Heritage Line Violet

Halong Bay – Cua Van Floating Village – Tien Ong Cave – Titop Island

Violet is Heritage Line’s most coquettish French-Indochinese-designed luxury cruise. Violet is named after the beautiful Violet Chirita, a delicate purple-flowered plant that grows nowhere else but on the rocky slopes of Halong Bay. Like her namesake, Violet is small and exquisite.

Built to resemble traditional Asian junk, this Halong Bay luxury cruise features gleaming wooden floors, opulent silks and velvet, and cabins with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the breathtaking views. You will find all the amenities you would expect in a larger vessel, including a gym and sauna, a spa with unrivaled views, a restaurant, a lounge, and a rooftop sundeck.

With just six bright, spacious suites, all showcasing an individual, impressive interior, Heritage Line Violet cruise is perfect for romantic sojourns, well-being cruising, or privatized sailings. Being a ‘one-of-a-kind’ sailing of the famed Halong Bay in the Gulf of Tonkin, the Heritage Line Violet cruise grants the highest level of privacy to the guests.

Journeying through Halong Bay aboard this unique boutique ship assuredly makes one’s stay unforgettable, be it as an individual, couple, or small group.
