To start planning your vacation to Bhaya Au Co
Description
Bhaya Au Co is arguably the most luxurious of Bhaya’s fleet, specializing in two-night cruises to more far-flung and less densely touristed areas of the bay.
The Bhaya Au Co is a luxurious 30 cabin steel cruise ship specializing in three-day tours of the famous Halong Bay. With a range of fabulous facilities, attentive staff and exciting activities taking you to the most remote areas of the bay that are usually out of the reach of most traditional cruise ships, Bhaya Au Co is guaranteed to take you on an unforgettable journey.
The cabins on this ship are spacious and elegantly designed in traditional Vietnamese style, with exposed wood and hand-crafted furniture. Sip a coffee on your private balcony or sink onto your welcoming day bed as the scenery slips by.
Au Co boasts an on-board spa and open air jacuzzi, well-appointed library, dining room and sundeck, and activities include visiting local fishing villages, visiting caves and deserted islands, cooking classes, wine tasting and early morning tai chi on the top deck.
The restaurant is particularly renowned, serving organic food grown locally at Bhaya’s farms on Cat Ba island or unsurprisingly sourced directly from the sea, and the talented chefs all specialize in creating innovative dishes to suit all palates.
A proud addition to one of Halong Bay’s leading cruise lines, Bhaya Au Co is the pioneer of luxury cruising in Vietnam, and the polish and sophistication of her service will add a touch of old world glamour to any itinerary.

Facilities
The Bhaya Au Co has everything on board that you’d expect from a luxury hotel. Why not relax with a cup of coffee in the library, unwind in the spa or soak up the views from the open air jacuzzi before indulging in a delicious meal in the waterside restaurant, prepared by one of the fleet’s specialty chefs.
Meals can be prepared how you like them, when you like them and served where you like- a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach or a picnic in the jungle, just speak to your crew who will be able to organize everything. A BBQ on the sundeck is also not to be missed.
Activities
Settle into a gentle cruise through Halong Bay stopping off at an exciting array of caves and islands in Vietnam’s most famous bay. On Bhaya Au Co’s signature longer itineraries you can explore further afield, heading out to mountainous Cat Ba Island and the lesser known Bai Tu Long Bay, visiting local floating villages en route. Activities also include cycling, snorkeling, swimming and fishing.
Location & directions
Halong Bay, Vietnam
170 kilometers north east of Hanoi, Halong Bay is easily one of its most iconic locations. With dramatic limestone karsts erupting from the calm water, it’s easy to see why Halong Bay was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status.
