Heritage Line Violet Cruise: A Refined Journey Through Ha Long Bay
Heritage Line Violet is a luxurious boutique cruise inspired by the elegance of French Indochina. With only six thoughtfully designed suites, it offers an exclusive and intimate way to explore the enchanting scenery of Ha Long Bay. The experience is elevated by warm, personalized service that transforms your voyage into a cherished memory.
Violet is the newest member of the Heritage Line fleet, affectionately regarded as the “youngest sister” in a family of exceptional cruises. She’s long been the quiet favorite, a graceful blend of French sophistication and Vietnamese charm. Named after the delicate violet flowers found along the bay’s limestone cliffs, the ship brings together classic design, cultural depth, and gentle hospitality.
Each stay includes Wi-Fi, luxurious in-suite amenities, complimentary bottled water, tea and coffee at the restaurant, sun loungers, access to the plunge pool, kayak use (for guests on 2-night journeys), and optional in-room dining. All meals and excursions are included, whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or in a small group.
Why Guests Love the Heritage Line Violet
1. Pristine Routes through Ha Long & Lan Ha Bay
Sailing through the serene waters of Ha Long and part of Lan Ha Bay, Violet offers a carefully curated itinerary that balances relaxation and discovery. Guests visit iconic spots like Ti Top Island and Sung Sot Cave as well as less-traveled gems like Tien Ong Cave. A two-night cruise allows deeper exploration, including pearl farms and peaceful kayaking lagoons.
2. Elegant French-Indochinese Design
Violet is styled in vintage French Art Deco, with polished wooden floors, silk drapes, antique décor, and themed suites named Dragon, Moon, and Mountain. Each space is crafted to evoke the mystique of the bay, blending colonial elegance with oriental artistry.
3. Privacy and Intimacy
With just six spacious suites, Violet is ideal for couples, honeymooners, or private charters. Each suite includes a private balcony and luxurious bathroom with jacuzzi. Guests can enjoy candlelit dinners on the sun deck, wellness treatments in one of the two spa rooms (one with steam bath), and calming Tai Chi at sunrise.
