The Ha Long Bay cruise market has evolved considerably since I first sailed these waters in 2018. Some operators have raised their game; others are coasting on outdated reputations. Separating the two requires the kind of technical assessment I used to charge consulting fees for in Singapore.
Last updated: April 2026 — Cabin types, sizes, and amenities verified with operator.
Heritage Cruise features 20 cabins on Halong Bay. Here is a comprehensive breakdown of every cabin type, size, amenities, and which to choose for your travel style.
| Cabin Type | Size | Bed | View | Bathroom | Balcony | Price (2D1N) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deluxe Cabin | 22m² | King/Twin | Window | Shower | No | $155-235 |
| Premium | 28m² | King | Balcony | Bathtub | Yes | $210-300 |
Size: 22m² | Bed: King/Twin | View: Window | Price: $155-235/person
The Deluxe Cabin measures 22m² and features window views, and a shower bathroom. This is the entry-level option — clean, functional, and well-maintained.
Size: 28m² | Bed: King | View: Balcony | Price: $210-300/person
The Premium measures 28m² and features balcony views, a private balcony, and a bathtub bathroom. This is the top-tier cabin for guests seeking the ultimate luxury experience.
⚓ Marcus’s Verdict: Pro Tip: Book midweek for the best chance of a complimentary upgrade. Ask at check-in — many cruises upgrade when higher cabins are vacant.
The Premium (28m²) is the most luxurious option with bathtub and balcony views. For best value, we recommend the Deluxe Cabin.
No. Premium have balconies. Deluxe Cabin have windows but no private balcony.
Yes. Deluxe Cabin can be configured as twin beds. Request at booking time.

Numbers on a spec sheet do not tell the full story. Here is what you actually experience when you step into a cabin on the Heritage Cruise:
The entry-level cabin (22m²) is compact but intelligently designed — every square meter serves a purpose. The bed dominates the room (as it should on a vessel), and the mattress quality is noticeably above budget hotel standards. The bathroom is small but functional, with a hot shower that maintains consistent pressure even when the vessel is at full capacity. Storage includes a wardrobe, under-bed space, and a small safe for valuables.
