Halong Bay: Private Luxury Junk Overnight Cruise

Drift through 1,600 emerald limestone karsts on a private luxury junk, kayaking hidden lagoons and dining on fresh seafood under a canopy of stars. Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — and this is the only way to truly experience it.

What to expect

Board your elegantly appointed wooden junk at Tuan Chau Marina and glide into the UNESCO-listed bay. A private guide leads kayaking excursions into secret caves and floating villages. Sunset is marked with cocktails on the sundeck as limestone towers glow golden. Onboard, a chef prepares a multi-course seafood dinner featuring freshly caught crab, prawns, and clams.
