The Perfect Way to Experience the Gulf of Tonkin

Over the course of four days three nights, we had an absolutely flawless experience on the Au Co cruise. Every aspect of our Gulf of Tonkin journey was meticulously arranged, including the transportation, cabin accommodations, and daily activities. The bay's scenery is breathtaking, but the exceptional service really set this trip apart. The staff was genuinely friendly, attentive, and constantly anticipating our needs. A wonderfully smooth, relaxing, and memorable trip from beginning to end. An absolute must-do for anyone traveling to Vietnam.

An unforgettable experience at Halong Bay in 2026.

We had a fantastic two-day trip with Au Co Cruises to Ha Long Bay as part of our honeymoon. The itinerary was very well organized with fun activities and beautiful places to visit. The food was great, and all the staff were wonderful, especially Ruby, who was very cheerful, and Alex, the bartender, who was really lovely. Every crew member was friendly and attentive, always happy to help. We would highly recommend Au Co Cruises to anyone visiting Ha Long Bay because every detail was thoughtfully arranged. It truly made our honeymoon even more memorable.

The trip was truly memorable.

Our 3-day trip on Au Co 2 was absolutely incredible and even better than our first visit to Ha Long Bay. Everything from the food, activities, excursions, and service exceeded our expectations. The scenery was stunning, and the whole journey felt relaxing from start to finish. A special thank you to Tom, Khoi, Roman, Sandy, Lily, Nam (Whisky), and all the crew members for their warm and professional hospitality. We will definitely return again in the future!

An experience not to be missed.

A fantastic 2-night holiday on Ha Long Bay with Au Co Luxury Cruise and one of the highlights of our Vietnam trip. Although the weather was cooler than expected for February, the crew, accommodations, service, and tours more than made up for it. The food was delicious, the scenery was beautiful, and the activities were enjoyable throughout the journey. All the staff were friendly, attentive, and professional, making us feel comfortable and well taken care of. A truly memorable experience!

The experience was great.
Minh and his friend had a wonderful experience on the Au Co 2 cruise ship. The food was delicious, abundant, and varied. Viet Hai Village was incredibly beautiful, and the coconut water was amazing. All the staff were very enthusiastic, friendly, and professional, wholeheartedly helping us throughout the trip, especially Giang (Waayji), who left a very good impression on me. I am very satisfied with this experience. A truly memorable trip!

The beauty of the site breathtaking, the boat very comfortable, with a charming vintage side, delicious cuisine, kind and competent staff. We were able to visit the Sung Sot Cave, kayak in incredible places, with our guide John, full of humor and attention. We highly recommend.

Sinply the best company and landscape
We did the 1 night/2day cruise at Au Co and it was superb! Trust them. The food, itinerary, kindness, cleanliness, infrastructure, all were amazing! We were upgraded to the Halong Suit and we were static!! We just regret not have booked 2 nights. The landscape is mesmerizing, and I have seen some views, trust me! Our 6 year old loved every minute. Was our best sleep in Vietname so far!

Lovely boat trip in Halong Bay on AuCo1
We had a wonderful 2 days on AuCo1 after a busy start to our holiday in Hanoi, this is just what we needed. The boat is lovely and clean, good facilities, the staff were friendly and helpful. Tan was particularly helpful with going through the vegetarian options at lunch and, showing the menu for the evening. The food was excellent and there was plenty of choice. We enjoyed the excursion to Cat Ba island and rode bicycles to/from the village which was fun!

Cruising in style with The Au Co
The Auco boat is very beautiful and I believe we somehow had the best and biggest room, right at the front of the boat with a big private balcony and lovely furniture (ask for room 217). The shore excursion to Cat Ba island was super, make sure to pick the biking option, not too hard and a real highlight for us. Most of all the crew are truly superb. Food very good, nice Happy Hour and overall it looked like the best boat out there. Highly recommend the Bhaya boat line, and the Auco boat in particular.

Memorable Experience
Our stay on Auco 1 was absolutely wonderful. We stayed for just one night to celebrate our anniversary, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The staff beautifully decorated our room and surprised us during dinner with drinks and a bouquet, which made the evening extra special. All the activities were very well organized, and everything ran seamlessly. We would definitely recommend this cruise.

Honeymoon Tour
The staff were incredibly attentive, kind, and engaging throughout the trip. For our honeymoon we were welcomed with a bottle of rose & beautifully made bed in our suite. We especially liked going to Lan Ha Bay and the views from the speedboat to Cat Ba National Park. The number of days and nights were perfect and would recommend this cruise to anyone looking to see Halong Bay.

1 night boat cruise - a must do
My sister and I did the 2 day (1 night) au co boat cruise (on au co 1) and we had an amazing time! The staff were all so friendly and went completely above and beyond to make sure that everyone had a good time. This boat cruise we saw on the journey was definitely the nicest - great food, lovely room with a balcony and stunning sun deck.

A journey to remember
The 4-day Au Co cruise was the highlight of our Vietnam trip. Waking up in the middle of Halong Bay with misty limestone cliffs around us felt surreal. Every day brought a new adventure - from kayaking in hidden lagoons to visiting floating villages. The staff was incredibly warm and attentive. Big thank to Bhaya team.

An enriching experience
This wasn’t just a cruise - it was an enriching experience. We explored caves, swam in emerald waters, and cycled through peaceful island villages. The itinerary was perfectly paced, giving us time to explore without ever feeling rushed. A great way to see the quieter side of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long.

Unforgettable Team-Building Cruise
We organized a team-building trip with Bhaya Cruises and it exceeded all expectations! The staff were incredibly professional and helped plan engaging activities like kayaking and organize perfect gala dinner on sundeck. The scenery was stunning, the cabins were comfortable, and the food was excellent. Perfect mix of relaxation and bonding - highly recommend for corporate groups.

One of the highlights of our Vietnam Trip
The boat was lovely! The rooms were well appointed and very comfortable! The crew, lead by Harry, was incredibly attentive! We were not bored at any point and we were definitely well fed! If I were to do it again, the only thing I would change is to make the trip longer!

Experience not to be missed
Fantastic 2 Night stay on Halong Bay with Au Co - Luxury Cruise. One of the many highlights of our visit to Vietnam. Although the weather was cooler than expected for February, the crew, accommodations, service and included tours, more than made up for it. Definitely not to be missed if you in Northern Vietnam.

Great experience on an amazing cruise
The cruise is amazing! The boat is really nice and very well maintained and clean. All the excursions are really beautiful and you would have the possibility to visit wonderful caves, floating fisherman village and beaches. The staff is really kind, ready to answer to any doubts.

Simply Stunning!
There are a limited number of cabins aboard the Au Co 2 so the total number on board is easily manageable. Tom, the "Cruise" director was an excellent host. The staff, the cabin, the decks and the food were all great overshadowed only by the scenery. Several side trips were included in our short cruise.

Fantastic Luxury Cruise Through Halong Bay
We especially loved the nightly happy hour and off boat activities such as kayaking and bicycling on Cat Ba Island. The staff not only treated us as guests, but made us feel like we were a part of their family. If you have the opportunity definitely go on the Au Co Cruise!
