Cruise the world famous Ha Long Bay on board Jasmine, arguably one of the most elegant, classically junk-styled ships in Vietnamese waters. The understated gracious vessel features traditional wooden design invoking a bygone era of sailing aboard a classic Vietnamese junk. From atop the large sun deck, witness an extravagant panoramic view of the bay, as you relax beneath the three large, tawny sails which underline the ship’s stately sense of pride or discover the bays out of this world sights more intimately with daily excursions through limestone karst and ancient grottoes.
Jasmine Cruise
Jasmine cruises through the exotic tranquil waters of Ha Long Bay, located in Quang Ninh Province on the coast. The name Ha Long derives from ancient Vietnamese-Chinese, meaning “Descending Dragon.”. Ha Long Bay features a myriad of islands, islets and a spectacle of limestone karst that have spawned countless caves and grottoes throughout. Lit with an array of coloured lighting, the illuminated stalactites and stalagmites turn the interiors of theses caves into fantasy landscapes. Above the tranquil jade waters, countless towering pillars topped with lush vegetation emerge from the ocean, culminating in an enchanting and breath-taking scenery which define the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ha Long Bay.

Kayak through the myriad of treasures scattered throughout the bay in the form of islets and grottoes. Discover limestone karsts formed over 700,000 years ago, such as Tien Ong Cave or the mythically large cavern, Song Sot – meaning ‘Surprise Cave’. Encounter the historical Cua Van floating fishing village to gain insight into how, for several centuries, locals have founded a community on fishing and aquaculture.
Ti Top Island is one of a number of captivating beaches scattered amongst the islets. The bird’s eye view of the bay from atop Ti Top, merely a short hike from the Islands beach, provides an indescribable beauty, merely surpassed sights presented during the iconic blue hour, when the entire marine landscape is bathed in countless shades of blue.
