Best Honeymoon ever!

We spent one night on the Bhaya Classic cruise on the second day of our honeymoon! After a hectic few weeks finalizing the wedding and then travelling from the UK this was a well earned retreat! For the moment we arrived onboard, scattered with rose petals and a refreshment towel and iced tea, we felt completely at home. Well worth doing if visiting Hanoi and you want a break from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Wedding in the most beautiful place on earth

We had the absolute best time with Bhaya cruises on our 2-night, 3-day trip in ha long bay to celebrate our elopement. The crew are incredibly professional and welcoming, the food is amazing and the boat is beautiful with great amenities (and very clean). Highly, highly, highly recommend! Thank you to the team for everything :) this is a trip we will never forget and can’t wait to go back!

Dena M

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!

Fernanda V

Fantastic experience

We were made so very welcome right from the start. The Staff, the beautiful En-suite cabin, the food and the boat in general were absolutely brilliant. We also made some lovely friends on board. The whole experience was far greater than we expected when we booked, so a very big thank you to all the team involved!

Nigel G

Best overnight Halong Bay cruise

We loved our Ha Long Bay Bhaya Cruise. The scenery is gorgeous. We kayaked around a floating fishing village. We explored a cave. We spent the two days with delightful couples from around the world. The best part of the cruise was our Cruise Leader, Chris. We had so much fun. The food was delicious as well.

Three nice days on Halong Bay

The local guide/tour director Thuy was great — he had a sense of humor and made sure that everyone had a good time. The ships food was outstanding and the various day trips were well worth the time. Even for those that needed additional help the local crew made sure they got the assistance they needed.

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.

Wonderful overnight cruise in HaLong Bay

Excellent food and fun time on Bhaya Classic boat. Minnie made the cooking class and the evening fun. Highly recommend. Wish we had gone to the fishing village instead of the cave but it was interesting nonetheless.

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.

Matteo B

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.

AlfK60

Outstanding cruise, amazing views, service and ambience

Absolutely Fabulous. Amazing service, views, atmosphere and accommodation. A great balance of tours and relaxation. Food was delicious and plenty of it. Thoroughly recommend this cruise and in particular the 2 nights/ 3 days. Big thank to Bhaya Cruise's Team.

Halong Bay UNESCO experience

We did a cruise with Bhaya in Halong Bay for 2 nights, and it was a wonderful UNESCO experience. All the staff were very friendly and very helpful. Food and cabins were great. Alex the barman was exceptional and very informative and friendly. We just wish we could have stayed longer.

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!
