Unveiling the "Heritage Journey" at ITE HCMC 2025

Grand Pioneers is set to introduce its distinctive product, the "Heritage Journey," at ITE HCMC 2025. This one-of-a-kind 3-day, 2-night itinerary uniquely connects Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay on a single cruise, affirming Grand Pioneers' pioneering spirit in opening new travel routes and promoting sustainable tourism.

Mr. Nguyen Duc Hiep, Grand Pioneers Cruise Sales and Marketing Director, emphasised the brand's philosophy: "We believe that a memorable journey isn't just about a great product, but also about the destinations and the stories they leave behind. Ha Long Bay and Bai Tu Long Bay, with its hundred-million-year-old pristine beauty, deserve to be reimagined with modern, sophisticated experiences that do not fade the traditional imprint."

Beyond this innovative itinerary, Grand Pioneers offers a superior guest experience. Known as the largest pair of cruises on Ha Long Bay, Grand Pioneers features modern, sea-facing cabins, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking beauty of the World Heritage Site.

More than a luxurious stay, Grand Pioneers also impresses with its exquisite culinary journey – a place where local ingredients are elevated by Western-style preparation, creating a highly emotional gastronomic voyage.

The cruise ships are engineered with a double bottom and double side shell design, complemented by maritime equipment that adheres to international standards.
