About Paloma Cruise
Paloma Cruise is a Halong Bay mid-range cruise founded in 2010 by Mr. Nguyen Manh Thuc. The ship is designed with an elegant look and excellent service to meet tourists' high standards. The name "Paloma" means Dove in Spanish. As its name indicates, it has been working for more than ten years with the slogan to bring love, peace, and happiness to all customers.
The rustic touch of the traditional boat is what amazes all visitors. You will be astonished by the classic design and wooden details here. The cruise features 20 fully-equipped cabins with big windows and a large sundeck, guaranteeing you can capture the stunning view from every angle. With the priority of safety during the visitors' stay, this Halong Bay junk boat is built with new shipbuilding technology with a 100 percent composite hull shell and drainage tank.
A total of 30 dynamic and enthusiastic crews are well-trained to give you the most comfortable service and the highest satisfaction. The cruise route is meticulously planned, allowing you more time to enjoy the highlights of the attractions in Bai Tu Long.
Note: Paloma Cruise is temporarily closed for renovation.

Service & Activities
There are two different itineraries for you to choose from. You can go for the Bai Tu Long Bay Cruise two-day-one-night itinerary, which allows you to explore Bai Tu Long Bay, Vung Vieng floating village, Cong Dam area, and Thien Canh Son cave. If you want to engage in more activities, take the longer one - Paloma Cruise three-day-two-night itinerary. There are a lot of activities you can participate in during your overnight stay on the Paloma cruise.
- Swimming: The boat will anchor, and you can safely swim under the shimmering clear water.
- Kayaking & bamboo rowing boat: It's a big mistake if you don't challenge yourself with these two interesting activities. You will have a chance to explore the beauty of limestone mountains and caves.
- Cooking demonstrations: A great experience to join the cooking show with the chef to see how the food is cooked and taste the results.
- Morning Taichi: Doing slow-mo muscle arts on the sundeck in the early morning will refresh you.
- Sunset party: Don't miss your chance to enjoy snacks while witnessing the gorgeous sunset.
- Cuttle fishing: Wanna have an unforgettable experience, you'd better go cuttle fishing with the staff in the evening.
Food & Drink
Prepare yourself for some mouth-watering Vietnamese food and seafood, combined with Western delicacies. The sumptuous buffet breakfast and gourmet dinner will be served to you with a variety of dishes from all over the world and carefully chosen fresh ingredients. You will love the blend of European and Asian cuisine that is brought to you. Notify the crew if you have any allergies to the food. Non-meat eaters feel free to enjoy the meal as Vietnamese vegetarian food is served.
Getting on the cruise, travelers will receive welcome drinks, daily 02 bottles of water in the room, and daily fresh fruits in the restaurant. In addition, extra drinks are available in the bar.

We had an amazing honeymoon with the Paloma cruise. The crew arranged a pretty cake for us. You must visit Halong for the best nature.
Paloma cruise was a lot of fun and the staff were all very friendly and professional. I loved the spectacular views of Halong Bay. You would absolutely love the local cuisine and meals onboard. That's amazing!
I took an overnight Halong cruise last week and was really impressed by the scenery. The first time I saw this wonderful bay, I admired it. The cruise staff and services were both great. Thank for BestPrice's suggestion!
I loved the stay on board. Really. The traditional and cozy feelings. Just wanna say thank you and send the best wishes for safety to BestPrice and Paloma.
I spent last weekend on a 2-day cruise with Paloma. It was a lovely junk boat and the crews were pleasant. I loved the activities on and off-board in Bai Tu Long Bay. The weather in April was sunny and still cool. Highly recommend!
