About Red Dragon Junk

The Red Dragon Junk brings together traditional Vietnamese character and modern boutique comfort in an intimate setting. Inspired by the much-loved original wooden Red Dragon, this newly upgraded steel junk retains its distinctive batwing sail silhouette while offering just 8 elegant cabins for a more private experience.

Rather than following the most crowded parts of the bay, it takes guests through the quieter landscapes of Bai Tu Long Bay, where pristine nature and peaceful waters take centre stage. The onboard experience is equally unhurried, with spa, sauna, herbal bath, fitness, and mineral pool facilities designed to make relaxation an integral part of the journey.

Beyond our expectations

We nearly were the only boat in sight because the path was distant from the regular boat traffic. The cooks were great; they made sure my wife didn't miss any treats. Every one of the team was attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we were having fun. The bonus was a small boat that allowed the group to bond and made the three days seem like we were among friends.

Beautiful wild nature in Bai Tu Long Bay!

Fantastic 3-day trip on the Red Dragon, a small boat, touring Bai Tu Long Bay. We went to a beautiful remote beach off the beaten track, where we enjoyed a BBQ on the beach. The food has been exceptional, fresh, tasty, and healthy. Being on a 3-day cruise, we avoided the crowds, so when we visited the cave, we were the only ones there—kayaking, swimming, squid fishing and enjoying the fantastic scenery and food. Even the visit to the fishing village was excellent! We had a wonderful time, and the staff were very attentive.

There was always some easy activity (kayak, swimming, small cave visit) balanced with some relaxation time and eating (excellent food). We were delighted to have chosen this boat size. And incredible scenery all along.

Lovely wooden Red Dragon boat!

We booked Red Dragon to explore Bai Tu Long Bay which is less touristic and quiet. The beauty in Bai Tu Long was wild and gave me adventure. The spacious room and wooden style made me warm, had a nice sleep. Recommend!

Vintage wooden private cruise sails on Bai Tu Long!

A lovely wooden Red Dragon cruise took us to a less touristic area, Bai Tu Long. All services and activities were the attraction for us on the trip. We always remember this Bai Tu Long and come back if we have an opportunity!
