Perla Dawn Sails

Type: Sharing, 18 cabins
Vietnam
Perla Dawn Sails offers 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 known Halong Bay. Perla Dawn Sails devotes its traditional-style design to Vietnamese culture values including room, interior design and many small detailings decorated in different areas of the boat. The team at Perla Dawn Sails have made strong efforts to bring different cultural elements into boat decoration.
We welcome you on our cruise to immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery of Lan Ha Bay while experience luxury cruise service on a traditional ship, showing numerous features of Vietnamese culture. While other boats feed on modern and sophisticated designs and styles, Perla Dawn still maintains the original traditional styled designs with wooden specifics, which makes us like no other.
