Indochina Sails Premium

Indochina Sails is proud to announce the launch of the newest addition to its fleet of luxury junks. The “Indochina Sails Premium” began sailing the tranquil waters of Halong Bay in November 2010.

Following in the tradition of our entire fleet, the Indochina Sails Premium offers luxurious accommodation, professional and friendly service, fine Vietnamese and Western cuisine and an itinerary designed to maximize your holiday pleasure.

Our junks are built to the highest standards, in a time-honoured style, with first-class modern facilities. We have combined the best of Old World and New and the best of East and West to create a unique and memorable way to explore one of Mother Nature’s most spectacular creations.

The Indochina Sails Premium comprises 24 exquisitely appointed cabins, ultra spacious public areas, Massage Cabin and Gym.

When not in your cabin you can relax and soak in the beauty of the Bay from the immense sundeck. The sundeck’s size allows for large groups to gather together and for couples to find a private spot to enjoy the splendor passing by during the day or to stargaze in the evening.

In addition to the sundeck, our newest vessel has an expansive indoor lounge on the second deck. Boasting the biggest windows of any boat on the Bay and comfy lounge sofas spread over the airy space where our guests can enjoy drinks, conversation and perhaps a game of cards, chess or scrabble. We have provided a special spot for enjoying indoor comforts without missing a bit of the incredible scenery Halong Bay has to offer.

Our goal is to offer a soothing as well as stimulating experience that you will remember and cherish. Our dedicated and professional management and staff await you and look forward to serving you on magnificent Halong Bay.
