The gracious Ginger is Heritage Line’s newest vessel cruising Lan Ha Bay, a tranquil part of the famous Halong Bay in Vietnam. With just 12 large suites, Ginger exudes a private atmosphere on board, making it feel almost like you have the whole vessel to yourself. There are two Regent Suites in the highest room category, four Signature Suites and six Junior Suites. Each room is naturally light-flooded, with a well-sized balcony, warm timber floors, marble bathrooms and distinguished design themes that marry the long-lasting traditions of Northern Vietnam with contemporary accents.
Begin your day with a private balcony breakfast as the boat sails through a mystical landscape of karsts and islands. After an adventure-filled day onshore, recline in your spacious room, head out to the pool deck for sundowners, or choose from the cultural menu of activities, including hands-on cooking classes, tai chi, kayaking and more. There’s also a vast spa occupying the whole stern of the ship, with three treatment rooms all offering views of the bay. Later, take your place at the restaurant to watch the chefs prepare your feast of Vietnamese or Western cuisine, before finding a spot in the indoor bar for a digestif – the perfect end to your day.
