Ha Long, Nan Hai bays cruise. - The ship is well decorated which created an ambience that is relaxing. The room is very comfortable and spacious. The staff and services are great . Staff is observant and makes us feel at home. The manager Chris speaks good English and communicated with us well. He is very experience in dealing with our needs. The dinner at the cellar room was special and memorable. That was a touch from Chris. We didn't join all the tours but that's our choice as we just wanted to have relaxing time together.

Unique Time in Heritage Tour - This is an excellent journey!! You can absolutely see the unique scenery of hills and seas which is incredibly impressive in your life. The service on the ship is so delicate and considerable that you feel that you were living with your family. There are many interesting activities on the ship and the bay, for example, you can take the speedboat to have a tour seeing the landscape or you can play kayaking with your friends or your lover to explore the water world. I think you will also enjoy yourself when you have dinner in beautiful traditional Vietnam suites just as you were in palace several centuries ago. By the way, they offer the best food and you shall eat the famous Vietnam pho in ship! Don’t forget to swim in the sea which is extremely safe and full of fun! Thanks all the staff in this wonderful journey! Strongly recommended to everyone to enjoy your lifetime here!

Halong Bay best exclusive Cruise - Best Cruises that you can take in Halong Bay Our trip with Heritage Cruises in Halong Bay was excellent from start to finish. Tuan was incredibly helpful, assisting us with the rescheduling of our visas and always promptly answering our WhatsApp messages, which made us feel very confident and at ease. The Heritage Cruise exudes elegance and exclusivity, with top-notch service that exceeded our expectations. Chris, the Cruise Director, was always smiling and attentive to every detail, ensuring our experience was exceptional. The entire team was outstanding, and we particularly want to recognize Anthony, Hang, Taylor, and the chef’s son, who delighted us with his exquisite culinary creations at every meal. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, we highly recommend the Heritage Cruise.

40th Wedding anniversary - Wow. First time cruise for us and it didn't disappoint. Boat was a floating hotel/art museum. Rooms were better than expected and meals fabulous. Time of year was perfect as it was low season and therefore fewer boats on the waterways. Spent time kayaking with day trips organized to a local village. The boat has a pool to relax in and grab a drink from the poolside bar. Staff were very generous leaving a bouquet of flowers and chef made cake to celebrate our anniversary. All staff were polite and helpful. We had great fun with Dat who was very eager to impress, special mention to the chef Son for great dining experiences and assistant manager Karen who made sure our stay was enjoyable and catered for. Would recommend this type of cruise for those who want more of a lux feel

The best boutique cruise line in the World - Can't wait to cruise on the Heritage Bình Chuẩn of Lux Cruises again! My wife and I had an exceptional time aboard the Heritage Bình Chuẩn in the Cat Ba Archipelago. We booked the largest suite and were thoroughly impressed with the room and its amenities. We opted for the all-inclusive package, which included a daily massage—no need to worry about additional charges for every little thing on board. I highly recommend this cruise for anyone seeking a luxury Lan Ha Bay/Ha Long Bay experience. The speedboat ride to the village and cycling down into the quaint valley were memorable. The swim at Ba Trai Dao Beach, our own secluded paradise, was the perfect touch to our adventure amid breathtaking scenery. Fishing for squid directly off the boat became an unexpected highlight, thanks to the excellent guidance from Karen at the reception desk. Chef Thuy then prepared the squid I caught, turning it into a delicious meal that I'd recommend everyone try. Nam, our main waiter, was remarkably attentive, ensuring all our needs were met while being friendly and engaging. Other staff members, Mac and Ly, were also incredibly helpful. The entire crew was proficient in English, which made communication smooth. We enjoyed our fine dining experience with traditional music, áo dài, ambiance and amazing food. The cuisine was consistently top-notch, with Chef Thuy deserving another shout-out. Chris, our cruise manager, was a delight to meet. In conclusion, if you're searching for the ultimate luxury experience in Lan Ha Bay or Ha Long Bay, book with Heritage Bình Chuẩn—undeniably the best boutique cruise line in the world! I recommend it 100%!

OUTSTANDING FOOD & STAFF - The Cruise was outstanding from the minute we arrived til the end. All staff were very friendly, helpful and kind especially Chris, the Manager who made our trip extra special for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The food was amazing, like eating in a 5 star michelin restaurant and our dietary requirements were met with no problem at all. The trips, kayaking and cycling were great and the pool was an added bonus. The staff couldn't do more for you. A very memorable cruise and would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Can’t wait to cruise on the Heritage again! - Amazing experience on the Heritage. My wife and I booked the largest suite and were very happy with the room and features. Be booked the all inclusive option and enjoyed a massage each day and no worrying about being charged for every little thing on the boat. I would highly recommend this cruise. We loved the speedboat ride to the village and riding bikes down into the small valley where the village was. The swim afterwards was a nice treat on our own private beach. I caught a squid off the boat (with some excellent coaching from Karen at the reception desk) and the chef (Thuy) cooked it up for me. It was delicious and I highly recommended trying to catch your own. Nam was our main waiter and very attentive. He saw to all our needs and was engaging and friendly. The other staff that were a great help were Mac and Ly. All of the staff spoke great English. The food was top notch (one more mention for Chef Thuy)! Chris was our cruise manager and a pleasure to meet. Bottom line, if you are looking for a luxury Lan Ha Bay /Ha Long Bay experience, book the Heritage.
