Halong Bay cruise overview
Bhaya Soul is the 2025 flagship of the Bhaya fleet: 20 cabins on Halong Bay, and a completely different proposition from the wooden Bhaya junks Ava also sells.
Two things no other ship here does
Breakfast is à la carte, served any time from 07:00 to 10:00. Every other boat on this page runs a fixed sitting. If the appeal of a night on the bay is not being told when to get up, this is the only ship that agrees with you.
And the route is different. Day one anchors at Ba Ham Lake, a chain of hidden lagoons most boats never enter. Day two goes to Cua Van, the largest floating fishing village in Halong, by kayak or rowing boat. The morning class is yoga, not Tai Chi.
Choosing a cabin
Signature 30 sqm at $530, Symphony Suite 46 sqm at $740, Horizon Suites 52 sqm at $910, Soul Legacy Suites 80 sqm at $1,090.
The steps are real here, not rebadged deck positions: every price rise buys meaningful floor area. All four have balconies.
If $530 is more than you want to spend on this fleet, Bhaya Cruises is the 2009 wooden junk from $240 and Bhaya Premium is the four-cabin boat at $510.
Before you book
It is a 2.5-hour drive to Tuan Chau International Port, charged separately.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.
Is Bhaya Soul Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Bhaya Soul Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Halong Bay with 20 cabins. It is worth it if you want what it does best: every cabin has a private balcony. The main thing to weigh up: it is priced above most 5-star ships on Halong Bay: from $265 per person in high season, against a typical $190.
Good reasons to pick it
- Every cabin has a private balcony.

Worth knowing before you book
- It is priced above most 5-star ships on Halong Bay: from $265 per person in high season, against a typical $190.
- There is no family room, so a family of four needs two cabins.
- It only sells 2 days 1 night on our site.
Best for: couples.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.
Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
