An Intimate Journey Aboard the Prince Private Cruise
The Prince Private Cruise, part of the Indochina Junk fleet, offers a distinctive and personalized way to discover the serene beauty of Bai Tu Long Bay. Modeled after classic Vietnamese fishing vessels but on a more refined scale, this charming ship launched in 2008. With just four cabins, it ensures an exclusive atmosphere for up to eight guests, making it an ideal choice for families, small groups, or couples desiring privacy and tailored service amidst the bay's iconic limestone karsts.
Traditional Design Meets Modern Comfort
Crafted by skilled artisans, the Prince Junk showcases traditional teak and oak paneling and furniture, creating an authentic and warm ambiance. While embracing a classic aesthetic, the vessel provides essential modern amenities for a comfortable stay. Guests can anticipate a truly bespoke experience, far removed from the larger, more crowded ships.
Thoughtfully Appointed Accommodations
Each of the four Deluxe cabins is designed to offer a peaceful retreat. Positioned on the main deck, these rooms feature large windows that provide soothing views of the surrounding seascape, allowing natural light to fill the space. Cabins are equipped with a comfortable double or twin bed arrangement, ensuring a restful night's sleep after a day of exploration.
Culinary Delights and Scenic Dining
Dining on board the Prince Private Cruise is a highlight, with a focus on Vietnamese cuisine prepared by skilled chefs. The ship features both indoor and outdoor dining areas, offering flexibility for guests to enjoy their meals in a private setting or under the open sky. Whether savoring a meal in the oriental-style indoor restaurant or enjoying a sunset dinner on the sundeck, the culinary journey complements the breathtaking scenery.
Relaxation and Exploration
Beyond the cabins and dining, the ship provides ample opportunities for relaxation and engagement. The rooftop sundeck is a perfect spot for sunbathing, enjoying refreshing drinks, or simply admiring the panoramic vistas of Bai Tu Long and Ha Long Bay. Various activities are organized to allow guests to explore the natural wonders and local culture of the region, ensuring a well-rounded and memorable cruise.
Based on 36 customer reviews, the Prince Private Cruise consistently receives an 'Excellent' rating of 4.7 out of 5. Guests frequently praise the attentive and knowledgeable crew, the intimate and authentic atmosphere of the smaller vessel, and the high quality of the food, with special mention of personalized meal accommodations.

While some minor points like carpet upgrades or initial smells were noted, the overall sentiment indicates a highly recommended and memorable experience, particularly for its ability to explore less crowded areas of Bai Tu Long Bay.
