Halong Bay Port Of Call 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, and 2025

Last updated on
December 18, 2023

Are you currently on a sea adventure to explore the world? If so, why not take advantage of your spare time to discover the legendary Halong Bay? This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a masterpiece sculpted by Mother Nature, waiting to be explored by you.

Our team has extensive experience in serving passengers from renowned cruise lines such as Silversea Cruises and Windstar Cruises. As the pioneer company to offer overnight Halong Bay cruises and the largest operator in the Bay, Bhaya Group is honored to be your host.

Our Signature Cruises

Bhaya Group offers two cruise lines with distinctive features and styles to match your needs.

Bhaya Legend Cruise

The exclusive itinerary with charter and sharing services set Bhaya Legend Cruise apart from any other cruises in Halong Bay, making it the best choice for your excursion in this World Heritage Site.

With a capacity of 2 to 10 passengers, the junk and the whole crew are reserved especially for you. This allows maximum flexibility in your cruise schedule and eliminates any waiting time there might be in between. A private butler to guarantee guests the utmost comfort and a stress-free vacation.

As a boutique-style vessel, inspired by traditional Vietnamese junk, Bhaya Legend Cruise was made of natural materials like local wood, bamboo, and ceramics. The interior design with elegant oriental carvings and handmade decor details delivers a hint of mystic Oriental charm.

For an overnight stay, you can book your cruise directly via our official website at www.legendhalong.com

For day-cruise or special requests, please contact us via email at sales@legendhalong.com

Bhaya Classic Cruise

The junk is made in a classic style with a touch of quintessential Vietnamese spirit while incorporating modern facilities for passenger comfort.

Each boat features 15 to 20 cabins which are the ideal size to accommodate a group of passengers but at the same time secure privacy and personal space.

Bhaya Classic Cruise provides you with two options of 2 2-day 1 1-night and 3-day 2-night cruise which takes you to discover the hidden limestones and traditional floating village etc.

Please note that Bhaya Classic Cruise runs a fixed schedule that starts at around 12:30 a.m. Therefore, you might need to consider the disembark time from your ocean cruise ship. Our staff will assist you in matching the schedule and reducing wait time if there is any.

For the overnight stay, you can book your cruise directly via our official website at www.bhayacruises.com

For day-cruise or special requests, please contact us via email at sales@bhayacruises.com

More about Bhaya Classic Cruise

The Au Co Cruise

The Au Co Cruise brought an exclusive continuous three-day journey encompassing the breadth of the world-renowned Halong Bay, as well as less-crowded destinations of the neighboring Bai Tu Long Bay, Lan Ha Bay, and beyond.

Unlike more common three-day two-night cruises which use transfer boats, guests will remain on the same Au Co for the entire trip to have the best Halong Bay experience.

With a capacity of 32 cabins, the Au Co is a powerhouse that can carry a large group of passengers who would like to discover the inner beauty of Halong Bay.

Graceful and sophisticated in every detail, The Au Co Cruise promises to offer our passengers a true sense of Vietnamese culture and beyond. This is reflected in every subtle detail of interior design, the decoration, onboard activities, the delicate menu, and the exclusive destinations designed on the route.

Your Permit to Enter the Mainland

All foreigners are required to attain visas to enter the mainland of Vietnam. However, if you are a passport holder of one of these countries, you will only need to get the Certificate of Visa Exemption. There are 02 ways to legally enter Vietnam mainland:

(1): If you directly apply for the permit, please contact Bhaya Cruises so we can advise you on the steps to complete the documents upon your arrival at Halong Bay.

(2): If you apply via your cruise bringing you to Halong Bay, it will be less complicated as you might have all the documents needed in your hands.

We highly recommend working closely with your cruise operator if you plan to visit Halong Bay.

Your Registration Status

When leaving a cruise ship, it’s necessary to register with local authorities for permission to stay in Halong Bay.

A: If you are already registered, get prepared to embark Bhaya Cruise,

If you haven’t registered yet, don’t worry! The Bhaya team will assist you with the necessary paperwork. All you need to do is provide us with your information, including your passport number and cruise ship details. We will go over the specifics with you once you book your cruise with us.

Pick-up Points

When you disembark the cruise ship, Bhaya Cruise will pick you up at four different locations.

Van Hai Port is located in Bai Chay Ward of Halong City, just a 4-minute drive from Bai Chay Bridge and directly across from Wyndham Legend Halong.

Cai Lan Port is located on Highway 18, Halong City, and it’s expanding to become one of Vietnam’s largest ports.

Vinashin Port is located in No.6A, Le Thanh Tong Street, Hon Gai Ward, Halong City

Transfer Options

Bhaya Group offers both roadway and waterway pickup options at two ports.

Please be aware that there is an extra charge for the shuttle bus service.

If any of the passengers are interested in visiting Hanoi and have the time, we can provide a shuttle bus or a private car for their convenience. Please note that the transfer may or may not be included, depending on how the cruise was booked.
