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.
