Accommodation

Private quarters aboard this vessel are conceived with timeless maritime elegance, epitomized in the Ambassador Suite. Spanning a generous 45 square meters, the suite is bathed in natural light that dances across rich dark-wood paneling and floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass. Beyond lies a private sun terrace, offering a sanctuary of indulgence.

Here, guests can recline in absolute seclusion, the gentle steam rising against the dramatic tableau of Ha Long Bay’s drifting limestone peaks. As twilight descends, the terrace transforms into a stage of serenity: the glow of sunset reflecting on the water, the hush of waves lapping below, and the silhouette of ancient karsts standing sentinel in the distance. Every moment within this suite is designed to envelop its occupants in a cocoon of privacy, luxury, and the poetic grandeur of the bay itself.

Dining

Gastronomic offerings onboard are thoughtfully curated to delight every sense throughout the voyage. At sunrise, a sumptuous buffet breakfast awaits, complete with live egg and noodle stations where chefs prepare fluffy omelettes and steaming bowls of fragrant phở to order. The spread is complemented by a vibrant selection of crisp salads and seasonal fruits, ensuring a refreshing start to the day. As the sun ascends, suite guests may retreat to the privacy of their balcony for an elegant two-tier afternoon tea service (suite guests only), featuring delicate artisanal pastries, handcrafted sweets, and freshly picked fruits of the season — a refined indulgence framed by the gentle rhythms of the bay.

As dusk settles over the bay, dinner evolves into a refined multi-course dining experience. The atmosphere is heightened by live entertainment — a soulful singer accompanied by a single musician — weaving romantic melodies that drift gently through the evening air. Highlights of the menu include an exquisite Herb-Cured Duck Breast, delicately infused with Japanese ume liqueur and balanced by the crisp bite of pickled daikon, a dish that harmonizes richness with refreshing clarity. Equally captivating is the flawlessly Roasted Sea Bass, its tender flesh paired with a classic ratatouille and enlivened by a vibrant saffron sauce, creating a symphony of flavors that mirrors the elegance of the setting.
