A Floating Boutique Hotel in Halong Bay
The Heritage Cruise was the highlight of my trip to Vietnam. The ship feels like a floating boutique hotel, with beautiful design, spacious rooms, and the glass ceiling at the ship's center is brilliant.
The crew was incredibly friendly, the food was excellent (a mix of Vietnamese and Western), and the activities like kayaking and visiting Dark & Bright Cave. Highly recommend!
