Bhaya Cruises
Dock: Tuan Chau Port, Halong Bay
Overview
1. Bhaya Classic Cruises
The Bhaya Classic fleet consists of wooden boats crafted in the traditional oriental style, long favored by master shipbuilders of the region. This timeless design, combined with natural materials, creates a distinctive charm rarely found on modern cruise vessels.
Onboard, guests are welcomed into atmospheric spaces inspired by heritage aesthetics, blending the warmth of hardwood browns with crisp white, turquoise, and red accents. The intimate scale of the boats fosters a cozy, social atmosphere, making each journey both relaxing and engaging. With elegant wooden furnishings and a design that harmonizes with the stunning landscapes, a Bhaya Classic cruise feels like a natural extension of Halong Bay itself.
2. Bhaya Legend Cruises
Launched in April 2015, the Bhaya Legend Line offers a boutique cruising experience with an emphasis on privacy and exclusivity. Maintaining the same oriental-inspired design as the Classic line, these smaller vessels feature just 3 to 7 spacious cabins, each accommodating up to three adults in full comfort.
Perfect for families, couples, or small groups, the Legend Line delivers a personalized journey through Halong Bay’s breathtaking seascapes. With fewer guests onboard, you’ll enjoy a more intimate and tailored experience, where every detail is crafted to enhance your appreciation of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
