Bhaya pronounced "bay-a" was launched in July 2007. The design of the Junk used to be the one of Emperor Khai Dinh's celebrated Junk which cruised in Halong Bay in 1917 found by the 80-year-old Junk builder Nguyen Van Hoa. The Halong Bhaya herself is a artistic work, a harmonious blend between ancient Vietnamese traditional junk and modern luxury. Right after being launched in Halong Bay, Bhaya became the largest and luxurious Junk. She features 20 luxurious cabins and is capable to accommodate up to 40 passengers cruising the Bay at the same time. At present, we take great pleasure in offering travelers 2-day and 3-day programs full of on-board activities. Come and cruise Halong Bay as Khai Dinh Emperor did in more than 90 year ago.
