Experience the allure of Bai Tho Junks — where every journey is a celebration of Vietnam’s timeless beauty.
From Humble Beginnings in 1991
The name “Bai Tho” is more than just a title; it symbolizes the beauty of Vietnam’s culture and nature. In Vietnamese culture, poetry holds a special place, expressing the emotions and profound values of its people. “Bai Tho” evokes memories of romantic verses and stories of love for the homeland, nature, and stunning landscapes. With this name, we aim to convey that every journey on our cruise is not just a trip but a work of art where nature and culture intertwine.
Since its inception in 1991, Bai Tho Junks has embarked on a journey to help travelers discover the breathtaking beauty of Halong Bay aboard small wooden vessels. These traditional junk boats are not merely modes of transportation; they serve as a bridge connecting guests to the majestic scenery of the bay, where limestone islands, crystal-clear waters, and vast skies create a stunning natural masterpiece.
Hundreds of thousands of visitors have had the opportunity to admire the grandeur of the bay, where our wooden boats with their distinctive brown sails have become an integral part of the landscape. Each journey on Bai Tho Junks evokes deep emotions, like a living poem written from the beauty of Halong Bay, linking travelers with the culture and history of this remarkable region.
Pioneering the Halong Bay Cruise Experience
Bai Tho Junks has established itself as a pioneer in the Halong Bay cruise industry. Starting with simple wooden boats, we provide guests with an authentic experience of Vietnamese culture amidst the breathtaking beauty of the bay.
Over the years, Bai Tho has evolved, introducing modern steel vessels while retaining traditional elements with our signature brown sails. A significant milestone in this journey was the launch of our first overnight cruise ships, the Victory Star with 32 cabins and the Victory Cruise with 21 cabins. These voyages not only offer luxurious experiences but also create unforgettable moments in nature.

We are proud to introduce our sub-brands:

Looking Ahead — The New Chapter
We are dedicated to sustainable development, green tourism, and providing rich cultural experiences. Bai Tho Junks is proud to be the first and only company in Halong Bay to own vessels powered by biodiesel, also known as green diesel. This fuel, primarily made from vegetable oil, can replace traditional diesel, helping to minimize negative environmental impacts with lower greenhouse gas emissions. With a commitment to the community and the environment, Bai Tho Junks strives to contribute to society and protect nature, promoting sustainable tourism in Halong Bay.
Aime’e Cruises is not just a continuation of our 30-year legacy; it symbolizes innovation and a commitment to service quality. With its modern design and luxurious amenities, Aime’e offers guests unique and memorable experiences.
