Prince Private Cruise
Prince is a private boutique junk from Indochina Junk, modeled after Halong Bay's classic fishing vessels but on a smaller scale with just 04 cabins. The fleet's Prince II and Prince III share the same layout, accommodating couples or groups of up to 8. With indoor and outdoor dining areas and a rooftop sundeck, it sails the quiet Bai Tu Long Bay to Thien Canh Son Cave, Hon Co Island and Vung Vieng village - available as a per-cabin sharing trip or an exclusive private charter.
Scored by our Halong cruise team, who spend their season on these waters. We rate each boat the way a returning guest would - cabins, dining, crew, itinerary and value - not the way a listing does.
Prince is a small four-cabin boutique junk that trades ballroom amenities for something rarer - the calm, less-visited Bai Tu Long Bay, where you drift to Thien Canh Son Cave, kayak off Hon Co Island and row into Vung Vieng fishing village. Book it per-cabin for a couple or take the whole boat for up to eight, which is where it shines as a private family charter. Just know the Deluxe cabins are genuinely compact at 10m2 with no room for an extra bed, there is only one cabin category, and access is by stairs with no lift, spa or pool onboard. Prices here are indicative, so confirm before you commit.

The Deluxe cabins are compact (10m²) and can't take an extra bed, but Prince is a private boutique junk - you're really booking a small boat for up to 8, so most of your time is on the open dining deck and rooftop sundeck
Sharing (from US$420/cabin) means you join other couples on the boat; a private charter (US$1118 for 2D1N) gives you exclusive use of all 4 cabins with flexible routing - ideal for a family or group of up to 8
