Description

Bhaya has a large fleet of boats that cruise in Halong Bay and the Gulf of Tonkin. Whether you want a private experience or the opportunity to mingle with other guests, Bhaya offers 2-4-day itineraries to suit all preferences.

Bhaya Classic Premium is a new addition to the Bhaya fleet, offering a selection of 3-7 cabin cruise ships for a more intimate cruising experience. The large cabins can comfortably accommodate up to three adults, meaning each ship will have a maximum of 20 guests on board. Bhaya Premium is a smaller but by no means less luxurious alternative to the larger Bhaya boats that also offer multiple night cruises on the bay.
 
The cabins are decorated in traditional Oriental style, long favoured by shipbuilders in Northern Vietnam. The rich brown hardwood is lightened by paler accents and woven wall panels to ensure the rooms are still bright and airy, and each cabin comes with a private balcony to really make the most of the scenery. Connecting cabins are available, making this a perfect family option.
 
Meals are freshly prepared and served in the elegant bar and restaurant on the third deck. Most ingredients are locally sourced from Bhaya’s farms on Cat Ba Island, and wine-tasting can be enjoyed on board at the well-stocked bar.
 
Itineraries last between 2-4 days and the longer cruises will visit areas of Halong Bay beyond the usual reach of other cruise ships. Destinations can include Bai Tu Long Bay, Halong Bay, Cat Ba Island and the lesser known Lan Ha Bay, and during your cruise you will have the opportunity to visit caves and islands, cycle or kayak through the beautiful scenery, enjoy a traditional cooking class or even go squid fishing at night with the crew. For those just looking to unwind and enjoy the views, there is an onboard spa where you can indulge in a massage or join a Tai Chi class as the sun rises over the upper deck.

Accommodation

The air-conditioned cabins are all generously sized with wooden floors and traditional woven panels adorning the walls to create a light feel to the room. They have good sized en-suite bathrooms and can be configured as either twin or king beds. Some of the cabins can interconnect.  Each room comes with a small balcony, ideal for relaxing on as you take in the dramatic landscape.

Childcare

Children are welcome on board Bhaya Premium. Babysitters can be arranged with prior notice if parents would like some time out, and older kids will enjoy the fun cycling and kayaking activities. Interconnecting cabins are available, and all cabins can comfortably accommodate an extra bed or cot.

Facilities

All meals on board Bhaya Premium will be included, and the menus will differ from boat to boat depending on seasonality and which of the speciality chefs are on board. Much of the food is produced locally on Cat Ba Island, at Bhaya’s organic farms, or taken directly from the ocean. Dietary requirements can be easily catered for. The bar is fully stocked with international wines and spirits and is the perfect place for sundowners to mingle with other guests.  Special occasions can be celebrated with a private meal on a beach or in a grotto.

Activities

Bhaya Premium will stop at a selection of the main sights in the bay which depending on the length of the cruise can include Dau Go Cave, Cat Ba island and National Park, Bright and Dark Caves, fishing villages and lesser known areas such as Lan Ha Bay. Activities will include the option of cycling, kayaking, snorkelling at each location.
 
On board, facilities include a library and a spa for some quiet time between activities, but guests can also enjoy a cooking class, morning Tai Chi classes on the sundeck or even squid fishing at night with the crew.
