Handcrafted by skilled artisans, the Deluxe Double Cabin is wrapped in rich teak and oak paneling, creating a warm and rustic Indochinese atmosphere. The room is thoughtfully designed with a large ocean-view window overlooking the bay, individual air conditioning, and a modern en-suite bathroom featuring a glass-standing shower enclosure.
Overview
Quiet waters, traditional wood, and the limestone scenery of Bai Tu Long Bay set the scene for a very different kind of cruise. Prince Junk Cruise keeps its experience intimate with just 4 deluxe cabins for more privacy and a closer connection to the bay.
Inspired by the traditional character of Vietnamese wooden boats, Prince Junk combines a classic design with comfortable modern accommodation. The handcrafted wooden interiors create a warm and timeless atmosphere, while the compact size of the junk makes the journey feel personal rather than crowded for a more relaxed Halong Bay cruise experience.
The Bai Tu Long Bay tour focuses on enjoying the bay at an unhurried pace. Guests can spend time on the sundeck, enjoy meals onboard, and take part in experiences such as kayaking, cave exploration, fishing village visits, Tai Chi, cooking activities, and beach BBQs, depending on the selected itinerary.
For travelers exploring Bai Tu Long Bay Cruises beyond the usual busy routes, Prince Junk offers a chance to discover the quieter landscapes of Bai Tu Long Bay while staying aboard a traditional-style vessel.
