Ambassador Cruise is set to launch a new day cruise in Halong Bay. The day-long tours at the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Vietnam will be operated by Ambassador Day Cruise II beginning February 10.
The ship offers spacious sundecks across two floors that total 3,488 square feet and 2,690 square feet, affording 360-degree vistas of Halong Bay and its myriad limestone karsts. Two restaurants, two bars, an entertainment area for live music, and the large open-air jacuzzi are among the 45-cabin vessel’s facilities. The 16-foot glass bridge jutting from the vessel’s bow inspires compelling photographs.
The 500-ton five-floor steel craft with a basement measures 290-foot long, 52-foot wide and 62-foot high, making it the largest ship to ever ply Halong Bay’s waters with a total of 107,639 square feet of lettable space. Ambassador Cruise is the only Halong Bay cruise line to include an elevator system for the elderly and people with disabilities.
The itinerary includes exploration of Sung Sot Cave, a buffet lunch while the vessel’s route plies a passage by Ho Dong Tien Cave, Trong Cave, Me Cung Cave and Cua Van Floating Village. The cruise anchors off Titov Island whose scalable heights offer panoramic views of the bay. Afternoon tea is served on the vessel’s sundeck. Guests return to Halong International Cruise Port at 4:30 p.m.
A round-trip shuttle bus links Hanoi with Halong Bay via an expressway that opened in 2018, cutting the drive time between the destinations in half to two hours.
Nguyen Cao Son, founder of Asia Premier Cruises Corporation, which owns Ambassador Cruise, said February was the right time to launch the day cruise, following the world’s reopening and 2018’s launch of both the expressway and Van Don International Airport, located 31 miles from Halong Bay.
