Overview of Au Co Cruise
A Refined Odyssey Through Halong Bay and Beyond
Embark on a truly elevated journey across Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and Lan Ha Bay aboard the Au Co Cruise—one of the most luxurious and spacious vessels sailing Vietnam’s northeast coast. Part of the prestigious Bhaya Group, Au Co Cruise seamlessly blends traditional Vietnamese aesthetics with the sophisticated elegance of a modern boutique resort, creating an experience that is both intimate and expansive.
Launched with the ambition of offering the finest three-day cruise experience in the Gulf of Tonkin, Au Co sets itself apart by exploring all three bays over a longer route. With just 32 staterooms on a 55-meter steel vessel, guests enjoy world-class comfort and safety while discovering remote coves, hidden beaches, and floating fishing villages few other cruises reach.
Elegance at Sea: A Ship Designed to Impress
The Au Co offers a harmonious balance between luxury and Vietnamese cultural richness. Hardwood interiors, lotus motifs, lacquered panels, and hand-crafted furnishings enrich the onboard ambiance with a strong sense of place. Spacious decks provide uninterrupted views of limestone karsts, and the stylish restaurant and open-air Jacuzzi are ideal for relaxation and social moments.
Every detail on board is curated with sophistication and authenticity—from spa and wellness services to locally inspired menus using fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from the region.
The Au Co Experience: Immersive, Authentic, and Sustainable
Unlike many other Halong Bay cruises that focus on just one bay and operate on a standard overnight itinerary, Au Co Cruise offers a longer and more comprehensive voyage that includes stops in all three major bays: Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and Bai Tu Long Bay. Guests enjoy kayaking through hidden lagoons, biking on Cat Ba Island, visiting secluded caves, and learning about traditional crafts in floating villages.
Moreover, Au Co Cruise is proud to lead in sustainability. It was the first in the region to implement advanced waste treatment systems and partner with local conservation groups to protect the marine ecosystem.
