In the luminous waters of Ha Long Bay, where limestone karsts rise like ancient guardians from the sea, Bhaya Cruises is once again calling travellers, partners and local communities to protect the landscape that has long defined Vietnam’s natural imagination.
On May 28, 2026, the leading Vietnamese cruise operator will bring back its annual environmental initiative, Clean The Bay 2026: Green Promise – For the Bay We Love, marking the ninth year of a program dedicated to marine conservation and responsible tourism. First launched in 2017, Clean the Bay has grown from a company-led effort into a collaborative movement, uniting travel partners, NGOs, volunteers, local residents and environmentally conscious travellers around one shared mission: safeguarding the ecological health of Ha Long Bay.

This year’s journey will unfold aboard The Au Co Cruise, where participants will take part in hands-on activities across the bay. From kayaking and tender boat clean-ups to waste sorting, environmental impact recording and sustainability awareness sessions, the initiative transforms environmental responsibility into direct, meaningful action.
Yet Clean the Bay is more than a day of collecting waste. It is a reminder that the future of travel depends on care, continuity and collective awareness. As guests move across the water, each small action becomes part of a larger promise to preserve the bay’s beauty for generations to come.
For Bhaya Cruises, sustainability is not an occasional gesture but a long-term commitment woven into the way the company operates and engages with its surroundings. As global tourism increasingly turns toward more responsible models, Clean The Bay 2026 stands as an inspiring example of how hospitality can become a force for protection, education and lasting change.
The day will close with a sunset gathering, celebrating not only what has been cleaned, but what has been remembered: that Ha Long Bay is not just a destination to admire, but a living heritage to protect.
