Aside from offering a cozier atmosphere, the small size of this ship allows easy access to remote, less-visited places that larger vessels just can’t get to. This provides the chance to cruise the Gulf of Tonkin (Lan Ha Bay, Bai Tu Long Bay, and Halong Bay), complemented by personalized service and on-request limousine transfers, which Heritage Cruises offers.
