About Paradise Peak Cruise

A lustrous junk boat with front row seats to the wonders of Halong Bay.
Gliding past the ancient limestone sentinels of Halong Bay, Paradise Peak is the picture of sophistication with Sinbad-esque sails and gleaming interiors. You'll be looked after by your personal butler, dine on delicious seafood or learn Tai Chi on the deck as increasingly striking scenes come into view. A treasured place of sparkling bays, rich biodiversity and caves that hold more than a few legends, Halong Bay is worth a roam. And you'll have numerous chances to do so - kayak round the islands, lay out on a private beach or take a hike to find the ultimate vantage point.

Property details

The property

As one of the finest junk boats in the bay, Paradise Peak has a polished but understated style. A fusion of Western-Asian specialties (the seafood takes first place) are served at your venue of choice - the dashing restaurant, the open-air deck or enjoyed in the privacy of your suite. La Parfum Spa offers the royal treatment of massages and body wraps. The rooftop bar is ripe for a sunset cocktail and beside the billowing sails, sun loungers provide a cushy spot to enjoy the view or a book from the library.

The rooms

Each cabin is bright and stylish with massive linen-clad beds and wall-to-wall picture windows to enjoy the changing vistas. Decorated with painted scenes of Vietnam, the cabins come with a large TV and dining area, and all but the Junior Suites have a spacious balcony with rattan recliners. The sizeable bathrooms are decked out with a walk-in shower and spa tub. The ornate wardrobes provide plenty of storage space and other amenities include a tea/coffee maker, mini bar and air-con.

Activities

Before you embark on an adventure across the bay, join the chef for a lesson in Vietnamese cuisine. Depending on the length of your stay, the activities vary. First up, is a visit to a local pearl farm, then it's time to hit the caves. Sung Sot is the largest and one of the most famous in Halong Bay, where the colourful 'Opera House' lies at its centre. Day 2 is a whirlwind of mystical caverns, floating villages and a hike to the peak of Ti Top island. Of course, there's swimming off private beaches, kayaking and fishing in between.
Why we love it

Why we love it

With just eight cabins, Paradise Peak is perfectly petite! You won't find any skimping on the comfort levels and the rooms are a delight.
Insiders tip

Insiders Tip

There's a choice to board for one or two nights and if you fancy visiting the more far-out sights, it's worth staying an extra day.
Something to think about

Something to think about

Halong Bay is junk boat central and they all have to follow strict routes to catch the highlights, so you won't be cruising alone.
