Halong Violet

She can be pompous at times but her coquettish appearance will melt any heart.

The younger sister is the Halong Violet. Small and exquisite, the Violet has just 6 cabins and offers a truly boutique Halong Bay cruise.

Halong Violet has all the amenities of larger vessels however, including a gym and sauna, a spa with unrivalled views, a restaurant and a lounge, and a rooftop Sundeck.

Cabins with floor to ceiling windows are the real highlight however.

For an intimate experience of Halong Bay, there is nothing to compare to the lovely Violet, one of the most beautiful vessels cruising Halong Bay.

Violet is named after the beautiful Violet Chirita, a delicate purple-flowered plant that grows nowhere else but on the rocky slopes of Halong Bay. Like her namesake, Violet is small and exquisite.

The Violet has two special Junior Suites Cabins (Water and Mountain) – the elements of Halong Bay.

The Water Junior Suite has a king bed and a soft white ocean-like ambiance surrounds the room.

The Mountain comes with twin beds and carries a more yellowish tone. Both are located on the main deck with 36 sq. m floor space and large private balconies. Bathroom are made of Italian marble with walk-in showers and a Jacuzzi.

The Violet Imperial Suites (38 sq. m) read like a romantic fairytale. The four are called Dragon, Phoenix, Moon and Cloud.

As with the Junior Suites all four are appointed with its singularly designed 1930 Indochine décor.

Large windows offer a full view to the Bay. While the Phoenix and Dragon come more in reddish hue with golden or silver deco elements and fabrics, the Cloud and the Moon have a rather dreamy-white or wistful sky-blue outfit.

All of them pay meticulous attention to detail: plush king solid wood beds, exotic dark furniture, charming fabrics and decorative walls and ceilings paintings.

The Imperial Suites sit on the upper deck and all have private balconies.

Ylang

Ylang is the latest member of Heritage Line’s collection and features a splendid blend of Asian-Vietnamese design with French-Colonial accents.

Local artisans contributed to Ylang’s decoration with hand-crafted paintings and artwork using various materials and techniques.

Each suite is dedicated to a particular blossom which typically represents a season in Vietnam.

Ylang has just 10 spacious suites on two decks – each flooded with natural light pouring in through floor-to-ceiling panoramic doors which open onto a private balcony.

What makes Ylang unique is her expansive spa with its extensive selection of thoughtfully selected treatments.

The focus on wellness lives on in the more dynamic activities such as yoga in a dedicated room or early morning Tai Chi lessons on the upper deck.

The main deck’s six spacious Signature Suites (40 sq. m) each has a private balcony equipped with a table and sun chairs.

Suites have separate lounge area and beds which face the large sliding glass door, which opens onto the balcony and endless views of the sea.

All Signature Suites’ bathrooms are fitted with a walk-in shower and a bathtub overlooking the bay.

The elegant Italian marble tiles and splendid mosaics on the walls pick up the decorative style of the suite’s living quarters.
