Bhaya Classic Premium Cruise

12.00 We will meet at Tuan Chau harbour at midday, sipping on a welcome drink as we board the Bhaya Classic Premium.

13.00 We begin cruising southwest, to the heart of Halong Bay, doing so while sitting down for lunch and watching the stunning scene of limestone mountains scroll by the window.

15.00 Relax into your cruise on the way to Tien Ong Cave. Once we arrive, we will explore the ancient site and marvel at the various rock formations. This cave is the location of some of Halong Bay’s earliest inhabitants.

17.00 Returning to the Bhaya Classic Premium, we refresh for the sunset party on the top deck as the sun falls beyond the horizon.

17.30 Watch our chef’s masterful demonstration of how to carve flowers out of fruits, before having a go yourself and competing for the top prize in our ‘Masterchef Competition’.

19.00 There will be a beautiful dinner served in our gleaming dining room.

21.00 Feel free to indulge cocktails at the bar after dinner; alternatively, we have board games, card games and squid fishing with the crew, surely a new experience for most guests on board.

06.15 Watch the magic begin in Halong Bay from the top deck, the best location to watch the sunrise and the only location to engage in our invigorating Tai Chi class.

07.00 We pull up anchor and set sail for Cua Van Fishing Village, one of the handful of colourful floating villages dotted around Halong Bay and its sister bays. A light breakfast will be laid out as we sail over.

07.45 We enter the waters around Cua Van Fishing Village in either a kayak or a sampan boat rowed by a local. Take in the views of the tiny commune amid the peaceful background of Halong Bay’s limestone karsts dressed in their new morning light.

09.00 A full brunch in the dining room will be laid out as we begin sailing back to Tuan Chau Harbour. Get the last of your photos of Halong Bay’s famous islets from the sundeck en route.

10.30 Our crew will wave you off the Bhaya Classic Premium at Tuan Chau Harbour. Our most gracious thanks for joining us for this 1-night tour of Halong Bay Bhaya Classic Premium Cruise. We sincerely hope to see you again in the future.

07.30 - 08.30 Your driver will meet you and take you from your hotel lobby in Hanoi to Halong Bay (Book your transfer in the next step).

15.00 We will pull up to one of the finest caves in Halong Bay; the Tien Ong Cave; a huge system of dramatic stalactites and stalagmites illuminated in colourful lights.

17.00 After a few hours at the cave, we return to the Bhaya Classic Premium Cruise ship in time for happy hour. We will have a cooking demonstration to show you how to make traditional Vietnamese food out in the open, also featuring our Master Chef Competition where the best fruit carver will win special prizes! We will drop anchor in the Ho Dong Tien area for the night, quite possibly the best place to stay in Halong Bay.

19.00 Savour your second luxury meal on board as your guide explains the itinerary for tomorrow. Take the rest of the evening at your own pace, maybe relax with a book or join the crew for a bit of squid fishing before you head to your cabin for the night.
