The Paradise Peak cruise Halong is the latest from the Paradise company and raises the bar for high-end cruising in Halong Bay. This is luxury cruising aimed at prestigious passengers. Smaller than many boats in the bay, it is able to offer supreme luxury in its eight magnificent cabins.
Built in the style of an old wooden junk, this thoroughly modern craft is about dark wood and opulent matching decor. Having so few cabins, the level of service and ratio of crew to passengers is unmatched. The cabins offer fantastic amenities including, large comfy beds, tables, flat screen TVs and a butler service.
All meals may be taken in the privacy of your own cabin, and massage service can be booked. The level of service from the kitchen and crew is unbelievable on Halong Paradise Peak cruise. Private dinners may be booked not just in your room, but up on the top deck, on private beaches and even in a cave, surely the romantic setting to beat all others.
As for Halong Bay itself, this is nature at her finest. In a global poll recently, it was voted as one of the “Seven Wonders of Nature” and has twice been recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The world’s best scenery can now be viewed in the world’s highest luxury.

Luxurious Paradise Peak Cruise
September 04, 2017
It was a marvelous experience staying at Halong Paradise Peak Cruise in Halong Bay, Vietnam. We went on a 2 day 1 night cruise. We were picked up on time in Hanoi and as soon as we boarded the cruise, we were provided with refreshing drinks. The staff is best. They are very friendly and attended us very well. You would feel pampered to the extreme. The most fabulous thing is you get a private butler. The cruise is very well maintained and has super spacious, furnished rooms. Our room provided excellent view. There is lounging area to sit and relax, listening to music. The activities planned by them were enjoyable. Don't forget to take total advantage of the services provided by them. The tours were well organized and our guides provided us great information from time to time. The food was very very delicious. You have a variety of cuisines to choose from. Another plus point of the cruise is that it doesn't get overcrowded even after being completely booked. So you get to sit on the deck and enjoy the view. You get to experience everything of Halong Bay. It is beautiful and the stay at Paradise Cruise makes it even more enjoyable. It was the best decision to go cruising with Halong Paradise Peak cruise since they made the experience extremely wonderful . A big thank you to the crew for that. I would highly recommend Paradise cruise for getting the best service and I will be certainly visiting again.
A magnificent way to see Halong Bay
May 16, 2017
I had wanted to visit Halong Bay for quite some time, ever since I saw the top gear episode of Vietnam! I made a vow that one day I would see it for myself. That day finally arrived and I was not disappointed in any way what so ever. We choose the Halong Paradise Peak cruise from the Halong Hub company, wanting a smaller more intimate setting. There were only 8 cabins on the boast and this afford us the luxury that we sought. The service was equal to a 5-star hotel, we even had a butler. Dining experiences were first rate and the excursion was informative and interesting. Vietnamese people must be the friendliest on earth, they talked to us everywhere we went. I highly recommend the venue and the company, top drawer!
Feel Royal on Paradise Peak Cruise
April 28, 2017
Cruising on Paradise Peak was one of the best experience I have ever had. Me and my friends stayed for two nights on the cruise. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. They treated us as if we were some royal family members. The crew defined professionalism. They attended to all our needs. And what more, you get a butler of your own. The cruise exceeded my expectations. Our rooms were the best. They were spacious and had a balcony which opened up to great view. The rooms had very comfortable bed and had a well maintained bathroom. They provided us food with traditional Vietnamese flavor which was so very delicious. The seafood was fresh and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the barbecue served on the deck. We had the option of dining in our room but we did not go for it. The facilities provided on board were great. We thoroughly enjoyed the spa treatments. The activities were super fun. We enjoyed the cooking class a lot and we were provided with traditional dresses during our stay. We were taken to different places around Halong Bay and the visit to the caves was incredible. At night we relaxed in the lounging area and spent some time on the deck. Me and my friends had the best time cruising on Paradise Peak, enjoying the scenic beauty of Halong Bay. If anybody is planning to visit Halong Bay then you must go. And I would suggest you to enjoy your time cruising on Paradise Peak to make it a memorable trip.
Sheer class

Most relaxing three days I can remember. Beautiful scenery matched by the sheer luxury and class of the boat. 5 star rating any day of the week.
Not long enough
December 21, 2016
I thought this cruise was excellent, though a bit too short to be honest. There is lots to see and do, but the boat was so fantastic that I would have preferred another couple of days, to get off the beaten track and just chill out. Sleeping on a boat, in such comfort was an unforgettable experience. If you're gonna do it though do it for an overnight trip!
Could not be better!

"I have wanted to go on a cruise for a long time and finally I decided to sail with Paradise Peak Cruise. This did not disappoint us, especially my wife loved each and every day of the trip. Once we arrived at the boat we were welcomed by champagne and lots of smiles. Every member of the staff was excellent, the room was very nice, and the location was perfect with a private balcony.
The guides did a wonderful job of informing us about places and games. The manager and staff of the boat were commended for the food, the atmosphere, and all of the surprises they had in store for all the passengers. The highlights of the trip were visiting the fishing village and the Taichi every morning.
We did hope this would be a trip of a lifetime and it exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!"
Once in a life time experience!

"I am so happy and grateful that we chose Paradise Peak cruise Halong as a part of our Vietnam tour last August. We would like to thank all the management team and their accommodating staff for the warm welcome and amazing experience. There was a rainy day but that didn't stop us from cruising and enjoying the beauty of Halong Bay. We even had personal cabin room attendant during our stay. Isn't it incredible?!?
The itinerary was smoothly gone by and the food was simply AWESOME! There was the only time that I had to say NO to the food offered on the table because I was too full to take another round. I will never dismiss from my mind this trip. Without a doubt, we had a great time.
Thank you Paradise Peak. Keep up the good work. Highly recommend!"
