About Dragon Pearl Junks
Dragon Pearl Junk has stood on top recommendation list of Halong Bay Cruise ever since it started operation. Despite its modest design and standard amenities, it is the staff's attention to details and unique cruise program that have earned its reputation. Dragon Pearl crews always try to make you feel comfortable on board and ensure that you enjoy the trip to the fullest. As for the program, you will be cruising mainly in Bai Tu Long area, where you can see more of Halong and less of tourists.
There are a total of 3 vessels named Dragon Pearl Junk, each with 11 well appointed cabins, with fine woodwork cutting through the architecture and interior decoration. The common area can seat up to 36 and perfect for any cruiser looking forward to venturing out Halong Bay. The sundeck on top of the cruise is great for phototaking, sunset watching or simply resting.
Enjoy the colors and images of the Bay with Dragon Pearl and you will not be disappointed in the least.

4 of us stayed for 1 night. The cabin was small but tidy and clean. The staff was kind and welcoming. The food was yummy. The view of the bay was impressive. The area was also quiet and less touristy. Highly recommended!
Good food. Friendly and nice staff. Breathtaking scenery. Thank you!
Amazing view, perfect sunset. The bay was not crowded. Kayaking and the cave tour were interesting.
The cabin was compact and clean. The dinner outside was excellent. The activities were just enough to enjoy the bay view and relax. We certainly recommend Dragon Pearl Junk.
Booked 2 nights on Dragon Pearl! Everything went smoothly and not too many people onboard made the trip more relaxing and enjoyable. The bay was magnificent and we enjoyed all the activities. The second day was absolutely amazing with serene scenery, clean water, and perfect weather. The cabin and ship itself may need some upgrades. The bed was a bit small as well.
My friend and I had 1 night on Dragon Pearl. We both loved the small cruise and untouched area and this trip met our needs well. The bay was peaceful and beautiful. Comfortable room and good food. There were mainly Vietnamese dishes and a bit too much.
The bay was not so busy and there was a small group onboard that was perfect. The ship looks vintage and traditional. The food was yummy. Our cabin was small but pretty comfortable. The staff was super friendly and did a good job.
There were not many boats around and the view was spectacular. We love the trip very much. The boat itself was outdated but the traditional junk style was unique. Worth trying!
My wife and I had a nice stay. The staff was caring and informative. We visited a cave and a beautiful fishing village. The food was nice.
We booked 1 night on Dragon Pearl Junk. The ship was traditional. Our cabin was comfortable with the necessary amenities. The staff was friendly. The view of the bay was fabulous. It was very quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend.
We got a 2 night trip on Dragon Pearl Junk number 01. The trip was far less crowded than we thought and we were so glad we chose Bai Tu Long instead of Halong Bay. The views were very stunning. The ship was old, classic but well-equipped. The food was exceptional and well fit our taste. We enjoyed activities like cave visit, fishing village, pearl farm, kayaking and swimming. We would definitely recommend to friends and family.
A nice experience overall. The ship and cabin were clean. The staff was friendly. Kayaking was interesting.
We chose 3 days and 2 nights as many recommendations. The bus transfer was a limo and very comfy. Our cabin was clean. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially our tour guide Coco. This trip might best for groups of friends or couples. Highly recommended!
We stayed on Dragon Pearl 2 for 3 days. The ship was clean. The crew was friendly but not really excellent. However, Bai Tu Long bay was very beautiful. Worth trying.
Marvelous landscapes. Nice traditional boat. The room was small but the bed was comfortable. The staff asked about our food allergies and catered for very good food. The wine menu was varied. Highly recommended!
The room was tidy and clean.
The food was nice and lots of it.
The staff (Long) was very dedicated and kind.
Tom was the best tour guide. He was extremely friendly and helpful. Food was high-quality. Kayaking was the best. Should stay for 2 nights for exploring the bay farther.
More peaceful and fewer tourists were the reasons we choose Bai Tu Long bay and Dragon Pearl Junk. The ship itself was beautiful and classic. We had brilliant food following our dietary requirements. Highly appreciate that! The crew went out of their way to make our trip comfortable, safe and enjoyable. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WOULD COME BACK!
Our honeymoon trip on Bai Tu Long Bay was the best choice ever. We did a 3day and 2-night trip and there was the right amount of activities. Our cabin was small but the ensuite was spacious. The view from the window was perfect. The food was plentiful and yummy. The crew was really nice. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
