Halong Bay, on a boat made for two
Travel agents who book a fleet of five heritage-style Life Resort sailing junks on Vietnam’s Halong Bay will get a sixth boat for free until September 30.
If an agent books 10 boats, the 11th and 12th boats are free.
Life Resorts’ heritage junks are private floating hotel rooms, each carrying a maximum of two guests on a bespoke itinerary within the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Each 15-metre junk has a fully furnished 32-sqm cabin with panoramic windows, en suite bathroom, swim deck, covered separate lounge area, and upper sun deck.
"Since launching last year, we’ve found that groups of travellers are especially drawn to a fleet of boats designed for couples," said Chris Duffy general director of the Life Resorts Management Company.
"You get the best of both worlds: All the privacy you want when you want it, and the company of the fleet when it’s time for society."
When booking a fleet of five or more boats, the Life Resorts vessels cost US$330 per night, including a group barbecue meal.
For all overnight cruise bookings between now and September 30, Life Resorts is cutting contract rates by 25% on all FIT bookings.
