Why Book This Tour?
The Pinnacle of Boutique Luxury in Lan Ha Bay
Heritage Cruises Binh Chuan is not a standard vessel; it is a private journey into Vietnam’s history. Unlike the massive, crowded cruises in central Halong, the Binh Chuan explores the secluded Lan Ha Bay and Cat Ba Archipelago. This ensures a quieter, more exclusive experience with fewer boats, allowing you to connect deeply with the "Emerald Wilderness."
A Fusion of Art, Culture, and Vovinam
At Tiim Travel, we believe travel should enrich the soul. This tour is the only one in the bay to offer Vovinam (Vietnamese traditional martial arts) at sunrise, alongside an onboard art gallery featuring the works of Pham Luc. Every meal at Le Tonkin is an exploration of Northern Vietnamese culinary heritage, making this a must for discerning travelers who love culture as much as nature.
Unmatched Onboard Facilities
The Binh Chuan boasts the first year-round heated swimming pool on a cruise in Vietnam. Combined with the vintage Indochine aesthetics and the "floating museum" concept, this tour offers a visual and sensory experience that is unmatched in the Vietnam luxury cruise market. From the luxury limousine transfer to the meticulous turn-down service, we guarantee a seamless, high-end escape.
Rates are quoted in Vietnamese Dong (VND) per guest.
Preferential seasonal rates are available for bookings from 01 May 2026 to 30 Sep 2026.
