ORIENTAL BRIDGE CRUISES IN HALONG, LAN HA AND BAI TU LONG
CRUISES ON A DELUXE COLLECTIVE BOAT
CRUISES ON A DELUXE COLLECTIVE BOAT
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 managed by Bhaya Cruises, a company of impeccable reputation.
If you prefer a smaller deluxe collective junk, we propose several junks managed by another very reputable operator Indochina Junk.
