Itinerary

Expand all
Hanoi - Tuan Chau Marian - Viet Hai Village (L,D)

Embark on a one-of-a-kind adventure as you meet at Heritage Line’s lounge at Tuan Chau Marina. From there, a brief speedboat ride transports you to your luxurious floating home, the perfect base for exploring the captivating wonders of Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island. Enjoy a delicious lunch in the almost 360-degree, light-filled dining room while we sail deeper into the bay. Relax on the terrace deck or your private balcony, taking in the breathtaking seascape.

After mooring near Cat Ba Island, we disembark and head towards Viet Hai Village, nestled in a scenic valley surrounded by lush, jungle-covered mountains. Cycling through this remote valley offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditional, self-sustained lifestyle of the local residents. This isolated community, accessible only by sea, thrives by cultivating vegetables, fruits, and fishing from the bay.

Returning to the ship, we sail to our overnight anchorage in Lan Ha Bay. Indulge in a Vietnamese tea tasting, unwind with a spa treatment, or relax in the sauna of the ship’s expansive spa area. After dinner, you can participate in a guided "Singing Bowl Meditation" in the wellness studio or simply unwind under the stars on the terrace deck or your private balcony, fully immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty of this extraordinary landscape.

Lan Ha Bay - Cat Ba National Park - Cat Ba Island (B,L,D)

Begin your day with a Tai Chi session on the terrace deck, offering a rejuvenating experience under the morning sun. During breakfast time the ship sails toward the northern access port to enter Cat Ba Island and its national park. A short scenic bus ride takes you through the lush park and the starting point for a leisurely hiking outing to get to know this designated biosphere reserve better. The Park hosts about 1,500 plant species, 78 avian, 20 reptilian and 32 mammalian species including deer, macaques, and civets.

Returning to the ship for lunch and some enjoyable sailing time reaching eventually a secluded spot for the afternoon activities. The afternoon is "at your own pace" with options including relaxing or swimming at a natural beach, exploring the calm area with kayaks, or enjoying spa treatments, steam bath, or sauna back on board. Make the most of this unhurried afternoon, creating enduring memories in Lan Ha Bay.

As the sun sets, the ship sails to its overnight mooring spot. Savour a multi-course dinner and join again our guided "Singing Bowl Meditation" or retire to your suite to unwind on your private balcony.

Lan Ha Bay - Tuan Chau - Hanoi (B)

Wake up early for a Tai Chi session on the terrace deck. Traditional Vietnamese coffee, tea and breakfast pastries await in the dining room for a first bite. The ship sails to a place called "Frog Lake", a secluded area which is perfect for an energetic morning excursion by kayak. Explore this captivating marine landscape with cliffs stretching vertically out of the water and you feel a sense of freedom while paddling through a labyrinth of jade-green water, rocks and vivid tree-topped islets.

Back on board, we serve a hearty breakfast or brunch while cruising back to the disembarkation spot, from where we transfer you back to the pier by speedboat. Savour the last moments of this unique journey while relaxing on the terrace deck.
