Frequently Asked Questions

Can I request a special vegetarian or vegan diet on board?

Absolutely possible. Based on the Five Elements culinary philosophy, the chef can adjust the menu to accommodate requests such as vegetarianism, food allergies or medical diets.

Guests need to specifically notify these requirements to the reservation team at least 5 days before departure to ensure the most thorough preparation.

Why does The Au Co require passport/CCCD information to be sent 5 days in advance?

This is a mandatory regulation of the Port Authority and authorities to complete procedures for declaring temporary residence at sea and purchasing passenger insurance for tourists throughout the voyage.

Sending information early helps the check-in process at Tuan Chau port go quickly, ensuring the ship departs on schedule at 12:30.

Is kayaking safe for inexperienced people?

Have. Kayak activities at Trinh Nu beach are supervised by a team of professional staff who have conducted SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) training.

Guests will be provided with mandatory life jackets and basic technical instructions before entering the water. This service is included in the 3 Days 2 Nights tour package of The Au Co.

If I go alone but want to stay in a private room, what is the price?

The cruise has a pricing policy specifically for "Single Cabin". This price is usually lower than the total price of a double room but higher than the price per person when traveling with two people.

What policies does the cruise ship have to protect the environment that I need to pay attention to?

The Au Co implements the policy "Say no to single-use plastic". Guests are encouraged not to bring plastic bottles on board.

There are free water filtration stations available on board and guests will be given reusable water bottles to refill water throughout the journey.

In case of bad weather (storm, fog), what is the cruise ship's handling policy?

Flight cancellations due to weather completely depend on the decision of the Ha Long Bay Management Board to ensure absolute safety.

In this case, the cruise ship will apply refund or service reservation policies depending on when the cruise is canceled (before departure, after lunch or after staying 1 night).

Can I charge electronic devices on board and what type of outlet should I use?

All cabins are equipped with a stable 220V electrical system from the ship's modern generator.

Sockets on ships are 2-prong round or flat international standards, suitable for usually most electronic devices today.

What is special about Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island?

This is an isolated ancient village where visitors can bike through the national forest and visit the Bhaya Community Farm.

Here, you can learn about the organic farming process that provides food for cruise ships and participate in community activities under the "Give & Gain" project.
