Heritage Line – Ylang
The Ylang is more than just a ship – it is a floating wellness and lifestyle oasis. With various spa treatments in the large Ylang Spa, guided meditations in the wellness studio, and refreshing Tai Chi at sunrise, the Ylang combines a luxurious wellness experience with an unparalleled journey in Lan Ha Bay. The Ylang, built in 2018, is the latest ship of the Heritage Line and combines Asian-Vietnamese design with French colonial accents. The antique flair of Indochina runs throughout the ship and is based on a floral theme inspired by local poetry, thematically referencing the four seasons.

Rooms
The Ylang features ten spacious suites distributed over two decks, all equipped with a private balcony and bathed in light through the large panoramic balcony doors. The six 40 m² Signature Suites are divided into a lounge area and a bedroom, adorned with intricate dark wood paneling decorated with floral motifs from Vietnamese poetry. The tasteful interior of the four Regency Suites combines traditional Vietnamese elements with elegant Indochinese touches and exceptional luxury. All suites feature luxurious bathrooms with elegant Italian marble tiles, providing a shower and a bathtub from which you can overlook the bay.
Culinary
The Ylang offers you exquisite Vietnamese and international cuisine focusing on healthy dishes and beverages for a holistic wellness stay. Regional ingredients of the highest quality are freshly prepared for you and served in the splendid ambiance of the dining room on the terrace deck. The wood-paneled ceiling with colonial-style fans, the artistic carvings on the walls, and the dark wood and rattan furnishings vividly evoke the glorious days of Indochina. The bar of the Ylang, with its 180-degree view, is the perfect place to end the day with a cocktail.
Activities
You will hardly find a better place in the world to unwind than the dreamlike Lan Ha Bay. The Ylang addresses this with its strong focus on wellness and relaxation, offered in the large spa area and wellness studio with a diverse range of relaxing treatments, meditation, and yoga. You can discover the beautiful surroundings on a bike ride through local villages or a hike in Cat Ba National Park. There are also opportunities for activities like kayaking or swimming at one of the many quiet beaches, and you can learn about the local culture by visiting the floating market or attending a cooking workshop.
Location
The Ylang is located in the beautiful Lan Ha Bay, on Cat Ba Island. This part of the Vietnamese coast is far less touristy than the area around Ha Long and is in no way inferior to its beauty. Turquoise waters surround the small rock islands that rise from the sea like towers, which are surrounded by white sandy beaches. By boat, you have the opportunity to explore this dreamlike area and discover abandoned places far from the tourist trails.
