Heritage Line’s Ylang is a boutique luxury wellness cruise exploring the quieter, less crowded waters of Lan Ha Bay, south of Ha Long Bay. Designed with strong Indochine influences, it combines Vietnamese artistic traditions with French-colonial accents, creating an elegant floating retreat that emphasises calm, space and sensory immersion.
With only a small number of suites on board, the experience is intentionally intimate, allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views of limestone karsts, hidden lagoons and remote shorelines. Ylang’s itineraries focus on the natural beauty and cultural life of the bay, including visits to floating villages, beaches and national park landscapes, alongside time to relax on deck as the ship glides through this UNESCO-listed region.
Wellness is a central theme of the journey. The ship features an extensive spa sanctuary and offers activities such as yoga, Tai Chi, meditation and mindful cultural rituals designed to encourage rest and reflection while travelling. Guests may also take part in kayaking, cycling excursions on Cat Ba Island, or simply unwind in quiet lounges and sun decks, making the voyage as restorative as it is exploratory.
Dining takes place in an elegant restaurant serving Vietnamese and international cuisine, often with panoramic views of the bay, while evenings are low-key and tranquil, ideal for stargazing. The overall atmosphere is serene rather than social, appealing particularly to couples and travellers seeking a peaceful, wellness-oriented cruise experience.
Ylang offers just ten spacious suites, each individually styled with floral motifs representing the seasons and designed to maximise comfort and privacy. Suites range from approximately 40 to 54 m² and feature private balconies, separate seating areas and large bathrooms, some with Jacuzzi bathtubs or outdoor hot tubs. Panoramic windows ensure uninterrupted views of the bay throughout the journey.
