Valentine Cruise is one of the most luxurious & boutique Junks in
Halong Bay, built in Vietnam , utilizing local materials and the
handiwork of skilled shipbuilders, craftsmen and artists. As in the days
of old they are built entirely of wood. The wood featured in the
interiors is called “go huong”, which translates as aromatic wood, it is
a highly durable and beautifully grained wood which adds to the rich
and warm character of the boats.
Each of our boats features spacious, well-appointed cabins and suites
with large ensuite marble bathrooms, a large sundeck with comfortable
lounging furniture and an elegant dining room and bar. We have designed
and fitted our boats to international standards while maintaining
traditional Chinese Junk styling, creating the perfect balance of modern
comforts and nostalgic ambiance.
Our smaller boat, the “Valentine”, launched in late 2007, is perfect
for those seeking a more exclusive and intimate experience. Valentine is
a full service vessel offering all the facilities and amenities of our
larger boats, but with only five cabins; four Deluxe cabins at 19 square
meters each and one Suite cabin at 30 square meters. All of the on
Valentine bathrooms feature bathtub/Jacuzzi as well as showers.
