Embark on a unique journey, meeting at Heritage Line's lounge at Tuan Chau Marina. A short speedboat transfer takes you to your luxurious floating home, the starting point for exploring the wonders of Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Island. Lunch is served in the almost 360-degree, light-flooded, elegant dining room while we sail deeper into the bay. Unwind on the terrace deck or private balcony, soaking in the surreal seascape. Mooring close to Cat Ba Island, we step on land heading to Viet Hai Village, nestled in a picturesque valley surrounded by jungle-cladded mountains. Cycling through this valley offers wonderful insights into the isolated life of the local inhabitants. The community, surrounded by thick forests and mountains, and only accessible by sea, is self-sufficient, cultivating vegetables, fruits, and fishing on the bay. Returning to the ship, we sail to our overnight anchorage spot in Lan Ha Bay. The ship's chef invites you to a hands-on cooking class in the dining room, showcasing local ingredients and the preparation of classic Vietnamese dishes. Extend the evening by unwinding at the bar with a digestif, or joining the team for some funny squid fishing before retiring to your suite. Meals: Lunch, Dinner.

Wake up early for a Tai Chi session on the terrace deck. Traditional Vietnamese coffee, tea, and breakfast pastries await in the dining room for a first bite. The ship sails to a place called "Frog Lake", a secluded area which is perfect for an energetic morning excursion by kayak. Explore this captivating marine landscape with cliffs stretching vertically out of the water and you feel a sense of freedom while paddling through a labyrinth of jade-green water, rocks, and vivid tree-topped islets. Back onboard, a hearty breakfast or brunch is served while cruising back to the disembarkation spot, from where we are transferred back to the pier by speedboat. Savor the last moments of this unique journey while relaxing on the terrace deck. Meals: Breakfast.
