Heritage Line Violet

With just six suites, Heritage Line Violet is the most intimate of the fleet, and she sails exclusively through Bai Tu Long Bay.

Often described as “Halong Bay, 20 years ago”, this is a peaceful route with far fewer cruise ships and a greater sense of privacy and solitude.

The two-night itinerary in Halong’s quieter, lesser-travelled neighbour to the east blends unmissable elements like caves, floating villages and kayaking with personalised touches: private dining on deck, spa treatments on your schedule, and workshops inspired by the UNESCO-protected bay’s rich culture – from Vietnamese coffee rituals to oyster and pearl farming.

For those of you who value space, quiet, and a proper sense of place, Violet is the perfect escape.

The Rooms

There are only six expansive suites with a blend of Art Deco flair and Indochinese charm.

The Junior Suites, all named after elements of Halong Bay, feature large windows, private balconies and elegant detailing. The two Imperial Suites take it further, channelling 1930s glamour with bold design and statement bathtubs.

Expect king-sized beds, generous bathrooms and a tranquil atmosphere that matches the serenity outside.

Whether you’re relaxing in-suite or on the sun deck, Violet offers a lovely balance of privacy, space and sophistication.
