Indochina Sails Description by Hanoi Tours
 New deluxe
junk of the fleet - the Indochina Sails - in service since April 2007. After
the success of Ginger Cruise and the high demand of the
customers, we have launched this sister boat. With well-appointed design and
decor, the junk will together with its twin sister bring guests excellent
experience cruising the World Heritage site.
Discover the splendors of Halong Bay aboard the the Indochina
Sails, a wooden junk that combines classic beauty with modern comfort.
Measuring 40 meters in length, this newly built, custom-designed yacht features
three decks that house an elegant restaurant, two bars, a small library, and a
massage room-plus ten luxurious sleeping cabins. With so much space, passengers
can truly unwind and enjoy the bay’s magnificent scenery.
While all those who visit Halong Bay are charmed by the
archipelago’s beauty, few visitors are aware that the three-thousand islands
that dot this bay are home to many rare plants, including species found nowhere
else in the world. With its golden sails, polished woodwork and refined, Asian
décor, the Indochina Sail offers an unforgettable ambiance of relaxed
elegance. Join us, and see Halong Bay in style.
Life on board
 Measuring
40 meters long and 8,5 meters wide, our custom-built wooden junk features
three decks, all outfitted with elegant Asian inspired decor. The lower deck is
devoted to Passenger Cabins, with sleeping space for 30 people. The Reception,
Restaurant, the Bar, Gift Shop and Library are all located on the main deck. On
the top deck passengers will find the Sunset Bar and a spacious lounge area,
which is perfect for our morning Tai Chi classes, weekend BBQs and sunset
cocktails.
Guests are welcome to make use of our binoculars,
snorkeling equipment, and top-of-the-line Canadian made Seaward
kayaks.
Accommodation
 While
the view is undoubtedly the best feature of each of our ten guest cabins, guests
will also appreciate the rooms’ tasteful décor and furnishings. To complement
the bay’s natural beauty we have outfitted the cabins in natural materials: wood
floors covered with sedge mats; walls covered with woven bamboo panels; and
ceilings decorated with bamboo panels hand-painted with a ginger motif. The
standing shower, meanwhile, features mosaic tiles in Orchid flower patterns.
Restaurant
A pleasant ambiance, attentive staff and great views make our
restaurant the perfect place to sample the exotic delights of Vietnamese
cuisine. Guests can look forward to lavish international breakfast buffets,
casual, sit-down lunches of Vietnamese dishes, and formal dinners with
delectable fusion cuisine. All dishes are prepared to please both the eye and
the palate. Special BBQ dinners are served on the Sundeck on weekends, or upon a
group’s request. |
