Scenic Halong Bay, with its emerald seas,
rests beautifully over the Red River Delta. This region,
"the Bay of the Descending Dragon", is dotted with
more than 3,000 mountainous islands, each with its own unique
landscape. The islands are famous for their dolomite and
limestone rock formations, many of which have been given
names. Natural grottos, fjords, land tunnels and inlets are
also common. During the Vietnam War, numerous large ships
sailed through the open waters of the bay and now an excursion
by junk, cruises or fishing boat gives you the memorable
experience of sailing past silent, sea-girt caves and around
the spectacular formations, tasting fresh and authentic
Vietnamese cuisines, breathing cool breezing from the Gulf of
Tonkin and enjoying a romantic night with your sweet hearts
under the starry sky. That's all we can say how fantastic
Halong is and how amazing our junk cruise you will feel
because it's simply the best that we can offer you.
Enjoy the intimacy of a small party within
the space of Halong Bay’s largest cruise junk. A lengthy 55
meters from bow to stern and measuring an impressive 11 meters
wide, Halong Jasmine can accommodate 80 passengers at any one
time across four luxurious decks, with an overnight capacity
of 48. The attention to detail and quality of design is
apparent in every inch of this newly-built junk, artfully
marrying space, rich 1930s Indochina-style wooden décor and
exquisite ornamentation throughout its air-conditioned
bedrooms, restaurant, bars and communal spaces. Whether you
want to throw a party on the sundeck, enjoy an intimate
candle-lit dinner in the Jasmine restaurant, or just find a
quiet nook or cranny to relax and unwind, Cruise Halong’s
Jasmine junk is the perfect way to enjoy the bay.
Day 1: Hanoi - Halong Bay
Enjoy a warm
welcome aboard the Halong Jasmine, and sit back and drink in
the spectacular vista during our passage into this magical
bay.
Once lunch has been served and taste buds and tummies
thoroughly satisfied, we weigh anchor near a secluded beach.
Take a short trek to a nearby summit to enjoy the panoramic
view of the bay with Jasmine’s golden sails arcing elegantly
against the skyline before splashing down for a swim, or
recline on Jasmine’s wicker sun loungers on our expansive
wooden sundeck. Later that afternoon, we visit a local fishing
village where you have the opportunity to interact with some
of the more colorful locals who have lived and fished in the
bay for almost three generations.
At sunset, slip into a kayak or board a bamboo row boat to
explore water tunnels and discover pristine coral reef in a
scenic lagoon setting. Once back on board the ship, watch the
shimmering sun slip down the sky as you sip expertly-blended
cocktails as an aperitif for Jasmine’s extravagant evening
meal.

form your final lasting impression of Halong Bay’s
awe-inspiring beauty as we cruise back to the dock.
