The ship itself is a former teak barge, converted lovingly into a cosy passenger vessel, with 12 comfortable, air-conditioned cabins and first-rate facilities.

The luxurious Au Co Cruise offers a unique proposition on the world-famous waters of Halong Bay, being the only ship that offers a true two-night cruise.

The vessel itself is modern, with comfortable, elegantly furnished cabins, each with a private balcony.
