Halong Sails (formerly Victory Star Cruise)

Private 2-Cabin Traditional Junk Cruise

Halong Sails, formerly known as Victory Star Cruise, is a private 2-cabin traditional junk that captures the timeless charm of Halong Bay with its iconic red sails, classic design, and warm wood-paneled interiors. Renamed but preserving the same vessel and service standard, Halong Sails continues to offer an intimate and authentic cruising experience.

Designed for travelers seeking privacy, the cruise features a cozy indoor dining area, a classic wooden lounge and bar, and open deck spaces ideal for sightseeing and sunset moments. With only two private cabins onboard, guests enjoy complete exclusivity—perfect for couples, families, or small groups.

Onboard highlights include:

  • A signature sundeck with traditional red sails

  • A private dining area serving freshly prepared Vietnamese and Western cuisine

  • A warm wood-finished lounge and bar with classic nautical character

  • Personalized service from an experienced and attentive crew

Each cabin is comfortably equipped with air-conditioning, an en-suite bathroom with shower, quality toiletries, and large windows offering natural light and bay views.

Whether kayaking through peaceful waters, admiring limestone karsts, enjoying sunset drinks on deck, or simply relaxing in total privacy, Halong Sails (formerly Victory Star Cruise) delivers a refined, personal, and unforgettable Halong Bay journey.
