Ambassador Day Cruise: Excursão à Baía de Ha Long com Sung Sot e Ti Top

We had the best tour guide, Tu, and an amazing Ambassador Cruise experience in Halong Bay. The tour started with round-trip luxury bus transfers, and once in Halong Bay, we enjoyed delicious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon tea on the luxurious Ambassador Cruise. We also walked through a limestone cave, played on a sandy beach, and experienced canoeing, making it a very fun and fulfilling day. For those considering the many Halong Bay tours, you should definitely choose this one. The level of satisfaction is absolutely different. Our tour guide, Tu, was also very knowledgeable and humorous, and he wonderfully supported our family. We are very grateful. Please do visit Halong Bay with Tu and the Ambassador Cruise.

The weather was the best during my off-season trip to Hanoi, which made it a very enjoyable journey. Being able to see picturesque scenery left me with impressive memories of Hanoi. Although I was alone on board and felt a bit lonely, I was glad that a staff member who could speak Korean verbally explained things to me. The buffet had a wide variety of delicious food, but as an introvert who doesn't particularly like spices, I mainly ate vegetables. Then, the manager? seemed concerned and offered various food suggestions. Haha. I was so tired from starting early in the morning that I fell asleep during the last live performance, but it was still wonderful even with my eyes closed. Lol.

While the price was a bit higher compared to other tours, the lunch buffet was excellent, offering a wide variety of delicious dishes including meat and seafood. The tour was very comfortable overall, perhaps due to the large size of the boat, which minimized swaying. Onboard, each group was assigned a table where they could rest or eat throughout the cruise. We were on the 3rd floor, and the 4th floor was used similarly. Private rooms on the 2nd floor were also available for an additional charge. Our local guide, Lucky, organized everything very well from boarding to disembarking. Inside Sung Sot Cave, he used a laser for guiding, and his thoughtful attention during transfers allowed us to enjoy the tour with peace of mind. It was also great that we departed early, allowing us to visit attractions efficiently during less crowded times. After leaving Luon Cave, our final port of call, there was a live performance on deck. The setlist, featuring popular songs from the US, Vietnam, and China, was surprisingly enjoyable. We opted for round-trip transportation from Hanoi city, which took a full two and a half hours for the outbound journey and three and a half hours for the return. The bus had comfortable three-row seating with recliners, but I felt it would be good to plan how to spend the time during the journey.

The food was more delicious than eating out. Although the tour was a one-day itinerary, it was fulfilling and fun overall. I was worried about the language barrier and getting around since there weren't as many Koreans as I expected and it was my first time, but Ruby, the person in charge, spoke Korean well and guided me every time we moved, making it even more comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend trying it at least once, especially since there's a live show!🤗

Tuyệt vời trải nghiệm tour du thuyền trong ngày với Ambassador. Anh Hoàng đã đặc biệt chăm sóc chúng tôi và làm cho tuần trăng mật của chúng tôi thực sự đặc biệt. Một lời khen lớn cho món ăn Ấn Độ của họ, nó ngon hơn vẻ bề ngoài.

My day on the Ambassador Cruise was one of the best Halong Bay experiences I’ve had. From the music and food to the island hopping and kayaking, everything felt relaxing and well-organized. Tony’s service made it even better. The live band on the sundeck created a perfect backdrop as we sailed past the limestone karsts. It wasn’t loud just enough to make the scenery feel cinematic. Lunch on board was a highlight: a generous buffet with Vietnamese and international dishes. The itinerary covered the classic stops without feeling rushed. We visited Sung Sot Cave, stopped at Ti Top Island for a swim, and kayaked through the calm lagoon in the Luon Cave area. Tony stood out for his attentiveness and professional approach. He was quick to answer questions and helped coordinate activities smoothly. If you want a full-day Halong Bay cruise with good music, solid food, classic sights, and easy water activities, the Ambassador Cruise delivers. Tony’s service makes the experience personal.

There were so many cruise ships, and I was unsure which one to choose, but I'm truly glad I picked this one. I immediately noticed how exceptionally different it was from other ships. The dedicated check-in counter, luxurious vessel, high-quality food, activities, and the cruise staff were all wonderful and kind. I also used a private room, and it was so lovely that I wished I could have stayed for a night. The weather wasn't great, but the ship was so fantastic that I didn't mind at all. This cruise created the best memory of my Hanoi trip. If I ever go on another cruise, I would choose this ship again.

The Ambassador DAY CRUISE is top-notch and practical. However, prepare for a very hectic day. Be at the pick-up location at the specified time, sharp, driver will not wait. The cruise itinerary is not doable, unless you want to miss LUNCH (5-star world-class international buffet), or have a 20-30 mins. late lunch in a hurry. Upon disembarking at the Sung Sot Cave area, best to just look around and take photos for 10-15 mins. Board the ship again, get off at the next stop, look around and take photos for 10-15 mins., then board the ship again for Titov Island, look around and take photos of the beach, and board the ship again to return to the Ambassador, in time for lunch at 12:00 p.m. *The Sung Sot Cave is a beautiful cave. To climb: 40 mins. normal speed, no queue; more than an hour on a long queue. Exploring the Luon Cave sitting on a bamboo boat is enjoyable and quick, except for the heat. The activity starts at 1:30 p.m. If you will be out for all or most of the activities, a private cabin will be not much use, except for toilet breaks and the comfort and privacy it offers.

Peter was an amazing guide. Ambassador Cruise is one of the largest cruises in Halong Bay. Everything was planned like clockwork. The room we booked was clean and had a balcony which gave an amazing view of the bay as a whole and a private space to unwind after the activities. The buffet spread was quite adequate to accommodate all food types. The bamboo boat ride and the speed boat ride was a paid activity, but worth it. Just an advice, don't just take the bamboo boat ride; take the speed boat ride combo. Trust me that was the highlight of the trip.

This is the product my husband and I decided on for our independent trip to Vietnam. There were many cheaper options and so many choices that it was hard to pick, but we chose this one because the boat was large, the food was delicious, and it included live entertainment and service. The result was extremely satisfying. We were worried about the weather, but it was cloudy, so it wasn't too hot, and the sunlight was just right, making it pleasant to walk around. In particular, the young Halong Bay guide who led us from the bus spoke English well, seemed kind, and provided excellent, friendly guidance. Even though we couldn't understand English, thanks to the kind guides, it was a happy cruise trip. We'd even want to come again next time. The final live performance on the cruise was truly fantastic.
