Description

Discover the stunning natural beauty and cultural richness of northern Vietnam with the Ambassador Signature Cruise, offering a luxurious and immersive journey through both Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay.

Lan Ha Bay is renowned for its tranquil, unspoiled waters, offering a peaceful alternative to the more tourist-frequented Ha Long Bay. In September 2023, the 45th World Heritage Committee expanded the UNESCO World Heritage designation of Ha Long Bay to include the Cat Ba Archipelago, officially recognizing Lan Ha Bay as a World Heritage Site.
