Oriental Bridge Cruises in Halong and Other Bays
Cruises on a Deluxe Collective Junk
Cruises on a Deluxe Collective Junk
On April 2012, all the owners of collective junks have received from the Government order to repaint the hull of all their junks white. Therefore, the photos of the exterior of the Bhaya and Indochina Junk which are on this page of our website are not accurate any longer, but the interior of the junks remain the same.
If our private junks are too simple for your taste, we can also make a reservation on a large deluxe collective boat, the Bahya Classic (37.50 m – launched in 2007), managed by Bhaya Cruises, a company of impeccable reputation. The boat counts 2 decks, (18 deluxe cabins and 2 royal suites), a bar-restaurant deck, a sundeck, a Spa area, a library, and other deluxe amenities.
If you prefer a smaller deluxe collective junk, we propose the 5-cabin Red Dragon or the 11-cabin Dragon’s Pearl of the renown company Indochina Junk. The Red Dragon is available only for 2-day cruises.
