Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, April 2026: There has never been a more exciting moment to experience Bhaya Soul, the elevated wellness concept by Bhaya Cruises, as it sails into 2026 with global recognition and a thoughtfully curated calendar of new experiences for discerning travellers.

Global Recognition: TIME World's Greatest Places 2026: 

Bhaya Soul has been included in the prestigious 2026 World's Greatest Places list by TIME, an annual selection of 100 extraordinary destinations worldwide. This accolade reflects the brand's commitment to meaningful, mindful travel on the tranquil waters of Ha Long Bay, where wellness, Vietnamese culture and immersive design converge to create a deeply restorative journey. 

The Soul Sanctuary: New Seasonal Experiences: 

Launching this spring and summer, Bhaya Soul introduces a series of hands-on, culturally rooted experiences designed to connect guests with Vietnam's heritage: 

• Scented Herbal Sachets Workshop (April 2026):

Guests can craft their own all-natural sachets using locally sourced herbs, which is an aromatic expression of traditional wellness practices. 

• BátTràng Mosaic Coaster Workshop (May 2026): 

Inspired by the famed Bát Tràng, this creative session invites guests to design a bespoke keepsake using pieces from the village's centuries-old ceramic tradition. 

• Summer Cocktail Crafting (June 2026):

A relaxed, social experience where guests learn to mix their own signature cocktails while taking in panoramic bay views.  

Go Further: Extended Journeys with Bhaya Legend: 

For travellers seeking deeper exploration, Bhaya expands its offering through Bhaya Legend, with extended itineraries ranging from four-day escapes to week-long expeditions. These longer journeys unlock quieter, lesser-visited corners of Ha Long Bay, offering a more intimate connection with one of the world's most iconic seascapes. 

With global acclaim and a renewed focus on immersive, wellness-led travel, Bhaya Soul continues to redefine the luxury cruise experience in Vietnam inviting travellers to slow down, reconnect and discover the soul of the bay.
