Cruising through the emerald waters and limestone karsts of Lan Ha Bay, Heritage Line’s Ginger offers a boutique take on traditional Vietnamese junk design. With just 12 suites – including Junior, Signature and the indulgent Regent Suites – the ship feels intimate and thoughtfully crafted. Interiors blend warm timber floors, marble bathrooms and wooden shutters with bright, airy décor, silk embroideries and hand‑inked artworks. Every suite features a private balcony and lounge area, while Regent Suites elevate the experience with jacuzzi tubs and gold‑leaf ceilings.
Dining is a highlight. Ginger’s almost 360‑degree restaurant is flooded with natural light and showcases fresh Vietnamese flavours alongside modern Western dishes. Guests can dine al fresco, enjoy room service on their private balcony, or unwind in the elegant indoor bar with a cocktail as the sun sets over the bay. The ship’s upper terrace deck is its showpiece – a panoramic space with a pool overlooking Lan Ha Bay’s dramatic scenery. It’s also the setting for sunrise Tai Chi, a peaceful way to begin the day. A curated programme of activities brings the region to life, from kayaking through jade‑green waters to cycling on Cat Ba Island’s jungle trails. Back on board, the spa offers a tranquil retreat, with a VIP treatment room featuring floor‑to‑ceiling windows framing the bay.
