Ambrose Day Cruise Halong Bay

Ambrose Day Cruise Halong Bay – One of the Newest Infinity Pool Cruises in the Bay

Cruising Halong Bay for just one day? Ambrose Day Cruise pairs the bay’s must-see limestone scenery with a facility few day-cruise ships offer: a full 2nd-floor infinity pool, an open-air sundeck built for a proper sunset party, and a route that still fits in Sung Sot Cave, Luon Cave, and Ti Top Island before you’re back in Hanoi that night.

A Modern Indochina-Style Day Cruise with Sunset Party and Panoramic Views

Ambrose Day Cruise is a 99-guest, 3-deck day cruise in Halong Bay, one of the newest ships in the bay since its 2025 launch, best known for its signature infinity pool and lively sunset party on the open-air sundeck.

Rated 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor, Ambrose Day Cruise combines modern Indochina-style architecture with a full day of exploring the UNESCO World Heritage seascape of Halong Bay — from the stalactite chambers of Sung Sot Cave to kayaking beneath Luon Cave and a sunset swim stop near Ti Top Island.

Facilities & Deck Plan

Across its 3 decks, Ambrose Day Cruise packs in a swimming pool, an open-air sundeck, and an ocean-view restaurant and bar — giving guests several distinct spaces to enjoy Halong Bay’s limestone scenery throughout the day.

Infinity Pool

Located on the 2nd floor, the infinity pool is the signature facility of Ambrose Day Cruise — described by the ship’s own operator as its most special feature. Guests can swim and relax in the pool while taking in uninterrupted views of Halong Bay’s karst islands, a rare amenity among Halong Bay day cruises.

Sundeck & Sunset Stage

The 3rd-floor sundeck is fitted with lounge chairs and swing seats for sunbathing and sunset viewing, plus a dedicated event stage with sound and LED lighting used for the ship’s afternoon Sunset Party.

As the day tour winds down, the sundeck becomes the venue for live music, dancing, and drinks while the sun sets over the bay.

Restaurant & Lounge Bar

The air-conditioned, ocean-view restaurant seats the full 99-guest capacity for the onboard buffet lunch, while an adjoining lounge bar offers a relaxed space for drinks between activities.

Itineraries & Activities

The Ambrose Day Cruise itinerary runs a full day from Hanoi and back, combining onboard relaxation with guided stops at some of Halong Bay’s most iconic landmarks.

Guests are picked up from hotels in Hanoi’s Old Quarter between 8:00 and 8:30 AM for the roughly 2.5-hour drive to Ha Long International Cruise Port, where check-in and a welcome drink begin around 11:30 AM before the ship departs the port at approximately 12:10 PM.

A buffet lunch of fresh seafood and Vietnamese dishes is served on board from around 12:30 PM as the ship cruises past the bay’s limestone karsts. By 1:30 PM, guests disembark to explore Sung Sot Cave, one of the largest and most striking caves in Halong Bay, reached via roughly 250 steps up to the entrance.

Around 2:30 PM, the cruise stops near Luon Cave, where guests can choose to explore the tunnel and surrounding lagoon by kayak or traditional bamboo boat.

By 3:30 PM, the ship reaches Ti Top Island, where guests can climb to the viewpoint for a panoramic view of the bay or swim from the white sand beach.

The day wraps up with the Ambrose Day Cruise Sunset Party at around 4:30 PM — tea, cake, fresh fruit, and snacks served on the sundeck or by the pool as the sun sets over Halong Bay — before the ship returns to port between 5:30 and 6:00 PM for the shuttle back to Hanoi, with drop-off in the Old Quarter around 8:15 to 8:45 PM.

Itinerary times may change without prior notice due to weather conditions or decisions by the Halong Bay Management Board.

Dining & Culinary Experience

Lunch aboard Ambrose Day Cruise is served buffet-style in the ocean-view restaurant, featuring a spread of fresh seafood and traditional Vietnamese dishes alongside international favorites.

Presentation is part of the experience, with decorative fruit carving and a neatly set dining room welcoming guests back from each morning excursion.

In the afternoon, the Sunset Party buffet adds tea, cake, and fresh fruit — a lighter spread served on deck as the cruise heads back toward port.

Transportation from Hanoi

Round-trip transportation between Hanoi and Ha Long International Cruise Port is included with every Ambrose Day Cruise booking. A tour guide and driver pick up guests from hotels in the Hanoi Old Quarter between 8:00 and 8:30 AM, with the return shuttle dropping guests back in the Old Quarter between roughly 8:15 and 8:45 PM. Limousine pickup and drop-off can also be arranged for guests who book this upgrade in advance.
