We stayed on the Prince 3, a four cabin boat, for 3 days, 2 nights. I would definitely recommend the 2 night trip if you can afford it and have the time, otherwise, with all the time it takes to get there, you will only have 24 hours on the boat. Despite what the photos look like, all of the... More

During a recent trip to Hanoi, my wife and I decided on a 3-day (2 night) excursion to Halong Bay. My wife did a lot of research in choosing the tour operator and settled on Indochina Junk Tours. We are so glad that we chose this company. I have wanted to travel to Halong Bay for several years, and was... More

Just got back from a splendid 2day/1night cruise on Indochina's Dragon Pearl II. From the pickup to the drop off, this is a top notch operation. Although they operate probably dozens of weekly excursions, at no point did I feel as if was part of an "assembly line" experience. The deluxe cabin was comfortable and quiet, food was great, the...

After a fair bit of research on the different companies that ran junks and overnight trips to Halong Bay we decided on Indochina Junks. I emailed them 3 or 4 weeks before our trip to Vietnam, using contact details I'd found in the forums and on their website - make sure you go to the website that has the hyphen... More

We stayed in the Red Dragon within the first couple of days of our trip to Vietnam and it caused a bit of a problem, it was so perfect that everything else we planned to see or do had a real tough act to follow. The boat itself is spacious, spotlessly clean and very attractive; as we were travelling with... More

Our booking was changed to this boat due to the new legislation that boats must be white causing a reshuffle of guests. The boat was just fantastic - only 2 rooms. We had 5 crew for 4 guests so we were very, very spoilt. The food & service was the best in all of Vietnam (and the service was great... More

This cruise is ideal for people who want to avoid the crowds. A small boat with only three cabins for guests there were only 6 of us on this particular trip. This can be a good thing if, as was the case with us, everyone gets along - however if you got a bad group this could be a big... More

We sailed on the Red Dragon 2 and while it was an enjoyable experience, I don't think it can truly be classified as luxury. The rooms needed some basic maintenance and repairs and finishings were very cheap looking. When we came on board, they told us the boat was 2 years old but everyone on our tour agreed it looked...

We were booked to do this cruise, for my second time on the Red Dragon boat, they have several boats of different sizes. This time it was with my family and another family. I did this cruise with a group of friends in October 2010 for 1 night and could not fault it. It only sleeps about 10-11 passengers in... More
