Ambassador Day Cruise is the largest and one of the most luxurious day cruises in Halong Bay, launched in February 2023. With a capacity of 500 passengers across multiple decks, it offers twin sundecks with 360-degree panoramic views, dual restaurants serving Asian and European cuisine, an outdoor jacuzzi pool, and well-equipped private cabins available as an optional add-on.
The full-day itinerary departs from Halong International Cruise Port and takes in two of Halong Bay's signature highlights: Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) – the largest grotto in the bay – and Luon Cave, explored by traditional sampan or kayak through a natural archway into a hidden lagoon. A live music show on the sundeck rounds out the afternoon before disembarkation.
A luxury buffet lunch, afternoon tea, and light breakfast are all included. Kayaking is available for an extra charge, and private cabins can be booked for those who want a quieter space during the cruise.
