Overview
After nearly 2 decades of conquering tourists with exquisite Halong Bay Cruises, Bhaya Cruises continues to open a new chapter with the launch of Bhaya Soul Cruise in 2025. This is the fourth generation in the Bhaya family, inheriting the success of previous ships and elevating the experience to a new level: luxurious but tranquil, where tourists find the balance between nature and soul.
Bhaya Soul Cruise is designed as a true Halong Bay Luxury Cruise. Inspired by Asian art and the nostalgic beauty of Indochina postcards, every detail on the ship evokes a sense of sophistication and peace. On the Bhaya Soul Cruise, luxury is not ostentatious but expressed through elegant space, natural light, and artistic decor details.
On the Halong Bay Overnight Cruise, Bhaya Soul Cruise offers guests not only high-class services - from private butlers, spas, four-season swimming pools to fine dining - but also a unique “natural symphony”: the sound of waves, birdsong, and gentle sea breeze. Every sound, every moment becomes a healing experience, bringing people closer to the inherent tranquility of Halong Bay.
With 20 luxurious cabins, all with private terraces and bathtubs overlooking the bay, Bhaya Soul Cruise promises a vacation that is both private and complete. If you are looking for a different experience, let Halong Bay Cruise Deals accompany you on your trip with Bhaya Soul - where landscape, people, and soul blend into one.
