Heritage Cruises - the first Vietnamese heritage and boutique cruise on the Red River and the Gulf Of Tonkin
Heritage Cruises introduces the first Vietnamese boutique cruise on the Red River and the Gulf of Tonkin. Our fleet of vessels combines classic elegance with comfort, showcasing the country’s history, art, cuisine and culture.
Heritage Cruises derives the inspiration for its boutique concept and design from the heritage ships of the inspirational patriotic entrepreneur Bach Thai Buoi, who transformed transportation on the waterways in Tonkin in the North Vietnam in the early 20th century. Almost a century later your clients can embark on a voyage through time on a Heritage Cruises ship – a vessel inspired by heritage designs and with impeccable service fit for the bourgeoisie from the 1930s.
The soul of Tonkin inspired the Lux Group to create a unique and authentic cruising experience in Vietnam. At Heritage Cruises, our standards are so high there is no such thing as a standard suite. You will encounter a level of luxury and service that is nothing short of stellar.
More than a century of history, heritage, arts and expeditions are built into the walls and ornate furnishings of each suite.
The high ceilings and full panoramic ocean views, the hand-painted mosaic tiles, the original paintings, the four-poster colonial bed at the center of each suite. It all combines to deliver an enticing blend of authentic classical charms of French Indochina with elegant Vietnamese themes for a unique and authentic stay.

" All experiences were so fascinating and awesome. We really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere in the restaurants, especially in Song Hong Lounge where we could have much time together. Besides, the art gallery on third floor made a great impression on us with lots of amazing and artful paintings. The staff were nice and friendly, the food was good."
