The six-deck Grand Pioneers 2, 100 meters long, designed and made in Vietnam, is the largest yacht in the bay. Its 55 luxury cabins can accommodate 160 overnight passengers, 320 sightseeing guests and a crew of 90.
During the three day and two night tour, visitors will explore famous tourist attractions in Ha Long Bay, including Cho Da, Ga Choi islets, Thien Canh Son cave, Da Xep park, Vung Vieng fishing village, and go kayaking.
David Turnbull, a visitor from Sydney, Australia, said “The boat is magnificent and very new and the service from the staff is amazing. Everyone is friendly. The design is fantastic and it is also not too big, not too small. There is enough space to sit and enough bedrooms. It is beautiful, the best boat on the bay."
"This is a beautiful cave. I studied caves at the university. We also have caves like this in Australia but this has got the best access. You can get close to everything here. You can see the stalactites up there and stalagmites at the bottom as well. So, being close to the caves is very unusual. It’s beautiful and easy to access.”
