Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, is like a giant watercolor painting with thousands of rocky islands of various shapes, always an inviting destination for tourists to explore. Many people want to fully admire that beauty in just one day, but still yearn for a truly luxurious, comfortable and memorable journey. Understanding that, the Black Pearl cruise was born – a splendid 5-star “black pearl”, the perfect choice for a classy 1-day tour of Ha Long Bay. Launched and officially put into operation from 2023, this 5-star Ha Long cruise not only impresses with its modern design, luxurious space along with a selected route to explore Route 2, promising to bring a different and valuable experience in the heart of wonders.
When choosing a cruise to explore Ha Long Bay during the day, the Black Pearl cruise stands out for compelling reasons. Stepping on board, you will immediately feel the true 5-star class with the most modern and luxurious design. As one of the newest yachts on the bay, each high-end interior detail is meticulously cared for, creating a sophisticated resort space on the sea through 3 airy floors. The newness of the ship ensures all amenities are clean and classy. Another big plus is the ideal size of 99 guests, creating the perfect balance between privacy, intimacy and space spacious enough to accommodate high-end amenities without feeling cramped. What really makes Black Pearl different are the outstanding amenities for a day tour: imagine yourself relaxing in the warm water of the unique outdoor 4-season Jacuzzi on the 2nd floor area, or lounging on the spacious sundeck with a 360-degree view of the mountains and the sky. Besides, luxurious restaurants, stylish bars and convenient bathrooms contribute to creating a complete journey.

The heart of the Black Pearl cruise experience is the 6-hour tour specially designed to take you to the most unique spots of Ha Long Line 2 – the most popular heritage discovery route. The journey will take you past symbols of the bay such as Fighting Islet, before stopping to explore the splendor of Sung Sot Cave. Next, you will have the opportunity to experience the unique Luon Cave by kayaking or riding a bamboo boat inside. A must-see stop is Ti Top Island, where you can freely swim on the smooth white sand beach or conquer the mountain top to take in the panoramic view of majestic Ha Long Bay.
An indispensable part that makes a trip on the Black Pearl cruise complete is the exquisite culinary experience. The special highlight of the day tour is the 5-star standard lunch buffet served at a luxurious restaurant. The diverse menu harmoniously combines Asian and European flavors, with special emphasis on fresh seafood dishes typical of the Gulf region such as shrimp, squid, oysters…, meticulously prepared and attractively presented. This hearty lunch is included in the tour price. At the end of the afternoon, guests are also invited to participate in a free sunset afternoon tea party with cakes, fresh fruit and fragrant tea on the sundeck, an ideal moment of relaxation when the ship returns to the dock.

The Black Pearl cruise has just been in operation not too long ago and has quickly received many positive feedback. Visitors highly appreciate the newness, modernity and luxury of the ship. The quality of the cuisine, especially the buffet lunch, also received many compliments. Besides, the professional service and enthusiastic and friendly attitude of the staff are strong scoring factors. The activities on the itinerary were all considered interesting and well organized, with a general feeling that the trip was “worth the money”. However, it should be noted that Line 2 is quite popular so stops can be crowded during peak season. However, specific positive feedback about the quality of the train, food and service shows that Black Pearl is a trustworthy choice.

Compared to previous small wooden ships, Black Pearl's steel hull has extremely high compactness and stability, helping to significantly eliminate the feeling of shaking. However, if you are an extremely sensitive guest, I recommend that you take seasickness medicine about 30 minutes before boarding the boat. The staff on board also always has ginger tea or medicine available if you feel it is necessary.
Absolutely yes. Although the main buffet focuses on Halong seafood, the chef is always ready to prepare vegetarian dishes (Vegan/Vegetarian) or hypoallergenic menus if you notify at least 24 hours in advance. The sophistication of your taste is always our top priority.
Black Pearl is equipped with a satellite Wifi system, however, due to the unique terrain of Halong Bay with many towering limestone islands shielding it, the signal at some core areas (such as in caves or ravines) may be unstable. If you have an important meeting, take advantage of it while the ship is moving in open space or while anchored near the port.
A perfect "combo" for a day on the bay would include:
A swimsuit (bikini/swimming trunks) to enjoy the Jacuzzi.
Sneakers or flats with good grip for climbing Titov Island's more than 400 stone steps and cave walking.
Don't forget a maxi dress or silk shirt to take "virtual" photos on the Sundeck at sunset!
Normally, the tour price includes filtered water to welcome guests and sunset afternoon tea (Sunset Party). However, alcoholic drinks, cocktails at the 2nd floor bar, bottled soft drinks or wine during lunch will be charged separately. You can pay flexibly by cash, bank transfer or swipe card right on the boat before docking.
With modern design, the lobby and restaurant areas on the first floor are very spacious and convenient for wheelchairs and strollers. However, to move to the 2nd floor (Jacuzzi) or 3rd floor (Sundeck), you will need to use the stairs. Our staff is always ready to assist in lifting and lowering vehicles or helping guests to ensure that every family member has a complete experience.
To ensure service quality and food hygiene and safety, we encourage you to use a diverse menu of drinks at the Bar. In case you want to bring along special bottles of wine for an anniversary, the ship will apply a small "corkage fee" to assist in preparing glasses, ice and serving at the table.
