TRAVEL & RESORTS
What’s a boutique cruise without world-class
services, comfort and relaxation? The Heritage
Cruises ship offers versatile and exquisite dining
options: Bach Dang Wine Cellar that has the right
bottle for every occasion; Le Tonkin restaurant,
where romance will thrive or important matters
can be discussed; L’Indochine restaurant that
helps to learn more about Vietnam through its
cuisine; pool bar — because no cruise would be
fun without it, and, of course, lounges inside and
outdoors.
Heritage Cruises Binh Chuan Cat Ba Archipelago is
not a place to be bored: the ship is equipped with
numerous wellness and entertainment facilities.
Voyagers have an opportunity to keep fit during
their cruise at an air-conditioned gym, relax at the
lavish White Lotus Spa, or enjoy a good book in
the most exquisite floating library in Vietnam. LLA’s
experts were stunned by its rich collection of books
on such subjects as arts, culture, architecture,
literature, travel and the 1930s French Indochina.
The library also boasts works about the Heritage
Cruises’ inspirational entrepreneur, Bach Thai
Buoi, as well as the exclusive Red River Memories,
Bao Dai Best-Kept Secrets, and The Picasso of
Vietnam, written by the cruise owner, Pham Ha.
Environmentally conscious tourists will also
appreciate the fact, that Heritage Cruises is a
responsible cruise provider. The company’s aim is
to encourage socially responsible travel through
education, and by reducing their carbon footprint.
The latter is achieved by using sustainable
materials, as well as new engines, in the ship’s
construction. In addition to this, the structure of
the cruise ship is designed to maximize natural
light and airflow, and to reduce the need for air
conditioning. There are no plastic bags or bottles
on the cruise (the travelers are provided with
reusable ones). Every month, the team cleans
trekking trails, aiming to keep the area clean for
generations to enjoy. After all, it is always better
to purchase services from a company that gives
back to the community and cares about the
environment, isn’t it?
