Nearly two years in the making, the Dragon's Pearl is designed with sophistication and the utmost attention to fine detail. Whether you're dining in the restaurant, lounging on the sun deck or relaxing in the comfort of your cabin, you'll be surrounded by the handcrafted woodwork of Teak and Oak which make the Dragon's Pearl a true masterpiece!

With 18 fully equipped cabins, a fine dining restaurant and bar, 2 outdoor dining and lounging areas, a tanning deck, a swim platform, and a host of activities, The Dragon's Pearl truly is a dream escape. Working alongside our experienced Captain and his Sailors, a service crew of ten is at its best to assist you and ensure you have a relaxing and unforgettable experience.

From all of us at Tropical Sails, we look forward to seeing you aboard the Dragon's Pearl
In 2003 we introduced to our Halong Bay Cruises the Dragon’s Pearl Junk. From the first moment you step aboard the Dragon's Pearl, you'll be inspired by the distinctive style and fine craftsmanship of this magnificent Chinese Sailing Junk. The warm, welcoming smiles of our friendly crew and a complementary drink in our Lounge will set the mood as you embark on your voyage into the Bay of the Descending Dragon.
As you enter the Dragon's Pearl you come to the reception counter on the first of the two lower decks, which have a total of 18 twin/double fully equipped cabins. Each 9m2, air-conditioned cabin boasts its own bathroom with hot water shower, a closet and night table. In each cabin you enjoy the elegant design of the fine woodwork that is evident throughout. For your convenience, there are also 3 shared bathrooms onboard including on the dining deck.
On the 3rd floor you'll find the elegant dining room and bar, exquisitely designed with handcrafted Teak and Oak.
This spacious area has 36 seats and is perfect for either a romantic dinner for two or family dining. To the rear of the deck is a cozy, covered lounging/dining area where you can enjoy the stunning views of Halong Bay through the elegant archways. On the forward deck is the captain's wheel house and a large outdoor lounging area, perfect for taking in the views while enjoying a refreshing drink or just sitting back with your favorite book.
On top is the spacious, 150 square meter tanning deck with 15 comfortable lounge chairs for you to laze away in. 8 meters above the water, you'll have a panoramic view of the limestone karsts towering from the emerald waters of Halong Bay.
To ensure your safety and peace of mind, the Dragon's Pearl is fully equipped with all the necessary equipment to meet today's safety standards. Onboard there are 80 life vests, 40 life buoys and 4 lifeboats. In case of fire, the boat is equipped with 4 firefighter water hoses and 14 public fire extinguishers. We are also equipped with a GPS system, VHF radio, and an automated alarm system with 27 speakers throughout.
Those who visit Ha Long Bay are rarely left untouched by the power and beauty of the site. However, if you come to Ha Long and don't take the opportunity to closely explore this marvel, you may miss some of the unique sites that give the bay it's legend. The Bay is truly a natural wonder with over 3000 islands and endless limestone grottos to explore. As an add-on to your stay on the Dragon's Pearl, sea kayaking is not only a healthy and rewarding adventure, it is an incredible way to closely explore caves, lagoons, beaches, paddle up and visit fishermen in their woven bamboo boats.
