Halong Carina Cruise
About Cruise
Carina Cruise benefits from being one of the more intimate junks. With 9 luxury en-suite cabins, and manned by a young and experienced crew, the cruise caters for small groups, couples, and individuals.
Our cozier atmosphere provides a more personalized service compared to most other cruises in Halong. Hence, Carina’s generous size means that you won’t feel cramped. The space of the cruise is large enough for you to have a private atmosphere but small enough to not feel loneliness. We believe that it is our greatest advantage. The cruise gives you access to other corners of the bay which are less populated and pristine, helping you to feel you are not in a tourist trap constantly surrounded by loads of other junks.
