After breakfast, it’s time to leave Hanoi and head for one of the true natural icons of South East Asia — Ha Long Bay.

Before departure, the logistics are made easy. Only a small overnight bag is needed for the cruise, while larger luggage and golf clubs are securely handled for you. On arrival at the harbour, board the beautiful Ha Long Ambassador Cruise and settle into your elegant Deluxe Room, complete with sweeping bay views from your private balcony.

As the cruise sets off, the bay begins to unfold around you — limestone karsts rising from emerald water, quiet coves, and a landscape that feels almost surreal in its beauty. This evening is one of the signature moments of the tour. Enjoy welcome drinks and dinner onboard, with a menu featuring Vietnamese flavours alongside international favourites, all served in a refined dining setting surrounded by extraordinary scenery.

After dinner, head up to the deck for fresh air, stargazing, and a quiet moment to take in the stillness of Ha Long Bay after sunset.
