Ylang, the latest member of Heritage Line’s ship collection in Lan Ha Bay, features a splendid blend of Asian-Vietnamese design with French-Colonial accents. This ancient flair of Indochina emanates throughout the vessel with a delicate floral leitmotif inspired by local poetry and related to the four seasons of the year. Local artisans contributed to Ylang’s decoration with hand-crafted paintings and artwork using various materials and techniques. All suites are dedicated to a particular blossom which typically represents a season in Vietnam. All this creates an inimitable sense of bliss and an exceptional abode at sea.

Ylang has only ten spacious suites on two decks – each room is flooded with natural light pouring in through floor-to-ceiling panoramic doors which open onto a private balcony. What makes Ylang unique, is her expansive spa with its extensive selection of thoughtfully selected treatments. The focus on wellness lives on in the more dynamic activities such as yoga in a dedicated room, or early morning Tai Chi lessons on the upper deck.

REGENCY SUITES (PREMIUM)

Right at the bow of the ship, the two premium Regency Suites make up the most luxurious domiciles on Ylang. Over a floor space of 51 sqm (549 sqft), these suites feature a separated bedroom as well as a lounge with a sofa from where guests access the stunning balcony area. The setting of the private balcony (10 sqm, 108 sqft) in the very front of the ship, inclusive of an Jacuzzi, makes this suite truly unrivaled. The lavish bathroom with Italian marble and brass fittings offers both a free-standing bathtub and a shower with a stunning view of the passing seascape.

Each of these two suites is dedicated to a different flower and the season it represents. The “Royal Bamboo” suite’s elegant tones of dark blue and gold represent the summer season. Lacquer wall panels adorned with gold leaf in the bedroom and black ink paintings in the living room decorate this room.
The “Glory Daisy” suite’s gentle browns and reds accentuated with classic white daisy blossoms inspire memories of autumn. The impressive floral motives and transparent carvings add a sense of lightness to this suite’s chicness.
