North Vietnam, Vietnam, Halong Bay

Junk Boat on the Breathtaking Bay

Cruise Vietnam’s breathtaking Halong Bay aboard a converted traditional Junk Boat.

Rising from calm emerald waters, Halong Bay is one of Vietnam’s most iconic natural landscapes, a place where scale and serenity sit side by side. Thousands of limestone karsts and hidden coves create a setting that feels both dramatic and quietly timeless. Experiencing it by overnight cruise allows the bay to reveal its softer rhythms, once the day boats have gone and the light begins to change.

The best way to see and appreciate this absolutely beautiful natural place is by taking an overnight cruise. But with hundreds of boats plying these waters, choosing the right one matters. We only recommend a select few, ones that take quieter, less touristy routes or offer a special onboard experience.

The boats that we have selected have superb facilities, excellent and knowledgeable guides and personalised service. They are also fully safety-regulated and maintained to international standards. We won’t use a boat that has not passed stringent safety tests.

What you’ll do

  • Discover the dramatic limestone karst scenery of Halong Bay on an overnight cruise, the best way to experience this iconic natural landscape.
  • Sail on a carefully chosen boat that follows quieter routes or offers a distinctive onboard experience, away from the busiest tourist areas.
  • Enjoy personalised service, knowledgeable guides, and well-appointed facilities, all maintained to strict international safety standards.
