Ylang, Lan Ha Bay

Embarking on a voyage through the untouched waters of Lan Ha Bay, the serene neighbor of Halong Bay, the Ylang cruise by Heritage Line is an embodiment of luxury and a gateway to the region’s natural wonders.

Lan Ha Bay’s Hidden Gems

Natural Wonders in Lan Ha Bay

Cruising the remote, unspoilt waters of Lan Ha Bay – Halong Bay’s quieter, but no less scenic neighbour – the elegant Ylang offers you a deep insight into the region’s natural charms.

The latest addition to Heritage Line’s distinctive fleet, Ylang is one of the region’s most luxurious vessels, combining 10 lavishly appointed suites and Italian marble bathrooms with an expansive spa, yoga room and fine, wood panelled restaurant. Drawing on traditional Vietnamese design and heavily showcasing the work of local artisans, the interiors throughout are supremely elegant, with dark wood panels, watercolour paintings and delicate floral motifs everywhere.

A cruise aboard the Ylang is a chance to uncover the spectacular limestone karst formations and secret coves of Lan Ha Bay and its largest island – Cat Ba. Each day brings a new adventure, whether you choose to kayak the bay’s tranquil waters, explore traditional fishing villages by bike or laze on natural beaches. Back on board, you can unwind in the cosy Library Salon or head to the bar which boasts 180-degree glass windows and gorgeous views of the passing seascapes.
