Explore Halong Bay in style on board Indochina Sails - a fleet of four newly built wooden junks. The boats are designed in time-honoured traditional style, with contemporary and luxurious cabins and facilities. What better way to experience the natural beauty and spectacular seascape of this UNESCO World Heritage site than on board an Indochina Sails Junk.

Each of boats features spacious, well-appointed cabins and suites with large en-suite marble bathrooms, a large sundeck with comfortable lounging furniture and an elegant dining room and bar. The boats have designed and fitted to international standards while maintaining traditional Chinese Junk styling, creating the perfect balance of modern comforts and nostalgic ambiance.

The Indo 01 and Indo 02 are identical boats and were both launched in 2007. Each featured 15 comfortable cabins (Superior and Deluxe Cabins). The deluxe cabins are a bit larger and feature rainfall showers and are all situated on the second decks of the boats. The newest boat, Indo 03, launched in late 2008, features ceramic artworks handcrafted in Bat Trang, well known as the home of the country’s most talented ceramic craftsmen. All the boats are decorated with silk from Van Phuc, the “Silk Village”.

Launched in late 2007, the smaller boat, Valentine is perfect for those seeking a more exclusive and discreet experience. Valentine is a full service vessel offering all the facilities and amenities of larger boats, but comprises only five cabins, four Deluxe cabins at 19 square meters each and one Suite cabin at 30 square meters, all with Jacuzzis.
