About Heritage Line Ylang Cruise
Managed by the reputable Heritage Line fleet, Ylang Cruise is a masterpiece waking up all your senses on the forgotten heaven of Lan Ha Bay. The traditional architecture well blended with Indochinese style is exuded via the elegant flower motifs in every suite, artistic paintings, and many other details in the interior décor.
Ylang possesses only 10 luxurious suites – the perfect number for a journey with both relaxation and recreation, with needed privacy and ideal communication. Each suite is spacious at the size of 40 to 54sqm, owns a separate bedroom and a lounge area with a sofa overlooking the bay, and provides an ensuite bathroom with both a walk-in shower and bathtub. Regency Suites located at the bow of the ship even add a private outdoor jacuzzi, becoming the most premium option for leisure travelers, especially couples.
Featuring the wellness theme, Ylang brings up to 3 private treatment rooms with a variety of modern spa facilities such as sauna, steam bath, and a wellness studio. Guest cannot refuse the culinary voyage on board with fine dining at Ylang’s restaurant. No matter if you are meat lovers or vegetarians, Ylang promisingly serves the best treats to your liking.
Ylang offers only 3 day-2 night excursions to the most untouched areas of Lan Ha Bay. Depending on the period of time in the year, the cruise makes travelers enjoy the pure beauty of the bay to the fullest.
