Halong Ginger

Cruise TypeRiver cruises

The Ginger blends classical beauty with modern comfort, catering to groups of between 6 and 20 people. Measuring 38 metres in length and 8 metres in width, she has 3 decks that house the elegant restaurant, a lounge, 2 bars, a small boutique and a library, as well as 10 luxurious sleeping cabins. Fitted out with wood and bamboo, the interior is charming. The stylish decoration of the dining room – not to mention the fact that the staff change their uniforms to serve meals – is highly impressive, seemingly more suited to a five-star hotel.

Embarkation

Halong Bay Pier.

Day 1: Halong Bay

The Halong Ginger sets sail from Halong Bay at lunch time, via a short boat transfer from the pier to where the Junk is moored. Welcome drinks are served, followed by a leisurely lunch on board, whilst cruising towards Bai Tu Long Bay. Here, revel in the mysteries surrounding the bay, where thousands of sculpted limestone islands rise out above the waves. You will have the opportunity to take a stroll up to the summit which shelters the bay, where some breathtaking views will greet you. Later, take a refreshing dip in the waters off Soi Sim Island or simply relax and sunbathe on board the Halong Ginger for the rest of the afternoon. You may like to take a kayak or a traditional bamboo rowing boat to the scenic lagoon of Hang Doi. There is also an option of a visit to a typical fishing village. As the sun sets, enjoy some cocktails and dinner back on board.

Set the pace for the day ahead, with some gentle Tai Chi exercises on board as the sun rises in the distance. Visit Sung Sot Grotto and witness the beautiful limestone that makes this area so special. A mid morning brunch will be served on board, allowing you the opportunity to savour the views from the Junk for one last time, before heading back to Halong Bay.
