About Dragon Pearl Junk
Dragon's Pearl Junk is the more extensive junk boat available to groups in the Indochina Junk family. The three Dragon's Pearl boats were fashioned after old-school Chinese junks that used to sail.
Dragon's Pearl offers an off-the-beaten-path cruise trip to Bai Tu Long Bay with a variety of exciting activities, much like all the other boats in Indochina Junk's fleet. Up to the very last second of your journey, our staff makes every effort to make sure you are entirely happy.
This traditional junk boat is a perfect mid-range cruise for business incentive groups or gatherings with excellent attendance (up to 20 persons). Alternatively, reserve a spot and make new acquaintances while cruising the bay.
Facilities & Deck Plan
This mid-range cruise has 3 decks, 10 cabins, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Each cabin is tastefully furnished in a rustic design and equipped with contemporary conveniences for a pleasant overnight stay:
On the first deck, there are 04 Twin cabins and 02 Double cabins with a size 11m2.
The second deck is where the other 04 Double Cabins and the indoor dining area are located.
The third deck features a sundeck for a relaxation area and an outdoor dining place.

Yes, but pls note that there's not many flights to Hai Phong Airport (Cat Bi airport). Also, if you want to get to the cruise right after landing, you need to arrive and finish check out procedure at least before 9 am.

We are quite upset with our schedule since we planned to go to Bai Tu Long Bay but were forced to go to Halong Bay due to inclement weather.

From the start, Haley was responsive and professional and tailored an itinerary perfectly suited to our wishes. She stayed in touch throughout the trip, making sure everything went smoothly—from transfers, hotel bookings, and train tickets to the Dragon Pearl Junk cruise, which was a standout! The service onboard was exceptional, the staff warm and friendly, and the food truly Michelin standard.
It was our first time booking with BestPrice, and although the itinerary was quite complex, Ms. Haley Luong made everything smooth and stress-free. She planned the trip perfectly according to our wishes, was always quick to respond, and stayed in touch throughout the journey to ensure everything went as planned.

Zoe Do at the Best Price Travel was quite helpful in ensuring that our experience was hassle-free, including organizing transportation from Hanoi to the cruise ship and subsequently to our next location. The cruise was fantastic; we had great food and beverages, met wonderful people on the boat, and our guide, Quan (Tony), was hilarious, pleasant, and educational. We enjoyed the optional activities and participated in them all!
If you prefer to avoid the more congested areas of Ha Long Bay, this is the cruise to take. We had sunset cocktails, a barbecue on the beach, kayaking, and multiple course meals on the deck; there were few other boats nearby. Fantastic experience. Less
The team was wonderful, very kind, and the guide was dynamic, and interesting. The meals were excellent; the last lunch was perhaps a little rushed due to the landing, but it was still very good! The visits were enjoyable, and the scenery was spectacular. It was a fantastic cruise.
The taxi ride to Hanoi was also very pleasant.
Thank you for helping with the tour.
My buddies and I spent two days and one night on a boat to Bai Tu Long. This area has fewer tourists and less litter. The trip was not too large, so we had our own menus. We also had plenty of time and room to shoot beautiful shots. Our tour guide, Hung Coco, was especially nice, and I enjoyed his sense of humor.
