We had the pleasure of staying on the Au Co 2 for two nights and three days in January. As soon as you are welcomed on to the cruise, you know that this will be an unforgettable trip. Besides the amazing natural beauty, you have the joy of travelling on a beautiful cruise boat that is decked out from head to toe in every luxury you could think of. We were fortunate enough to stay in a balcony room, which I would definitely recommend! It was wonderful to be able to wake up early and enjoy the view as you set off for the day from your balcony.The food onboard was amazing, fresh and varied, with a magnificent views in every direction to enjoy as well. The staff are dedicated to making your stay the highlight of your Vietnam travels. Kevin was an amazing cruise manager, who somehow managed to be in every place at once!! Very attentive and professional. Ruby, June and Bang (Tiger P) were wonderful crew who were personable and highly professional. The whole crew made every passenger feel welcomed and important, even though there were about 30 people max traveling onboard.You have the option of exploring on the day trips or remaining on the boat, whichever takes your fancy.I also treated myself to a massage in the spa onboard. It was very relaxing and peaceful, and a cherry on top of the rest of the trip.There was not one part of the trip that we could fault. Treat yourself to a trip of a lifetime by taking the Au Co cruise in Ha Long Bay – you will not be disappointed.Less

Fantastic 2 Night stay on Halong Bay with Au Co - Luxury Cruise. One of the many hightlights of our visiti to Vietnam. Although the weather was cooler than expected for February, the crew, accommodations, service and included tours, more than made up for it. Definitely not to be missed if you in Northern Vietnam. A really great experience.

Well organised trip. Very friendly and informative staff. Weather disappointing but Halong Bay enjoyable and mysterious in the mist. Cookery demonstration on making spring rolls on deck caused much amusement despite the falling rain! Cabin and facilities luxurious especially for the size of the junk. Thank you for the memorable experience.

The weather could have been kinder, but we really enjoyed the trip. But we have to say that being over the engines and generators was awful. The scenery was lovely and the bike to the village was awesome (but it drizzled on the way there, and it poured on the way back - although the route back was easier than expected!)

The food was excellent as was the tours. Visiting the fishing village was an eye opening for a city slicker. The accommodations were surprisingly spacious and very clean. The highlight was sitting on the top deck cruising amongst the numerous islands. It was a memory that I will reflect upon through the rest of my life. Go and explore another culture on a junk boat. You won’t regret it.Less

This was part of my Wendy Wu Classic Mekong tour. We had an enthusiastic musical welcome as we approached the boat. All the crew were so friendly and helpful. Excellent cabin and food. Interesting 7:30am visit to caves and fun Master Chef competition in the evening. The younger members of our group had a great time kyaking. All this whilst sailing through wonderful scenery.

We sailed on the Auco 2 and was wowed by the cruise and staff. They went out of their way to insure we had a great experience. Scenery of course was spectacular. This ship went to Cat Ba Island that most shorter cruises skip. It is worth spending more time at this amazing place

My friend and I stayed on the AuCo II for three days and two nights and had the most amazing time.The staff was very friendly, kind, helpful and they always made sure we were enjoying ourselves and making the most of our stay. The view was stunning through the entire trip, we went swimming, kayaking, biking in the island of Cat Ba and were able to visit a floating village (with no one else but the people on our boat). Wherever we went we felt like we were the only ones and had the place to ourselves.The boat itself is very cozy and well-equipped. Our rooms were beautiful and the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job. We very much enjoyed our balcony and the softness of our beds. The food was great, fresh and varied, plus you get to enjoy your meals with a magnificent view. I do not eat meat and the staff always provided a great alternative. What's more, when meals were self-service, they specifically told me which dishes were non-veg and were happy to make arrangements.Thanks again to all of the cruise members. I hope we'll see you again.Less
