About Grand Pioneers Halong Bay Cruise

A grand floating palace amidst limestone giants.
Gleaming brass and polished timber set a rather splendid tone aboard this stately vessel. Art deco touches adorn the halls, whilst floor-to-ceiling windows frame the daily limestone theatre. High tea unfolds beneath twinkling chandeliers, and moonlight bathes private balconies in silver as karst peaks drift silently past.
From $310 per person/per night

Property details

The property

Art Deco elegance flows through multi-level lounges and the glass-walled dining room. The spa offers treatments with dramatic peak views, while the sundeck hosts morning tai chi and evening cocktails. A spectacular rooftop pool provides the perfect vantage point for afternoon lounging.

The rooms

Beautifully appointed cabins feature polished woods, and gleaming brass and silk accents. Private balconies beckon for dawn stretches or sunset drinks. Marble bathrooms boast deep soaking tubs - perfectly positioned for admiring those towering peaks.

Why we love it

Why we love it

The utterly civilised afternoon tea - proper scones arrive on tiered silver stands while one gazes at passing limestone monoliths.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

Skip the spa menu and book the traditional Vietnamese massage - the therapists work wonders with tired muscles after a day of adventure.
