The newest deluxe junk of the fleet - the Indochina
Sail - just start in early April 2007. With well-appointed design and
decor, the junk will together with its twin sister bring guests exellent
experience cruising the Wold Heritage site.
Discover the splendors of Halong Bay aboard the
the Indochina Sail
a wooden
junk that combines classic beauty with modern comfort. Measuring 40
meters 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—
the Indochina Sail
—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 Indochina Sail
offers an unforgettable ambiance of relaxed
elegance. Join us, and see Halong Bay in style.
Life on board
Measuring 40 meters long and 8,5 meters 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 30 people. The Reception, Restaurant,
the Indochina Sail
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.
Accomodation
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 Orchid 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.
