Perla Dawn Sails offer an off-the-beaten-path cruise experience to Lan Ha Bay, the southern part of Halong Bay, where the scenic landscape has no difference with its better know Halong Bay.

Unique Experience
With an elegant “restaurant and bar” for an exclusive dining experience, the boat’s top deck serves as an unparalleled spot to appreciate dinner under the lights of thousands of stars while surrounded by the incredible panoramic view of Lan Ha Bay and its islands. Light balls and twinkling candlelight in the dining area provide an intimate setting for a romantic dinner with a loved one or with newfound friends, or just a place to relax with a glass of wine to celebrate this stunning, beautiful bay.
In addition to the magnificent and amazing views, you will also be served with superbly prepared, wonderfully tasty dinners and an accompanying musical performance. You just go on up to the top deck, sit down with a refreshing drink, and treat yourself to a unique dining experience in the best restaurant on the boat. The Perla Dawn’s staff does a great job preparing your food which can be tailored to your personal needs. Get your camera and your stomach ready because there will be many photos to take and much delicious food you cannot resist.

Beyond our expectations
September 30, 2018
We had a great tour around Ha Long Bay on the Perla Dawn Sails (recommended by Ha Long Hub - thank you for that, by the way). We truly enjoying the classic Indochina decor, of which the rooms were very comfy. The food was great and the staffs (specially mentioned Harry and Kenny) were very helpful. We also loved bicycle riding, kayaking and swimming. Of course not to forget the live performance of Vietnamese traditional music on deck at night. Very impressive. We would highly recommend this cruise.
Exceptional cruise

Relax trip
August 30, 2018
We spent two days and one night. The staff is excellent, they are very attentive to customers. Also here, as in the rest of Vietnam, cages reserved special treatment for me who was pregnant. Excellent cleaning. From Hanoi, the boarding took about 2.5 hours but with a really comfortable limo. The activities are mainly two excursions one in the evening on arrival one the next morning by kayak. The price includes all meals served onboard during the excursion. In short, very satisfied, for the landscape and the climate that you breathe; a little less for the sea that leaves much to be desired.
Great experience!

Amazing landscape, beautiful boat, super helpful staff
August 23, 2018
Apart from the extraordinary landscape (but the same for all boats), a very professional organization, a freshly launched boat of great quality (the Junior Suite room is great, do not hesitate to take it ...), of proper size (about 15 rooms). The staff is very attentive. Amazing.
To recommend

I was in Hanoi and used Perla Dawn Sails to enjoy Halong Bay. I went with my colleagues, and I was satisfied because the cruise was clean and the food was delicious. Especially staffs were kind and enthusiastic for our customers. I recommend it.
