Sailing the jade waters of Halong Bay in Vietnam is the stuff legends are made of. Just add misty mornings, a traditional junk design – such as that of Paradise Cruise’s luxury boats – and a UNESCO Heritage Site whose name translates as Descending Dragon Bay for a combination that ensures you’re in for the trip of a lifetime.
Onboard for either the Paradise Luxury, Peak, Privilege or Explorer Cruises, tuck in to Vietnamese flavours (poached prawn and local herb salad, steamed red snapper with soya sauce, and green bean chocolate cake) served in a stylish restaurant and bar. Paradise’s fleet are also the only cruisers in Halong Bay to provide complete spa facilities, including Jacuzzi, dry sauna, massages and beauty treatments – book in for pamper time then head to the top deck to take in the mystical views.
The luxe factor continues in the cabins (from eight to 17 cabins per boat, they’re each built with a focus on enjoying the views) and follows through to the itinerary.
