There are few places on earth as mesmerizing as Ha Long Bay, Vietnam’s UNESCO World Heritage site, where emerald waters meet towering limestone cliffs. Now imagine experiencing this natural wonder not just as a spectator, but as part of a journey that nourishes the body and mind.
Welcome aboard Bhaya Soul, the newest chapter in Bhaya Cruises’ story of luxury, sustainability, and authentic Vietnamese hospitality. This is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover yourself through a curated blend of culture, nature, and wellness, all surrounded by one of the world’s most stunning seascapes.


A Legacy of Luxury and Purpose
Since its debut in 2007, Bhaya Cruises has been redefining the art of luxury cruising in Ha Long Bay. With a fleet that includes Bhaya Soul, Bhaya Classic, Bhaya Legend, and The Au Co, the brand is synonymous with refined service, responsible tourism, and a deep connection to the region’s natural and cultural heritage vividly seen in conceptual designs of each cruise-line.
At the heart of this philosophy is the Bhaya Spirit, a guiding ethos that emphasizes authenticity, mindfulness, and happiness. Every aspect of the experience, from the crew’s warm hospitality to the curated itineraries that explore lesser-visited corners of the bay, is made to inspire genuine connection and inner peace by the Vietnamese customs.
This commitment to purpose-driven luxury is what makes Bhaya Soul more than a ship. She represents a sanctuary at sea.
Bhaya Soul: Where Luxury Meets Wellness
Created for travelers who seek depth, balance, and transformation, Bhaya Soul is the embodiment of mindful travel. Here, wellness is woven into the rhythm of the voyage itself.

This autumn, Bhaya Soul introduces The Soul Sanctuary, a curated series of complimentary wellness experiences from October to December designed to harmonize body and mind. Whether you are meditating to the rhythm of ocean waves, flowing through yoga poses at sunset, or losing yourself in the notes of a live guitar performance under the stars, The Soul Sanctuary is where luxury transforms into self-discovery.
The Soul Sanctuary: A Journey Within

The Soul Sanctuary series aboard Bhaya Soul invites guests on a serene inner journey through sound, movement, and music amidst the breathtaking beauty of Ha Long Bay. Beginning with Sound Healing with Handpan and Crystal Singing Bowls, travelers are immersed in soothing vibrations that harmonize with the sea. In Yoga and Ocean Breathwork, the vessel transforms into a floating yoga studio, where mindful movement and ocean-inspired breathing restore balance and calm. The journey concludes with Classical Guitar: Melodies Around the World, a starlit concert that celebrates global harmony through soulful strings and the timeless grace of the Bay.
Wellness Enrichment

Staying true to its wellness philosophy, Bhaya Soul offers a restorative retreat for the body and mind. Guests can unwind with an inclusive 40-minute treatment tailored to their needs, drift into serenity with an evening sleep meditation beneath the gentle sway of the Bay and awaken to a new day through mindful walking inside a hidden cave, where soft light and the echo of waves inspire quiet reflection. Every element is designed to restore balance and nurture the soul amidst Ha Long Bay’s timeless calm.
Sustainability Meets Serenity
Every Bhaya voyage is guided by the brand’s dedication to responsible cruising. Their sustainable biking tours, farm-to-table ingredients, and conservation projects all contribute to preserving Ha Long Bay’s pristine beauty. Guests can rest assured that their wellness retreat also supports the well-being of the local ecosystem and communities.
Luxury here is not indulgence. It is integrity.
A Voyage Beyond Sightseeing
Whether you choose the 2-day Bhaya Soul Experience or the 3-day Deep Retreat, each itinerary is an invitation to slow down and embrace the magic of mindful travel. Every sunrise over the bay becomes a meditation, every meal a celebration of Vietnamese artistry, and every gentle wave a reminder to be present.
Bhaya Soul redefines what it means to travel well, not just to see, but to feel; not just to move, but to transform.
