Onboard Amenities
Overview
Ambassador Cruise is the ship that raised the bar for Halong Bay luxury: a 5-star steel vessel with 46 cabins — every single one with a private balcony or terrace — and the most generous cabin sizes in the bay. Its signature is the enormous 800 m² sundeck with a live saxophone sunset party as the karsts drift past.
Sailing the classic Halong route from Tuan Chau Marina, the 2-day itinerary combines Sung Sot Cave, kayaking or bamboo-boat rowing at Luon Cave, sunrise tai chi, and refined Vietnamese-international dining — a polished first-timer's Halong experience.

Day-by-day breakdown of your journey.
11:45 - 12:30 | Check-in at Tuan Chau Marina
Welcome drink and safety briefing as the ship casts off into the bay; settle into your balcony cabin.

Set-menu lunch of Vietnamese and international dishes while cruising past the Kissing Rocks and Dog Islet toward the Bo Hon island group.

Walk the chambers of the bay's largest cave — thousands of stalactites under a 30 m ceiling, with a postcard viewpoint over the anchorage at the exit.
17:15 - 18:30 | Sunset Party
Ambassador's signature: live saxophone, happy-hour cocktails, and canapés on the 800 m² sundeck as the light turns gold over the karsts.

Frequently asked questions
About Ambassador Cruise Halong Bay.
What makes Ambassador Cruise different from other Halong Bay cruises?
Every one of its 46 cabins has a private balcony or terrace, cabin sizes are among the most generous on the bay (the entry Deluxe is 32 m2), and its signature is the sunset party with live saxophone on the 800 m2 sundeck. It sails the classic route from Tuan Chau Marina with Sung Sot Cave and Luon Cave on the itinerary.
Which cabin should I choose?
Deluxe Balcony ($390 per cabin for two, 2 days 1 night) is the entry pick and at 32 m2 is still among the largest standard cabins on the bay; Premium Balcony ($430) is the same size on decks 2 and 4 with higher, less obstructed views. Upgrade to the Captain Suite ($560) or Ambassador Suite ($620) for a private terrace and a bathtub, or the deck-4 Presidential Suite ($1,250) with panoramic views and a private dining area.
Are prices per person or per cabin, and do I have to pay when I book?
Prices are per cabin for up to two guests (the Family Connecting option is $760 for two joined cabins sleeping four); solo travelers usually pay a single supplement rather than the full double price — ask for the current solo rate on your date. You can book online now and pay now or later: the team confirms by email instantly, and coordinates payment by email or WhatsApp.
What time does the cruise start and finish?
Check-in at Tuan Chau Marina runs 11:45 AM-12:30 PM — be at the marina 30-45 minutes before boarding, as late arrivals can miss the tender boat — and you disembark at 10:30 AM the next day after brunch. Most departures also sell a 3-day 2-night version at roughly 1.7-1.8x the 2D1N fare; contact us for a quote on your dates.
What's included in the price, and what costs extra?
All meals (lunch, dinner, light breakfast and brunch), the Sung Sot and Luon Cave excursions with entrance fees, kayaking or a bamboo-boat ride, the sunset saxophone party, sunrise tai chi and an English-speaking guide are included. Drinks beyond complimentary water, spa treatments, tips and Hanoi-Halong transfers are extra. Note that Sung Sot Cave involves 100+ steps, so bring flat shoes.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel more than 30 days before departure for a full refund minus a USD 10 per-cabin handling fee; 15-30 days before departure you get a 50% refund; less than 15 days before departure there is no refund. If the Bay Management Board cancels a sailing for rough weather (mainly the Jun-Sep typhoon season), you receive a full refund or free rebooking.
How do I get to the cruise from Hanoi?
Transfers are optional and priced separately: shared shuttle vans from about $13-15 per person each way, or private cars from around $65. Pick-up (usually 8:00-8:30 AM from the Old Quarter) is timed to match your cruise check-in — just add the transfer when booking.
Is this cruise suitable for children?
Yes — the Family Connecting Cabin ($760) joins two Deluxe cabins with a connecting door and sleeps four, and kayaks take children from about 6 years with a parent. Children under 4 typically cruise free sharing a bed with parents, while ages 5-11 pay a child rate on an extra bed — confirm the exact policy at booking.
