All Cruise Activities
Accommodation
The 20 air-conditioned suites are spread across the three decks, all with en-suite bathroom, panoramic windows, sitting area and expansive ocean views from an oversized terrace with a day bed. At Heritage Cruises, our standards are so high there is no such thing as a standard suite. You will encounter a level of luxury and service that is nothing short of stellar, including 24-hour room service.
The suites are bright, spacious and inviting; the bedding is sumptuous. Twin beds can be converted to a double bed or vice versa. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the ocean, and all suites feature double closets, drawers, a safe, iPhone docking station, bathroom with a bathtub and a separated walk-in rain-shower, professional hairdryer, and all-organic hair and bath amenities.
Dining
One of Vietnam’s most loved gifts to the world is its cuisine. Vietnamese food knows no borders and is appreciated for its freshness and unique mix of textures, flavors and aromas.
Heritage Cruises takes you on a culinary journey offering plenty of venues to eat, drink and relax. You will have plenty to discover at our two restaurants, indoor and outdoor lounges, wine cellar and a delightfully fun pool bar – situated beside a swimming pool.
Using the old name of North Vietnam in French Indochina, the décor of Le Tonkin, where your evening meal is served, reflects the nostalgia of traditional Tonkin.
Indochina is a geographical term originating in the early 19th century and referring to the continental portion of the region now known as Southeast Asia. The term was later adopted as the name of the colony of French Indochina including Vietnam (Tonkin (North Vietnam), Annam (Central Vietnam), Cochinchine (South Vietnam)), Cambodia, and Laos.
L’Indochine Restaurant is located on the Panorama Deck and enjoys stunning views. Our guests take breakfast, brunch de luxe and lunch here, either indoors or outdoors, whatever your preference.
At Heritage Cruises dining is not just about the menu. We craft dining experiences and our carte du jour is in the capable hands of Iron Chef, whose passion for gastronomy results in a fine-dining experience involving local and fusion cuisine drawing on Asian and Western influences. Our sommelier can also help you to choose your favorite wines from our wine cellar.
