Halong Bay, Vietnam

Inspired by the legendary origins of the Vietnamese people, the luxury Au Co ship offers discerning travellers a unique cruising itinerary through Halong Bay. It's the only three-day cruise available year-round that encompasses not only world-famous Halong, but also lesser-frequented Lan Ha and Bai Tu Long for a truly memorable experience. 

There are two ships in the Au Co fleet, each with 32 cabins that all come with a French balcony that affords stunning and private views out across the emerald waters and jungle-clad islets. The cabins are elegantly decorated with dark wood furniture and touches of traditional Vietnamese design. You'll find all necessary mod-cons including an a/c unit and practical bathroom with good-sized shower and sink. Two suite cabins are available for those wanting more palatial accommodation on board. 

The boats comprise of a main, upper, terrace and sun deck, where a delicious BBQ dinner is held on the second night of the cruising programme - a highlight of the Au Co dining experience. At all other times, meals are enjoyed in the restaurant located on the terrace deck with floor-to-ceiling windows that ensure unforgettable views accompany your beautifully-presented food. 

Spend two nights aboard the Au Co on our 13-day Northern Vietnam itinerary.
