The three-day, two-night cruise “brings together two breathtaking oceanic landscapes, exploring the northernmost reaches of the Gulf of Tonkin, each unique and captivating in its own right,” said Nguyen Cao Son, president of Asia Premier Cruises Corporation, owner of Ambassador Cruise.
On the inaugural day of the cruise, passengers embark upon the Ambassador Cruise 1, the largest and most opulent vessel in Halong Bay, boasting 46 spacious cabins with private balconies or terraces, two expansive double sundecks offering 360-degree vistas, a fine dining restaurant, an intimate piano lounge, stylish bars, an open-air hot tub pool, and a rejuvenating spa. Visitors to Titov Island are drawn to its striking crescent-shaped shoreline, as well as the breathtaking 360-degree vistas of Halong Bay from the island’s summit.
The next day, friends venture into Sung Sot Cave, Halong Bay’s largest and most impressive cave, marveling at the stunning stalactites as they explore its depths before docking at Halong Global Cruise Port to visit the iconic Quang Ninh Museum and other historic landmarks, including the revered Dong Pagoda. Housing a vast array of archaeological artefacts spanning prehistoric times to the contemporary era, the museum is also notable for harbouring Vietnam’s largest and most impressive whale skeleton.
As the sun dips below the horizon, passengers embark on an adventure through the pristine waters of Lan Ha Bay, charting a course for discovery and relaxation aboard the luxurious Ambassador Signature Cruise.
Innovative in its approach to cruising experiences, Ambassador Signature Cruise presents an unparalleled offering of 39 spacious cabins boasting private balconies or terraces, expansive sun decks, gourmet dining options, intimate piano lounges, well-stocked bars, rejuvenating spa facilities, and a sleek liquid slipway that effortlessly navigates guests towards the breathtaking emerald waters of Lan Ha Bay. Onboard, a sumptuous meal and a sophisticated selection of Michelin-standard suppers await diners at the vessel’s elegant restaurant. One of the standout attractions on the second day’s schedule is a visit to Viet Hai, a quintessential floating fishing village that offers a glimpse into the everyday routines of its residents.
On day three of our cruise, we embark on an unforgettable adventure as we navigate through the breathtaking Light and Dark Cave via bamboo watercraft or kayak. The cave’s dramatic stalactites create an unforgettable ambiance, ultimately unfolding into a serene lake nestled between towering limestone cliffs that command attention.
Colleagues can opt to start their second and third day at sea by participating in a serene tai chi session on the sun-kissed sundeck, followed by a gentle breakfast service at the intimate piano lounge and a full morning buffet at the main dining restaurant. Onboard, guests can indulge in Delighted Hour cocktails and canapés, enjoy live music performances, rejuvenate with spa treatments, and even try their hand at squid fishing – a unique experience available throughout the cruise.
“Why opt for just one when you can have both? The challenge lies in choosing between the breathtaking scenery of Halong Bay and the tranquil allure of Lan Ha Bay, as Cao Son astutely noted.” While exploring the world of adventure, we often receive inquiries about which bay stands out as a must-visit destination. Our answer remains straightforward: “One Adventure – Two Wonders”.
While often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay still attracts a significant proportion of visitors. While the two seascapes share similarities, Lan Ha Bay’s isolation and limited traveller access enhance its unique charm.
Since its inaugural voyage in 2021, Ambassador Cruise has established itself as the premier cruise tour operator on Halong Bay. With a fleet of three vessels – the Ambassador I, Ambassador II, and Ambassador Signature – Friends opt for a range of excursions, comprising overnight cruises, daytime sailings, and evening dining voyages.
