Heritage Line Violet Cruise - Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay Hạ Long

Heritage Line Violet Cruise I Halong Bay & Bai Tu Long Bay

Cruising through the famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Halong Bay is one of the most memorable experience one can get when travelling in Vietnam. Located just northeast of Halong Bay, Bai Tu Long shares the same iconic scenery of limestone karst formations and evergreen islands and islets while attracting far fewer travellers. Just only two hours from Hanoi and you embark on a genuine overnight journey aboard Heritage Line’s extraordinary small, luxurious ship to explore this destination to the fullest.

This cruise offers a fantastic adventure to discover some of the most classic sights in the bay. Guests have the choice between 1 or 2-night itineraries. The 2-night program is the recommended option as it includes attractions that are very unique to the bay and a must-see once visiting Halong Bay. The 1-night cruise includes a visit of a former floating fishing village as well as a mall (archeological) cave on the first day, whilst the second day allows guests to do some swimming a nice stretch of beach in the morning hours. A highlight is an early morning hill-top hike that rewards with great views on “Kodak-moments” on the bay from above. The 2-night stay adds the so-called unique and classic sights: Guest explore the largest cave in the bay and visit a local pearl farm to understand the cultivation and harvesting of pearl. A kayak tour in a quite lagoon is included as well.

Starting 2026, the 2-Night only journey to Bai Tu Long offers a most serene and remote bay experience paired with a wonderful blend of lifestyle & expedition-character to it.

All itineraries are operated aboard luxurious ship Heritage Line ‘Violet’. A 6-suite vessel only offering utmost privacy and an unmatched onboard atmosphere. The cabins aboard this exclusive Art-Deco-Indochinese designed ship come all with private balcony, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, a sofa lounge and large bathroom with walk-in shower and Jacuzzi.
