Southeast Asia’s leading luxury cruise operator, Heritage Line invite travellers to sail slowly in supreme comfort and enjoy a sense of tranquillity and togetherness that’s unforgettable, offering two of its luxurious ships for private charters in northern Vietnam’s spellbinding Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, where daily life consists of soaking up UNESCO World Heritage-listed scenery, floating past traditional fishing villages and picnicking on secluded islands.
Whether you are celebrating a destination wedding, bringing together a multigenerational family, marking a milestone birthday with mates or planning a corporate escape, Heritage Line’s intimate vessels can host between 12 and 24 guests in opulent style. Heritage Line’s private charter cruises invite travellers to sail slowly in supreme comfort and enjoy a sense of tranquillity and togetherness that’s unforgettable.
Each spacious and individually designed suite has been thoughtfully designed as a comfortable ‘home away from home’ and a floating gallery, showcasing unique local artworks, textiles, and artisan handicrafts to reflect the unique flavour and culture of the destination.
Once onboard, guests can dine together in elegant restaurants, enjoy a customised barbecue on the alfresco sundeck, host a sunset cocktail party, or start the day together with a sunrise yoga class.
“Private charters sailings are the perfect way to experience the small ship difference, including personalised service with dedicated staff who quickly know everybody’s name – something that’s just not possible on larger vessels,” said Andreas Schroetter, Director of Sales and Marketing for Heritage Line. “We invite travellers to slow down and sail in supreme comfort, enjoying an unforgettable sense of tranquillity and togetherness.”
