Day 1: Hanoi �
Lan Ha Bay (Lunch and dinner included)
08:00 Pick-up at hotel in Hanoi, transfer to Halong
city. Your luxurious floating home sets sail around
noontime. We greet you with a refreshing welcome drink
upon boarding while we acquaint you with the facilities
and procedures of our Heritage Line ship - Ylang.
As our unique journey begins, lunch is served in the
light-flooded dining room on the terrace deck offering
panoramic views of the passing scenery. We pass an
ancient lighthouse built by the French more than a
century ago. Heading deeper and further south into the
maze of Lan Ha Bay, there is time to enjoy our
activities offered onboard - take a plunge in the pool,
enjoy from our selection of signature beverages at the
bar, or settle into relaxing bliss and let us pamper you
with one fine treatment and massages available in
our expansive Ylang Spa.
Our first anchorage spot is a local pier at Southern Cat
Ba Island which is the entry point for a visit of a
charming local village named �Viet Hai�. We hop on
bicycles (or electric cars) for a scenic exploration
along small paved pathways, which meander through the
lush tropical forest towards the local village nestled
in the valley. Meet and interact with the local
inhabitants doing their daily work around their homes or
gardens and get to know the life of this remote area
where time seems to stand still.
Back on board, we set sail to at a tranquil place for
our overnight mooring. Our chef will serve a
multi-course dinner and afterward, you may join fellow
passengers for a movie night in the dining room or help
our crew at night fishing for squid.
Perhaps one of the best options is to take a seat under
the stars on the terrace deck or your private balcony to
embrace the serenity of this surreal landscape. And for
those who like to fully immerse themselves in
relaxation, our spa is open till late.
Day 2: Explore Lan Ha Bay (Breakfast,
lunch and dinner
included)
For those who awake with the sun, coffee, tea, and
pastries are offered. To get the full wellness
experience from Ylang, a Tai Chi session is held on the
sun deck to ease mind and muscles with the first rays of
the sun. Or sign up for a guided yoga class in our
dedicated yoga room.
Once energized, breakfast is served at the dining room
or to your suite before we set off to visit one of the
few remaining local floating fishing villages. Get a
close view of how the families live and work on the
water in their unique community.
We continue to the shore and travel a short distance
along scenic island roads to the Cat Ba National Park. A
leisurely hiking tour brings you closer to the elements
of this lush national park with its jungle-like nature.
Learn more about the endemic fauna and flora as well
about the island itself as Northern Vietnam�s largest
island in the Gulf of Tonkin.
During lunch, Ylang continues to sail through the bay to
a secluded spot in the bay. The afternoon is at your own
pace and choice: you may like to swim and sunbathe on a
natural beach, or join in on a kayak tour � or a bit of
both, or just kick-back on board and treat yourself from
our wide selection of wellness offerings.
After dinner, you may like to engage in our presentation
and quiz with interesting facts and insights about both
Lan Ha and
Halong Bay or simply kick-back on your private balcony
enjoying the serenity of Lan Ha Bay.
Day 3: Lan Ha Bay - Hanoi (Breakfast and lunch
included)
Start early again with a nice and tasty traditional
Vietnamese coffee, of which we hope will become part of
your future morning routine to remember this special
place on earth. Join for another open-air session of Tai
Chi or take part in some Yoga indoor.
Ylang moors this morning to offer to our guests some
more kayaking or refreshing early morning swim -
conveniently from the ship�s platform. Take these final
moments to fully emerge with the sense the Bay has to
offer before Ylang gently glides back to its harbor.
Whilst we pass back through Lan Hay Bay towards the
pier, we serve a hearty breakfast and leaving you some
relaxed time on the deck day-dreaming before we have to
say our final goodbye. Our trip ends in Hanoi around
16.00.
