As the team say themselves, “Bigger boats may make headlines, Bhaya Classic Premium Line is designed to make memories”. With a wealth of experience behind them, the Bhaya Classic Premium Line is part of what is now the largest tour operator in Halong Bay.
This cruise, in terms of style and taste, is in keeping with the rest of the traditional junk boat fleet. What sets the Bhaya Classic Premium Line apart, however, is its low capacity and boutique style. Each ship has between 3 and 7 rooms, meaning the onboard experience is intimate and private.
Each cabin is fitted with its own private balcony, so you can choose to enjoy panoramic views of Halong Bay from the comfort of your own space. Apart from the cabins, the sundeck and the restaurant are ideal places to enjoy views of the passing scenery, and spend some time with your travel partner.
Bhaya Classic Premium Cruise is perfect for small groups, families, couples, and solo travelers.

A Bit Too Rushed
We took the opportunity to visit Halong Bay with a package that included an overnight in Hanoi in a 5 star hotel. AT just over $200 each it was terrific value. We even went on to extend our stay at the hotel in Hanoi to give us time to explore the city. We booked with Bhaya Classic Cruise Halong Bay and for the most part it was a positive experience. It was a bit rushed and that was my only real complaint, there was not enough time to simply enjoy the boat, which was amazing. I could have done without some of the excursions and would have preferred to stay onboard chilling out and enjoying the scenery. It was though still an very well run and fascinating trip into stunning scenery.

Wow, just wow!
What an experience and what a ship! Bhaya Classic Premium Cruise was astonishing, there is no other word for it. This must surely be one of the most beautifull of all the boats operating in Halong bay. The level of luxury onboard was truly exceptional. Its a pretty new boat, the cruise has been running for about two years. Great cabins capitalizing on available space and utilizing it to the fullest. Food was divine, good wine selection and service was amongst the best we had gotten in Vietnam. Off the ship the extra trips were really good. This lived up to the advertising.
