There be dragons – Halong Bay

The legend goes that the islands of Halong Bay were formed by dragons who spit out jade and jewels into the sea to help the Vietnamese build a barrier to defend against would be invaders. After attempts to conquer the area were thwarted, the dragons fell in love with the bay and took eternal residence there. One look at these giant, limestone karsts, and I couldn’t help but be overtaken with the sense that we were sailing among the…

Fantastic cruise service on Halong Bay

I really enjoyed Indochina Sails during my visit with family over the Christmas holidays. We weren't sure how Christmas on a junk would turn out, but I was blown away. We all agreed that the crew made it one of the most memorable Christmas' for us with the holiday decorations, wonderful service, cheerful music, and fantastic food.
If your cruising experience is limited to the megaships sailing around the carribean, be prepared for a…

Experience of a lifetime

It is hard to choose a cruise for Halong Bay - there are so many, and there is very little to differentiate between the companies. I chose to book with Indochina Sails because of their mention of adequate life jackets etc (which is important to know when traveling in SE Asia!), but I am glad that we did.
The rooms are beautiful, the program is great,…

"Great Cruise"

Just got off the Indochina Sails - spent 2 nights on it.

Everything is exceptional from the food to the service to the rooms. There is nothing we can fault. It is definitely worth doing the 2night, the people who only did the 1 night regretted it as soon as they saw how beautiful the place and Indochina Sails is.



Our tour guide called 'lucky' made…

A dream journey in stunning surroundings

We travelled on the beautiful Indochina Sails junk on Halong Bay.



Overall well organised, staff go the extra mile (like retrieving a fellow travellers camera bag left in another tour bus after an initial mix up on the drive to Halong City).



The boat facilities are top notch, food and drinks were excellent and staff get exactly the right balance between making sure you everything…

Vietnam - A cultural feast

I envisioned hiking to remote villages to find mountain hill tribes; people living in indigenous villages, untouched by outside influences.



Instead, as we pulled into Sapa, in the northern part of Vietnam, a group of Black Hmong women gathered on the side of the road as our shuttle pulled into the center of town. A welcoming committee, perhaps?



As the van came to a stop, my jaw…

That is what we want!

We just spent a sweet holiday in Halong bay with Indochina Sails cruise.

This was also our 2nd anniversary so I needed a perfect and special place for us. It was useful to visit Trip Advisor because I found a long list of cruises instead of being lost with other online search engines. We decided to pick Indochina Sails cruise in the end after a variety of offers from the cruise tour company HalongLuxurytravel. It was a right…

Just a great experience

We (5) booked on their Red Dragon junk through our hotel in Hanoi.

The Red Dragon junks are smaller than their other junks with only 7 on board. Everything was great: the bus down and back was safely driven; the staff and crew were delightful, gracious and charming.

Our tour guide was Thinh who was fun and courteous. The activities: swimming off the beach and kayaking around an island and visit to a limestone cave made for an…
