Dragon Pearl Junk: A Beloved Classic & One of Bai Tu Long Bay’s Top-Rated Cruises

Since its first days of operation, Dragon Pearl Junk has consistently remained among the most recommended cruises in Halong Bay. While the vessel features a modest, traditional design with standard amenities, its exceptional reputation comes from two things:

A caring, detail-oriented crew, and
A unique, well-crafted itinerary that avoids the crowds.

Sailing primarily through the tranquil Bai Tu Long Bay, Dragon Pearl offers guests the chance to admire the majestic beauty of Halong Bay without the bustle—more nature, fewer tourists, and a deeper sense of serenity.

Traditional Wooden Boats With Warm, Cozy Cabins

The fleet includes three Dragon Pearl vessels, each designed with 11 well-appointed cabins featuring fine woodwork and charming traditional décor. Despite the intimate size, the boat feels warm, inviting, and perfectly suited for travelers who appreciate authenticity.

The cozy common area accommodates up to 36 guests, making it ideal for shared journeys, small groups, or travelers who want a more social cruise experience. Meanwhile, the sundeck on the top of the boat is a highlight—perfect for:

Photographing the limestone peaks
Watching the sun set behind the karsts
Relaxing with a drink while the boat drifts gently through the bay

A True Taste of Bai Tu Long Bay’s Natural Beauty

Dragon Pearl’s itinerary focuses on lesser-visited areas—allowing guests to enjoy peaceful waters, quiet beaches, hidden caves, and more meaningful interactions with nature. The crew consistently goes the extra mile to ensure comfort, great service, and memorable moments throughout the journey.

For an intimate, scenic, and charming cruise that showcases Halong Bay’s quiet side, Dragon Pearl Junk is a wonderful choice—full of character, natural beauty, and heartfelt hospitality.
