Embark on a refined journey through the stunning seascapes of northern Vietnam aboard the luxurious Ambassador Signature cruise ship. Enjoy Michelin-supervised cuisine and private balconies in every room. Explore both Ha Long Bay and the serene Lan Ha Bay, recently recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site expansion in 2023.

While Ha Long Bay, located in Quang Ninh province, is a popular destination filled with tour boats, neighboring Lan Ha Bay in Hai Phong province offers peaceful, untouched nature—a hidden gem with the same dramatic limestone karsts and emerald waters, but far fewer crowds.
