Overview History

Discover the splendors of Halong Bay aboard the Halong Ginger, a wooden junk that combines classic beauty with modern comfort. Measuring 38 meters (125 feet) 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. We chose our boat’s name - Halong Ginger - because, like the plant it was named after, our junk is perfectly suited to this environment. With its golden sails, polished woodwork and refined, Asian décor, the Halong Ginger offers an unforgettable ambiance of relaxed elegance. Join us, and see Halong Bay in style.

 

Life on board

Measuring 38 meters (125 feet) long and 8 meters (23 feet) 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 20 people. The Reception, Restaurant, Ginger 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, 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 Ginger 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.

The 'Ginger', a sister junk of 'Jasmine', is nicely decorated, you feel that you are going back in time to the glamorous '20s and '30s. We enjoyed staying in a smaller junk, it did not feel overcrowded and we received excellent attention and friendly service. Our family stayed 2 days and 1 night and both the teenagers and little ones enjoyed it. From the moment you arrive, you are treated wonderfully by the crew. Food was delicious and there was plenty of it (buffet lunch and breakfast, sit-down dinner). Clean, comfortable cabins with a/conditioning. The activities are very interesting: we visited a floating fishing village and caves, climbed to the top of a hill for a wonderful view of the bay, chilled on a secluded beach, and did tai chi at sunrise. Relaxing on deck was also fantastic, sipping cocktails at sunset, enjoying gorgeous views of the bay and karst rock formations, watching fishing junks pass by. Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage site, after all. If you are driving (or driven) to Halong Bay from Hanoi, the 3 hour journey will give you a chance to see the rustic countryside, with rice paddies along the road and karst formations emerging as you approach the Gulf of Tonkin. Photographer's paradise!

We did the one night tour on the Halong Ginger Cruises and were delighted from start to finish. We upgraded to the best cabin on the boat and it was well worth it! We had floor to ceiling window with a balcony and it was bliss lying in bed watching Halong Bay going by. Very comfortable and clean surroundings throughout the boat, i would equate it with a 4star hotel. The Staff were friendly, food was buffet style with a reasonable choice. There were optional excursions by tender but the boat and scenery is so good that it's hard to leave it. I did Tai chi at 7am with some other guests on the top deck - lovely experience in beautiful surroundings. A chef demonstration followed that which was great fun and very interesting.
