Larger than The Prince and Princess it is still small enough to get up close to the natural wonders, pocket lagoons and small fishing communities of Halong and Bai Tu Long bays. « less

This cruise is really private and suitable for couples. Alternatively, if you have a group of 10 friends and are willing to splurge a little on Halong Bay, go for Red Dragon! Book all the 5 cabins and enjoy the whole ship to yourself. Booked a tour with Indochina. Email reply was prompt (replied in a day). Went with a... More

I chose this cruise based on the fact that they cruise away from busy Halong Bay so less pollution and no other boats except the Indochina Sails boats ( that we saw). Excellent food on board. The area is magnificent. We stopped in the afternoon for a swim or kayak on a little beach and went into a cave on... More

There are apparently two Red Dagon ships, and we went on the second. Everything everyone has written is correct - the level of service, the facilities on board, the side trips were all excellent. I wanted to mention one fact that vegetarians like me will find useful - not only did they serve us cooked (Vietnamese) vegetarian meals, they took... More

We were on the one night/two day Red Dragon II Junk early February, and we found this to be the highlight of our trip to Vietnam. As others have mentioned, this was not inexpensive, but it was worth every penny. There were 6 crew and 6 guests. We were lucky to have interesting companions, as there was quite a bit... More

Halong Bay is two things - 1. Jam packed full of tourists and 2. An absolute must for anyone who has the opportunity and the funds! The Bay itself is full of tourist boats for a reason, because it is an absolutely amazing and truly unique experience. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site for a reason & it's one of... More
