Description
Staying on the Halong Ginger is a wonderful way to cruise around the dramatic scenery of Halong Bay's 3000 islands whilst enjoying the luxuries of being on board such a beautiful, custom-designed boat.
During your time on the Halong Ginger, you can relax on the top deck taking in the passing scenery, join in the early morning Tai Chi class, or try your hand at a traditional Vietnamese cookery class. For those wanting to explore off the boat, there is a tender which can take you to deserted beaches and lakes, or you can simply swim in the warm waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.
This boat has 3 decks and just ten comfortable cabins reflecting refined Asian decor and relaxed elegance. As there are so few passengers on board Halong Ginger, the service is attentive and discreet and you will want for nothing during your voyage.
