A poetic journey of wellness, culture, and mindful indulgence in Lan Ha Bay
Where wellness drifts gently with the rhythm of Lan Ha Bay
Ylang Cruise isn't simply a cruise - it’s a curated 3-day voyage of rest, reconnection, and self-discovery through one of Vietnam’s most pristine marine landscapes. With just 10 luxurious suites, each with private balconies and floor-to-ceiling views, Ylang blends contemporary French-Vietnamese elegance with a strong focus on wellness and cultural immersion.
Inspired by Vietnam’s imperial heritage and floral beauty, the décor weaves together intricate woodwork, lacquered details, and soft natural palettes. The boat’s signature spa concept flows throughout: from Tai Chi on the sun deck, herbal steam therapies, and Vietnamese massage rituals, to quiet reading corners and tea-infused meditations.
Every detail - from organic dining options and artful excursion pacing to personalised service - is crafted to slow you down, not fill your itinerary. Guests have time to kayak among jungle-clad islets, visit remote floating villages, and enjoy shaded forest walks on Cat Ba Island, all while tuning into their own rhythm.
For travellers seeking meaningful, restorative travel or couples looking for a retreat by the ocean, Ylang Cruise offers a rare balance between inner well-being and outer exploration, wrapped in elegance, silence, and soul.
