Massage Cabin
Discover the splendors of Halong Bay aboard the Indochina Sails 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 Sails
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.
Accommodation
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.
