Halong Bay Luxury Boat Charters
We charter a handful of boats out of the hundreds on Halong that offer the absolute highest quality for private Halong Bay cruises or semi-private cruises (shared cruise). These wooden cruisers (often called "junks") are not the old junks of decades past, nor sleek fiberglass yachts on the nearby Gulf of Thailand. However, they are well-maintained, elegant, with a superb service. In addition to the crew, depending on arrangements, you may be accompanied by an experienced guide from our Hanoi office to ensure your cruise is perfect and to provide escort by kayak.
Newer boats are launched each season, often replacing some of the charter boats below. It's best to avoid the larger cruise boats, such as the three-dozen cabin Emeraude, which constructed entirely of wood can be crowded and noisy. Most charters ply a set crowded route through the bay close to Halong Port. All of our charters head further out and offer kayaking with delicious dining with an array of Vietnamese, seafood and Western dishes (dietary requirements can be arranged, including vegetarian, as well as special occasions celebrations, such as birthdays or anniversaries).
These are example of previous season's charters, for reference, though as mentioned above, we do charter newer or higher quality boats each season.
