Ambassador Day Cruise – The Largest Day Cruise in Halong Bay

Ambassador Day Cruise is an 8-hour, 5-star day cruise sailing Halong Bay aboard Ambassador Cruise II, recognized by VietKings in May 2025 as the largest day cruise in Vietnam with a 600-guest capacity, covering Sung Sot Cave, Titop Island and Luon Cave with breakfast and a premium lunch included. Rated 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor, Ambassador Day Cruise is one of the top Halong Bay day cruises for travelers who want a full-scale luxury experience on Halong Bay without an overnight stay.

Launched in February 2023 and operated by APC Corporation, Ambassador Cruise II is a 90-metre, 5-deck vessel with a gross tonnage of 500 tons and 10,000m² of usable space — the same ship also runs the shorter Ambassador Dinner Cruise in the evening. In May 2025, VietKings (the Vietnam Record Organization) awarded Ambassador Cruise II two national records: the largest day cruise in Vietnam (Ambassador Day Cruise, 600 passengers) and the largest outdoor live music show on a cruise in Vietnam (the evening program “Love in the Bay”).

Facilities & Deck Plan

Ambassador Day Cruise offers twin sundecks spanning 324 sqm and 250 sqm across two floors for 360-degree views of Halong Bay’s limestone karsts, two onboard restaurants (a 3rd-floor restaurant and a 4th-floor restaurant with a bay view), a well-stocked bar, an open-air Jacuzzi pool, the Atelier de Beauté Spa, and a signature 5-metre glass bridge extending from the bow for photos.

Onboard Staterooms

Ambassador Cruise II features 37 en-suite staterooms across three categories — Ambassador Deluxe (30 sqm, main deck), Ambassador Premium (30 sqm, upper deck) and Ambassador Suite (42 sqm, upper deck, bathtub) — each with a private balcony or terrace, walk-in closet and satellite TV. These staterooms are part of the ship’s facilities, but Ambassador Day Cruise itself is a day-trip product and does not include an overnight cabin stay; guests disembark the same day. Contact Halong Tour Expert to confirm current day-use stateroom options before booking.

Itineraries & Activities

Ambassador Day Cruise runs an 8-hour route around Halong Bay: check-in at Ambassador’s Lounge, Halong International Cruise Port, Bai Chay Ward, Halong City, followed by a light breakfast on board, a visit to Sung Sot Cave (the bay’s largest cave), a stop at Titop Island to swim or climb to the viewpoint, a premium lunch, kayaking or a bamboo boat ride at Luon Cave, afternoon tea, and live music on the sundeck before disembarking at 16:00.

Dining & Culinary Experience

Ambassador Day Cruise serves an international Asian-European menu across two restaurants, including a light breakfast and a premium lunch as part of the itinerary, complemented by live band music during meals. Sashimi, sushi and a signature Golden Beefsteak are among the dishes highlighted by the culinary team.

Transportation from Hanoi

Ambassador Day Cruise checks guests in at Halong International Cruise Port, Bai Chay Ward, Halong City. It takes about 2 to 2.5 hours to travel from central Hanoi via the Hanoi – Hai Phong – Halong Expressway, and shuttle bus transfers with hotel pickup are available for an additional fee.

Spa & Wellness

Ambassador Day Cruise’s Atelier de Beauté Spa offers massage and beauty treatments for guests who want to relax between excursions, in addition to the open-air Jacuzzi pool on the sundeck. Spa treatments are available at an extra charge and are best booked upon check-in.
