India"Serene Titov Island"
One of the most relaxing parts of the Ambassador Day Cruise on Halong Bay was the stop at Titov Island. I took a short hike to the top, and the panoramic views of the bay were mesmerizing. It was the perfect place to just sit back and enjoy the tranquility of Halong Bay. After the hike, I also enjoyed swimming in the clear, calm water, which was incredibly refreshing. This stop really gave me a peaceful break from the busy cruise activities.

Canada"I loved lounging on the sundeck of Ambassador Day Cruise"
I’ve been to Halong Bay several times, but this was my first time on a cruise like the Ambassador, and it definitely did not disappoint. The boat is massive for a day cruise and has so many great features. I loved lounging on the sundeck there was so much space to relax and take in the views. Kayaking at Luon Cave was a highlight, but I wish we could have spent a bit more time there with overnight cruise. The food was excellent, especially the sushi and seafood dishes in lunch.
