Overview

Inspired by the legendary Vietnamese entrepreneur Bạch Thái Bưởi, known as the "King of Ships," Heritage Cruise Binh Chuan is not just a voyage — it's a living museum on water, celebrating Vietnamese culture, art, architecture, and history.

Heritage Binh Chuan is Vietnam’s first boutique art cruise, designed in the style of a 1930s Indochinese vessel, yet equipped with all the comforts of a modern 5-star hotel. Featuring just 20 all-suite cabins, each with a private balcony, ocean-view bathtub, and curated local artwork, this ship is a floating gallery — inviting you to both relax and reflect.

Sailing into the tranquil waters of Lan Ha Bay, the cruise avoids tourist crowds while offering rich cultural immersion through onboard art exhibitions, live music performances, Vietnamese tea ceremonies, and curated excursions. Each detail — from the hand-painted tiles to the wine library — speaks to a refined appreciation of Vietnamese identity and heritage.

If you're seeking a luxury cruise that combines comfort with meaning, indulgence with inspiration, and natural beauty with artistic soul — Heritage Cruise Binh Chuan delivers it all.
