Why Bhaya
Bhaya is more than just a cruise, it is an experience. Everything from the natural beauty of the seascape in the Bay to the smallest attention to detail combine to make the Bhaya experience the ultimate in Halong Bay cruises.
More Cruising, Less Crowding
Unlike most Halong Bay cruises, all Bhaya cruise routes follow courses carefully plotted by our passionate experts. Such meticulous planning means our cruises last 2 hours longer than any other. This gives you more time to see and visit all the highlights of the Bay and cruise to less crowded areas as far away as Vung Vieng floating fishing village.
Value For Money
Bhaya cruises combine first-class accommodation and gourmet cuisine with fantastic excursions and activities at very attractive rates. For even greater convenience, Bhaya travel consultants can arrange your visa to Vietnam, airport transfers and hotels in Hanoi. All you need to do is to pack and prepare for a hassle-free trip. We take care of the details so you return home relaxed and enriched with wonderful memories.
Gourmet Cuisine in Sumptuous Splendor
Food is a Bhaya cruise treat. The Dining Room, on the 3rd level Lounge Deck, delivers both amazing dishes and vistas. The Chef's menus feature a variety of Vietnamese-Western fusion dishes to suite every palate: from a three-course gourmet dinner to sumptuous buffet combining Vietnamese specialties (Tu hài, Nem) with Western delicacies and seafood.
Warm Hospitality with Superior Service
Our experienced European management team have implemented ongoing, proprietary training programs for all staff to ensure we always provide levels of service you would expect from a fine hotel. Our Cruise Directors and almost all onboard staff speak English. The Staff are at your service around-the-clock to make your Halong Bay cruise an experience not to be forgotten.
Responsible Cruising
We are actively engaged in practicing and promoting sustainable cruising which minimizes the negative social and environmental impact on the local Halong Bay communities while delivering the maximum economic benefits possible. We are committed to using local suppliers from these communities and providing employment opportunities. We take Responsible Cruising seriously and trust our Guests will support us in these endeavors.
Cultural Enrichment
Our carefully chosen cruise routes are designed to offer not only the natural beauty of Halong Bay, but also opportunities to mingle with the locals and experience the local Vietnamese culture. Visits to Vung Vieng floating village, Vietnamese cooking demonstrations, Tai Chi exercises on the Sundeck and cycling on Cat Ba Island are just some of the cultural activities you can enjoy.
Comfortable Accommodation
Each Bhaya Classic vessel has just 20 cabins/suites to ensure intimate privacy and comfort for all guests. Each cabin boasts a picture window designed to frame the amazing vistas of the Bay. Hotel-style beds with European linen and duvets can be arranged in either twin or double-bed configurations. Home away from home!
