What we love

A Balance of Wellness and Leisure

Life aboard Ylang flows from one leisurely pursuit to the next, and the line between wellness and pleasure is much more of a soft glimmer. The Terrace and Upper Decks offer a range of facilities that cater to your varying needs—may it be a relaxing dip in the heated Jacuzzi pool set on the bow of the ship, or perhaps something more thrilling such as kayaking during beach time.

Wellness matters

At the heart of the Heritage Line Ylang experience lies a commitment to holistic well-being. Immerse yourself in rejuvenating wellness practices curated to restore balance and vitality. From sunrise yoga sessions on the sundeck to soothing spa treatments in the onboard sanctuary, every aspect of your journey is crafted to elevate your sense of wellness.

Morning Tai Chi

Let the soft warmth of the morning sun and the salty sea breeze elevate your morning Tai Chi on the Upper Deck. A beloved practice across Asia, Tai Chi is a wonderful way to enliven your body with slow intentional movements that will make you feel more connected to yourself as well as the splendour around you.

Private Yoga sessions

Going for a more intimate mindfulness experience? Private yoga sessions can be arranged in the Wellness Studio or on the sun deck—a wonderful choice for when you’d like to enrich this experience with the beauty of the sunrise or sunset.

Spa Therapies

Aboard Ylang is a multi-room spa where every moment is dedicated to your wellness and relaxation. If you’re travelling with your special someone, they also have couples treatment rooms where you can simultaneously enjoy the sensational spa offerings.

Reflexology

Indulge in the ancient art of healing through your palms, the soles of your feet, and even your ears where every gentle touch reflects a symphony of wellness throughout your body. Expert reflexologists onboard carefully navigate reflex points that promote balance and positive energy, leaving you recharged after the experience.

Seaside cuisine aboard a luxury cruise

Wellness takes centre stage in Ylang’s menu creations. Every morning, you’ll be greeted by a generous breakfast buffet to energise your senses for your adventures or relaxation journeys throughout the day. Offering Western classics and local favourites made with the freshest local produce, you’ll be off to a refreshing start with the onboard culinary offerings. An à la carte menu with multiple-course meals also makes for an unforgettable dining experience that will tickle your tastebuds with the flavours of Vietnam.

You can also enjoy the delightful offerings onboard in the peace and quiet of your own balcony as you cruise along the bay—a wonderful choice for special occasions or romantic holidays.

Experiences

Wellness Studio

A tranquil space where you can practice Tai Chi, yoga, meditation, and mindful tea ceremonies. Aboard Heritage Line Ylang, relaxation of both your body and mind go hand in hand inside spaces dedicated to stillness and being in the moment.

Library

Step into an Indochine salon reminiscent of the olden days when simpler and meaningful pursuits occupied one’s time. Grab a book, take your spot on one of the comfy sofas, and enjoy the serene ambience and elegant flair brought by the room’s collection of artefacts.

Beach Time

Another reason why we love Heritage Line Ylang is that they live by the “at your own pace” motto, in line with our goal of letting you Explore and Restore by doing as little or as much as you please throughout your holiday. Go sunbathing, have a beach picnic, or simply enjoy beach time as Ylang is anchored near one of the secluded beaches.

Boutique Shop

Apart from taking your mindfulness practices honed aboard home, you can also find artisanal Vietnamese pieces inside Ylang’s Boutique Shop. Whether it’s a gift for someone back home or something to commemorate your holiday, the fine silks and inspired delicate keepsakes here will remind you of your time aboard Ylang.

Steam Bath and Sauna

After a day of exploring, relax your muscles in the steam bath and sauna. This is the perfect spot to head to after the on-shore cycling excursion, should you choose to have that as part of your activities.

Squid Fishing

Adventures don’t end when the sun sets… try your luck at squid fishing, a nighttime experience that the Ylang crew can help you enjoy. Catch some squid if you can, and the crew will cook it to perfection for you. Can’t get any fresher than this.

Restful sleeps

Wake up every day with a different majestic view. Heritage Line Ylang transports you to a realm of wonder amidst Vietnam’s limestone karsts and glittering azure bays.

Signature Suite

The Signature Suite is a realm of unmatched luxury and serenity on the sea, designed to offer you an exclusive retreat. Elegantly furnished with a blend of Yang’s motifs and modern comfort, the suite opens up to breathtaking views of the ever-changing panoramas of Lan Ha Bay—glittering in the sun and moonlight. Situated on the Main Deck, the Signature Suites come with a furnished private balcony and sofa lounge area where you can enjoy traditional teas and magnificent views. Our favourite feature? The relaxing bathtub with special soda spa water filtered through lava stones.
