One of Asia’s leading boutique cruise operators, Heritage Line, is charting blissful new channels by launching the first ever wellness and mindfulness focused voyage on Lan Ha Bay in Vietnam.

The limestone karst-studded seascape in the northern reaches of the Gulf of Tonkin have long been known for their life-affirming qualities. Now visitors heading out onto the water have been provided with further uplift to mind, body and soul on Heritage Line Ylang, a new 10-suite vessel that counts a sumptuous floating spa and onboard meditation and tai chi among its holistic calling cards.

Andreas Schroetter, director of sales and marketing in Heritage Line said: “Not only is it the first ultra-luxury vessel sailing a three-day itinerary in Lan Ha Bay, it is also one of the first ships in this destination that fully conceptualises a journey focused on wellbeing.”

The itinerary of the voyage has been curated to keep the wellness thread running throughout. Offshore expeditions during the trip include soft hiking and cycling on pristine Cat Ba Island and kayaking on the emerald waters of the bay.
