Heritage Binh Chuan Cruise
INTRODUCTION
Inspired by the legacy of the shipbuilding king Bach
Thai Buoi, who successfully launched the Binh Chuan ship
in Hai Phong over 100 years ago,
Heritage Binh Chuan was born with the mission of
connecting people with the history, culture, art, and
majestic nature of the Gulf of Tonkin in general, and
Lan Ha Bay in particular.
Guests will experience the culture, history, art, and
people of Vietnam while cruising on this unique cruise
ship amidst natural wonders.
Heritage Binh Chuan focuses on comfort and respecting
the privacy of guests with 20 spacious, luxurious
suites, each with a private balcony overlooking the sea,
allowing guests to admire the natural wonder from
anywhere in their room. We want every moment to be
precious, worth preserving as a beautiful memory of a
lifetime.
We focus entirely on a truly impressive and uniquely
different experience, stemming from the harmonious blend
of people, local cultural essence, and pristine natural
beauty, along with impeccable service – all these
elements combine to create beautiful memories of your
journey of discovery and experience on Heritage Cruises.
