Two nights in Halong Bay, with a full day spent away from the main cruise route, travelling deeper into the bay on a smaller boat.

Halong Bay

Indochine Premium Overnight Halong Bay Cruise

This one-night itinerary is structured to make the most of a short stay. From the moment the boat leaves Tuan Chau Port, you’re moving through the limestone formations that define Halong Bay, with stops built in so you’re not just watching from the deck. You’ll kayak or take a small sampan into a sheltered lagoon, walk through one of the bay’s largest cave systems, and spend the evening anchored among the islands. Accommodation is in a Junior Suite, which means a proper sense of space for an overnight stay, a private balcony, and large windows that keep the view with you even when you step back inside. On board, there’s a restaurant, bar, and sundeck, so you’re not limited to one central area as the cruise unfolds.

Halong Bay

Bhaya Soul Two-Night Cruise

This itinerary is designed around space and pace. With just 20 cabins on board Bhaya Soul, it never feels crowded, and the route moves through quieter areas of the bay, away from the busiest clusters of boats. You’ll still kayak, swim, and step ashore, but these moments are spaced out, giving you time in between to sit on deck, watch the scenery shift, and properly take in where you are. What sets this apart is the included wellness element. There are gentle morning sessions like Tai Chi or meditation, and a short spa treatment built into the experience, often something like a foot ritual or massage that fits naturally into the rhythm of the day. There’s also a small pool, a spa area, and plenty of space on deck, so it’s easy to find a quiet spot. Cabins all come with private balconies, so even time spent in your room stays connected to the view.

This one-night cruise takes you to the Trinh Nu area and the impressive Sung Sot Cave and includes a host of on-board experiences such as Tai Chi on the deck and the chance to create authentic Vietnamese cuisine.

Bhaya Cruise is committed to preserving the environment and supporting the local community with several initiatives. Bhaya Cruises is a vital supporter of the Save the Langur campaign to protect the endangered primates on Cat Ba Island by selling merchandise onboard to support the campaign. There is a zero single-use plastic policy on board, and every year, staff participate in an annual clean-up event to remove waste around the bay. Bhaya Cruises also works with Viet Hai villagers and Cat Ba Island authorities to support the livelihood development of local people and encourage passengers of Bhaya Cruises to enjoy organic vegetables and fruits produced by Viet Hai farmers.
