Bay. Sailing with the wind is possible depending on weather conditions.

This cruise is designed for relaxation, swimming, and enjoying the sun on deserted beaches (weather permitting).

FAQ

The Moonlight, Romance, and Quatre Saisons junks are small boats and do not have a full-time guide on board.

You can hire a English-speaking guide to accompany you on the boat. The guide will travel with you from Hanoi.

For all other junks, there is an English-speaking guide on board who will facilitate all activities during the cruise.

Everything is included except:

  • Drinks (other than bottled or carafe water in your cabin)
  • Personal expenses
  • Tips for the crew

Yes, tipping is customary in Vietnam and depends on your level of satisfaction.

If you have a private guide, the expected tip is usually higher.

Not at all. Today, all cruise operators adapt to guests’ dietary preferences.

Just let us know in advance.

By default, transport is shared.

If you choose a cruise in Lan Ha Bay, you will take a Daiichi bus to Beo Pier, then a ferry or speedboat to Cat Ba Island.

For Halong Bay or Bai Tu Long Bay cruises, transportation is provided by the cruise company’s bus.

If you prefer, you can book a private car (7 or 16 seats).

Yes, it’s possible to go to Tam Coc (Ninh Binh) after a cruise in Lan Ha Bay, Halong Bay, or Bai Tu Long Bay.

This is usually arranged with Daiichi transport.

Note: from Cat Ba Island, the journey is quite long – allow more than 5 hours by road.

Customer Reviews

Arthur – Four Season Cruise Tour

“The agency took great care of us, answering all our questions and showing real flexibility. We went on a cruise in Lan Ha Bay aboard the Quatre Saisons junk. The boat was comfortable and clean, the food was delicious, and the scenery absolutely stunning. We didn’t come across many other boats along our route, which made the experience even more special. The activities were well organized and done in small groups, which we really appreciated.”

Gael – Northern Vietnam tour

“Exceptional service and magnificent organized tours ! We’re Swiss and took advantage of Parfum d’Automne’s offers to visit Cat Ba, Lan Ha Bay, next to Halong Bay, and the Pu Luong region in the northwest mountains of Vietnam. It was fantastic! We met a lot of great locals, not least thanks to the guides and tours organized by the agency.”
