Operated since 2011, Paradise Sails vessels contain 17 boutique cabins with a classic wooden interior (06 window cabins, 07 balcony cabin, 02 Paradise Suite and 02 Terrace Suite), a cozy and sophisticated dining room, and an expansive sundeck exhibiting the best views of Ha Long Bay twinned with relaxing places in which to unwind.

Highlights

Free round trip transfer Hanoi – Ha Long Bay by share limousine van (until 31st December 2019).
Free letter for visa on arrival * (stamp fee is not included).

(*) Vietnam Visa on Arrival (VOA) is quite different from the normal “on Arrival” concept.

Later, at the airport this letter must be showed together with your valid passport to get the Visa stamped.
