A perfect couple's escape
Elena - United Kingdom
Discover the wonders of Halong Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Natural Wonders of the World — aboard the elegant Ambrose Cruise. Operated by Halong Bay Cruises, this meticulously designed vessel offers the perfect fusion of contemporary luxury and the timeless charm of Vietnamese heritage.
Recently launched, Ambrose Cruise features spacious cabins with panoramic ocean views, curated for discerning travelers who value both comfort and authentic discovery. Every detail onboard — from world-class dining to immersive shore excursions — is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a seamless, memorable journey through the awe-inspiring seascape of Lan Ha Bay.
Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or cultural connection, the Ambrose Cruise Full-Day tailors every moment to your desires. Book your voyage with Halong Bay Cruises and experience Halong Bay like never before.
Step into an elegant dining space where floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows frame the breathtaking scenery of Halong Bay. Ambrose Cruise's main restaurant features a grand stage, a large LED screen, and an integrated bar — the perfect setting for an indulgent midday buffet. Savour over 30 dishes crafted from the freshest local seafood and traditional Vietnamese favourites, all served in a sophisticated atmosphere that blends contemporary design with the natural beauty of the bay.
Named for the feeling it evokes, the Ocean's Embrace Lounge Bar & Coffee is your sanctuary for relaxation between excursions. Sink into plush armchairs, sip a handcrafted cocktail or a Vietnamese coffee, and let the sweeping bay views wash over you. With its warm lighting, rich wood interiors, and gentle piano ambience, this lounge is where memories linger long after the journey ends.
Perched on the top deck, the sun-drenched open-air terrace is one of the most beloved spaces aboard. Lush artificial grass, comfortable lounge chairs, and parasols create a resort-like atmosphere high above the emerald waters. A beautifully designed photo backdrop lets you capture picture-perfect moments with Halong Bay's iconic limestone karsts as your backdrop — no filter needed.
One of the crown jewels of Ambrose Cruise, the outdoor infinity pool seems to merge seamlessly with the bay itself. Available year-round, the heated Jacuzzi is the perfect place to unwind after a cave visit or kayaking excursion. Float with a cocktail in hand as the golden light of Halong Bay shimmers around you — a moment of pure luxury at sea.
As the cruise makes its way back to port, the real celebration begins. The Sunset Party transforms the sundeck into a vibrant open-air gathering, complete with complimentary fruit juices, fresh seasonal fruits, light pastries, and prawn crackers, all set to the rhythm of live music. Whether you raise a glass with newfound friends or share a quiet moment watching the sun melt into the bay, the Sunset Party is the unforgettable finale to your day on the water.

We had an amazing experience on the Ambrose Cruise, made even better by Halong Bay Cruises' seamless booking process. The staff was professional, friendly, and genuinely caring. I especially loved watching the sunrise from our balcony — the view was absolutely perfect.
This was, without a doubt, a once-in-a-lifetime trip! The activities were outstanding, the food was fantastic, and the level of service was exceptional. Our butler Minh was warm, attentive, and full of charm. My husband particularly enjoyed the onboard activities. A heartfelt thank you to the entire crew!
A truly immersive experience and a perfect way to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From start to finish, everything about the Ambrose Cruise exceeded our expectations. We gave it a glowing review without hesitation.
Elegant, luxurious, and impeccably run. The butler was incredibly sweet and attentive, making sure every moment was special. If you're considering a Halong Bay cruise, look no further than Ambrose.
Wow — what an experience! Booking through Halong Bay Cruises was smooth and effortless, and the onboard staff delivered incredible customer service throughout. Our personal butler, Ha, was lovable, friendly, and went above and beyond — he even prepared a surprise fruit and snack platter in our cabin after activities. Worth every single moment.
My husband surprised me with this luxury trip, and it was absolutely perfect. The weather was mild, the staff were wonderful — one even taught me how to fish for squid, which I then grilled on deck with my husband! An unforgettable and uniquely Vietnamese experience. Overall, a brilliant trip.
We had a fantastic time exploring Halong Bay's caves, and the onboard buffet dinner was a true highlight for our whole family. What we loved most was how flexible the itinerary felt — there was something for everyone. The food quality and variety were exceptional, the cruise itself was luxurious, and the staff were top-notch. We'll be back for sure — see you again, Ambrose!

Jayna Edwardson,
United StatesI've had the chance to try several cruises in Vietnam, and Ambrose Cruise stands in a league of its own. The voyage was charming, the amenities were first-class, and the food was absolutely delicious — we were delightfully full after every meal. The spa was high-quality and deeply relaxing. A special thank-you to Luan, our attentive and warm-hearted staff member who went above and beyond. I will absolutely recommend this cruise to everyone!
