Launched in 2019, the 4-story, 5-star Heritage Binh Chuan cruise reminisces the golden era of the Indochine period. This vessel pays homage to the pioneering designs of the first ship by Bach Thai Buoi, ensuring a luxurious experience atop the shimmering waters of Lan Ha Bay.
The Heritage Binh Chuan boasts 20 boutique cabins: 6 Delta Suites, 10 Ocean Suites, 2 Captain Suites, and 2 Regal Suites. Each cabin, varying in size from 33 to 46 sqm, is uniquely designed but all offer spacious interiors and premium amenities.
Drawing inspiration from the Indochine style, the design intricately weaves in elements of historical traditions and culture. To amplify natural lighting, the cruise features arched staircases and expansive windows. Every cabin is enhanced with a private balcony and a sizable bathroom featuring panoramic windows to capture the lush bay views.
The first two levels are dedicated to guest accommodations: Delta and Captain Suites are adjacent to a wine cellar on the first floor, while Ocean and Regal Suites grace the second. The upper levels are dedicated to dining and entertainment, complete with a spacious sun lounge, perfect for activities like morning Vovinam, outdoor cooking sessions, event parties, afternoon tea, or simply lounging and enjoying the bay’s beauty.
Additionally, the cruise offers the only seasonal pool in Lan Ha, and one of the most expansive onboard swimming pools, situated on the top deck. For culinary enthusiasts, the L’Indochine and Le Tonkin restaurants, accompanied by a wine cellar and lounge bar, provide an array of Vietnamese and international delicacies. Guests can enjoy a mixed Asian and Western buffet for breakfast and lunch, while dinner offers a fine dining experience. Children have their own special menu tailored just for them.
Other amenities include a piano lounge, art gallery, and a boutique spa to elevate the relaxation experience. With a range of tours and engaging activities, the Heritage Binh Chuan cruise promises a memorable cultural journey for all who visit Vietnam.
