Heritage Line Violet Cruise Halong Bay | Reviews and Prices 2024

Heritage Line Violet is an exquisite vessel inspired by the rich aesthetic of French Indochina. With 6 opulent suites, the Violet promises a unique way to experience Ha Long Bay's ethereal beauty. It is where personalized services create an unforgettable journey.

Heritage Line Violet is "the youngest" of the stunning sisters in the Heritage Line Cruise family. Her parents have always appreciated the charm that makes her stand out from her older sisters; she has always been the hidden favorite of their dashing French aristocrat father and diminutive Vietnamese mother. Violet, so named because of the delicate purple petals that cling to the rocky islands in Halong Bay, is a delightful fusion of style, tradition, and tenderness.

Wifi, opulent in-suite amenities, drinking water, coffee, and tea stations in the restaurant, sun loungers, pool and kayak usage (limited to a 2-night tour), and in-room service (upon request) are all included on board. Full-board meals and all excursions are included in the cruise fare. Whether traveling alone, with a partner, or in a small group, a trip to Halong Bay on this distinctive boutique cruise will surely make your stay memorable.

1. Reasons Why Customers Always Choose Heritage Line Violet Cruise

1.1. Focusing On Pristine Ha Long Bay and A Part of Lan Ha Bay

Explore the beauty of Halong Bay, also called the "Bay of Descending Dragons," where over 2,000 limestone islets rise magnificently from the emerald waters and are shrouded in legends of legendary dragon protectors on a two-day/one-night cruise. This unique tour flawlessly blends opulent comfort, stunning scenery, and cultural immersion.

The trip to Violet provides an amazing experience to explore some of the bay's most iconic landmarks, such as Ti Top Island and Sung Sot Cave, as well as pristine attractions like Tien Ong Cave. There are 1-night and 2-night itinerary options for guests. It is highly suggested to go for the 2-night trip, as it encompasses sites that are distinctive to both Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay.

On the first day of the one-night trip, passengers can explore an old floating fishing hamlet and an archeological cave; on the second day, they can swim along a lovely beach in the early morning. One of the highlights is a trek up a hilltop early in the morning that offers fantastic views of "Kodak moments" over the harbor. The so-called distinctive and classic sites are added to the 2-night stay. Visitors can explore the largest cave in the bay and learn about pearl farming and harvesting by visiting a nearby pearl farm. Included is a kayak journey in a tranquil lagoon.

1.2. The Charming French-Indochinese Design

The most seductive French-Indochinese-designed luxury ship from Heritage Line is the Heritage Line Violet. This Art-Deco ship is distinguished by its gleaming wooden floors, luxurious silks and velvets, and carefully chosen antiques and decorations. Sailing the renowned Halong Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin, this one-of-a-kind vessel offers its occupants the utmost seclusion.

With names like Dragon, Moon, and Mountain, her cottages evoke all the charm of the enchanted bay. Violet enjoys nothing more than sitting down with guests to tell them about its interesting ancient customs and traditions. She has a truly creative eye, which she inherited from her French father. Her interiors are lovely and intimate, expressing Violet's sense of all things beautiful.

She truly is the bijoux of Halong Bay because of her exquisite French Art-Déco collection, which she is tremendously proud of due to its aristocratic beginnings and flawless fusion with opulent oriental elegance.

1.3. The Utmost Privacy And Intimacy

With just six airy, light-filled rooms, each with a unique, striking interior design, Violet is ideal for intimate getaways, wellness cruises, or private sailings. Every suite has a fantastic private balcony and opulent facilities.

It is the perfect home for honeymooners or romance-seeking couples looking for privacy and comfort. En-suite dining or a private candlelit dinner underneath the stars on the sun deck can be arranged upon request. The two spa rooms (one with a steam bath) invite soothing treatment of therapies. Other activities onboard are squid fishing, cooking demonstrations, or just soaking in the moment during sunset on the quiet sun deck.

2. Amenities & Services

Heritage Line Violet is called a 5-star floating hotel on the sea not only because of the wonderful layout of the bedroom space but also because of the outstanding services and facilities here, such as:

• Violet Restaurant and Dining: The culinary services on the yacht also focus on the health of guests with a variety of fresh Vietnamese dishes served in the luxurious restaurant with a glass facade with nearly 360-degree views.

Guests can enjoy an A La Carte Menu, buffets, live cooking, cooking class, or private dining.
