The Au Co Cruise

The Au Co Cruise brought an exclusive continuous three-day journey encompassing the breadth of the world-renowned Halong Bay, as well as less-crowded destinations of the neighboring Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and beyond.

Unlike more common three-day two-night cruises which use transfer boats, guests will remain on the same Au Co for the entire trip to have the best Halong Bay experience.

The Au Co Cruise Halong Bay - Lan Ha Bay Voyage

With a capacity of 32 cabins, the Au Co is a powerhouse that can carry a large group of passengers who would like to discover the inner beauty of Halong Bay.

Graceful and sophisticated in every detail, The Au Co Cruise promises to offer our passengers a true sense of Vietnamese culture and beyond. This is reflected in every subtle detail of interior design, the decoration, onboard activities, the delicate menu, and the exclusive destinations designed on the route.
