Halong Bay cruise overview
Ambassador Cruise is a 2021 ship with 46 cabins, one of the largest on Halong Bay, from $165 per person.
Prices are the same all year
Every cabin holds one price across both seasons: Deluxe $165, Premium $175, Suite $210, Captain Suite $220, Presidential Suite $340, and the three-person Deluxe Triple at $490 for the room.
On a Halong ship that is rare. Most raise prices in December and January. Ambassador does not, which makes it a straightforward option for high season dates.
Where the money actually goes
Deluxe and Premium are both 30 sqm at $165 and $175. Suite and Captain Suite are both 38 sqm at $210 and $220. In each pair the extra $10 is position, not space.
So there are really three decisions on this ship: 30 sqm, 38 sqm, or the 90 sqm Presidential at $340.
Families
Deluxe Triple is 30 sqm for three adults, sold per cabin at $490 rather than per person.
On board
Restaurant, bar, sundeck, wifi, a spa (treatments cost extra), an outdoor jacuzzi pool on the sundeck, cooking class and kayaking.
Before you book
Forty-six cabins means a busy ship, with meals in sittings. If you want something quieter on Halong Bay, Hera has 11 cabins from $103 and Lily has 20 from $130, though neither is as new or as well equipped.
Is Ambassador Cruise worth it? Our 2026 verdict
Ambassador Cruise is a 5-star cruise on Halong Bay with 46 cabins. It is worth it if you want what it does best: every cabin has a private balcony. The main thing to weigh up: 46 cabins makes it a big ship, so expect more people at each activity.
Good reasons to pick it
- Every cabin has a private balcony.
- Family rooms are sold per room, not per head: Deluxe Triple (3 pax) takes 3 guests for $490 in total from May to September, about $163 each.
- Even the entry cabin is 30 m².
- It also runs a 3 days 2 nights trip, from $322 per person (May to September).
Worth knowing before you book

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.
Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
