Dragon Pearl Cruise

In keeping with the tradition of wooden boat building, this 32 meter long, 8-meter wide masterpiece is constructed of the finest quality materials by the hands of skilled craftsman. Designed after the Chinese sailing Junks of old, there are three traditional sails; a 13-meter main sail, a 14-meter front sail, and a 7-meter cross sail. As you enter the Dragon's Pearl you come to the reception counter on the first of the two lower decks, which have a total of 18 twin/double fully equipped cabins.

Each 9m2, air-conditioned cabin boasts its own bathroom with hot water shower, a closet and night table. In each cabin you enjoy the elegant design of the fine woodwork that is evident throughout. For your convenience, there are also 3 shared bathrooms onboard including on the dining deck. On the 3rd floor you'll find the elegant dining room and bar, exquisitely designed with handcrafted Teak and Oak. This spacious area has 36 seats and is perfect for either a romantic dinner for two or family dining. To the rear of the deck is a cozy, covered lounging/dining area where you can enjoy the stunning views of Halong Bay through the elegant archways. On the forward deck is the captain's wheel house and a large outdoor lounging area, perfect for taking in the views while enjoying a refreshing drink or just sitting back with your favorite book.

On top is the spacious, 150 square meter tanning deck with 15 comfortable lounge chairs for you to laze away in. 8 meters above the water, you'll have a panoramic view of the limestone karsts towering from the emerald waters of Halong Bay.
