Au Co Cruise
Welcome aboard The Au Co! One of the modern ships in Halong, the steel-hulled Au Co Cruise offers smooth sailing through Halong and Lan Ha bays. Retrace the steps of colonial-era explorers in vintage style aboard this 32-cabin ship, visiting hidden beaches, forested islands, and gorgeous sea lakes.
In early 2020, the twin Au Co ships received a comprehensive renovation, lending a beautiful contemporary feel to the ancient Vietnamese legend on which the ships are inspired. Returning passengers will enjoy the same sophisticated ambiance aboard the Au Co with several delightful upgrades. Updated cabins feature a modern Asian flair, subtly incorporating design elements telling the love story of Princess Au Co and her Dragon Lord of the Sea.
Whether you choose to explore hidden caves by kayak or bamboo boat, swim in the emerald waters, cycle through local villages, or simply indulge in the magnificent view from the sundeck, a variety of activities will meet everyone's expectations. Open-air bar, spa & massage area, and Jacuzzi are awaiting your time to pamper yourself. The diversity of activities onboard and so forth keeps your cruise always interesting and worth remembering for a lifetime!
