The strong development of the beach resort industry in Vietnam in recent years has paved the way for the emergence of international travel agencies. In that wave, Asia Luxury Cruise Group Joint Stock Company (APC Corporation) has quickly affirmed its leading position, not only by the scale of investment capital but also by modern management thinking. With its predecessor, Asia Premier Cruises, the group has established a new standard for the luxury cruise segment, turning each cruise into a true artistic experience on world natural heritage areas such as Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay. The operating philosophy of this ecosystem is encapsulated in the message “Your Ambassador to the Wonder” – The guide to wonders. This is not only a slogan but also a guideline for the long-term strategic vision of APC Corporation. The group has set an ambitious roadmap with the goal of expanding its fleet to 30 ships by 2045. This vision not only reflects strong financial potential but also shows a sustainable commitment to building a large-scale mobile resort ecosystem, capable of bringing Vietnamese brands to compete fairly with competitors on the world’s super-luxury tourism map. Notably, the professionalism and service standards of the Ambassador fleet are also reinforced through a close link in brand standards with Ambassador Cruise Line – a prestigious cruise line from the UK that has just won the Triple Gold award at the British Travel Awards 2025. This interaction ensures that every detail on the ship, from operating procedures, maritime safety to service style, reaches international sophistication and class. It is the methodical management platform and foresight that has helped the Ambassador ecosystem become the preferred choice of nearly one million visitors over the years.
The Ambassador fleet is built on a clear product differentiation strategy, allowing APC Corporation to fully meet all segments of the needs of high-class customers. The starting point of this ecosystem is Ambassador Cruise I, a classic overnight symbol on Ha Long Bay. With a structure of 46 luxurious cabins and a maximum double sundeck, this ship focuses on providing a stable resort space where guests can enjoy the beauty of heritage in a traditional luxury style. This is the top choice for those looking for a balance between professional service and spacious relaxation space in the heart of the bay. In contrast to the quietness of overnight cruises,Ambassador Day Cruise IIis considered an entertainment “beast” and the technical pride of the fleet. With a huge capacity of up to 600 guests, this is the largest sightseeing and dinner cruise line in Vietnam. This ship sets unique entertainment standards at sea with a large “Love in the Bay” stage and a 5-meter glass bridge extending from the bow of the ship. Ambassador II’s presence is not simply a means of transportation but has become a cultural destination, a meeting place for music, lights and the busiest high-class parties on Ha Long Bay. The final piece and also the most delicate note in the ecosystem is the Ambassador Signature. Positioned in the “Boutique Luxury” style, this yacht marks the group’s strategic shift to the peaceful waters of Lan Ha Bay. With a limited number of just 39 cabins, Ambassador Signature abandons the hustle and bustle to focus entirely on privacy and deeply personalized experiences. If Ambassador II is a display of scale and entertainment technology, Signature is an affirmation of class in sophistication, where each guest is cared for by dedicated butler service and enjoys premium Michelin menus in a tranquil resort space.
Launching in 2023,Ambassador Signature Cruisequickly established its position as a “mobile masterpiece” in the heart of Lan Ha Bay heritage. With impressive specifications including a length of nearly 70m, a width of 13.5m and a height of 13m, this ship is one of the largest overnight cruise ships in the region. Despite its huge size, the yacht still prioritizes absolute privacy with only 39 luxury cabins for a maximum of 120 passengers, ensuring each space brings spaciousness and sophistication to each individual. The design language of Ambassador Signature is an artistic intersection between the elegance and mystery of East Asia and the elegance of French colonial architecture. This combination not only creates a classy appearance but also brings a warm, cozy feeling. Every interior detail from natural wood, marble to the lighting system is meticulously cared for, turning each area on the ship into an artistic stop, where visitors can find relaxation right from the first eye contact. The onboard utility system is thoroughly invested to serve the most demanding needs of the upper class. The highlight is the Piano Lounge area of nearly 140 square meters, where visitors can immerse themselves in melodious melodies and enjoy premium cocktails. In addition, the Signature restaurant with an area of more than 220 m2 is a place to showcase the unique Michelin culinary skills at sea. The resort experience is also extended at the 360-degree Sundeck area – the most ideal place to fully capture the beauty of the bay, or at Atelier de Beauté, a high-end Spa area using products from the famous Sothys Paris brand to bring the most complete health care moments.
One of the biggest perks when choosing to stay on the Ambassador Signature cruise ship is that every room category is designed with a separate balcony, ensuring an unlimited connection between people and nature. For couples looking for a private and romantic space, the Ambassador Balcony and Executive Balcony room categories are the optimal choice. While the Balcony class on the first floor brings a feeling of closeness to the water, the Executive Balcony class on the second floor opens up a more open view from above. Both have a modern, sophisticated design style, allowing visitors to breathe in the fresh air of the sea right on their porch every morning. Taking luxury to a new level, the Ambassador Balcony Suite room class offers a perfect resort experience with the appearance of a separate terrace instead of the usual balcony. The expensive highlight of this room class is the bathtub located next to the large glass window, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in warm water while relaxing and admiring the beauty of the undulating limestone mountains on the bay. This is a tailor-made space for those who want to enjoy luxury in every smallest detail of their vacation. However, the symbol of the highest level of accommodation on the ship is the Captain’s View Suite. Located at the bow of the ship on the second floor, this room class has a wide-open glass door system, providing a 180-degree view of the entire direction of the yacht’s movement. Here, the boundary between living space and nature seems to be blurred, helping visitors experience the feeling of a true captain mastering the journey to discover the wonders of Lan Ha. To complete the chain of luxury experiences, the 24/7 butler service is the personalized “touch point” that makes a complete difference compared to conventional cruise lines. Our team of professional butlers are always ready to assist with every need from packing luggage, booking spa appointments to organizing private celebrations right in the room. This dedication and thoughtfulness ensures that each cruise on the Ambassador Signature is not just a mere sightseeing trip, but a vacation that is fully cherished and cared for.
The most obvious difference that helps Ambassador Signature establish its position in the hearts of connoisseurs is its unique culinary philosophy, completely eliminating the stereotype of mass buffet meals often found on large cruise lines. Instead, Signature restaurant focuses on a premium A la carte menu, where each dish is a work of art meticulously cared for from ingredient selection to creative Asian-European Fusion processing techniques. Under the strict supervision of chefs knowledgeable about Michelin standards, diners will be led on a rich taste journey, where fresh seafood from the Gulf is enhanced by sophisticated Western cooking techniques. This taste journey often begins with delicate appetizers such as Wagyu Beef Salsa or Smoked Salmon Tart, providing a gentle yet impressive stimulation. The highlight of the party is the “signature” dishes that have made the cruise ship famous, typically grilled lobster with fragrant garlic butter sauce or grilled beef tenderloin served with rich wine sauce. In addition, dishes such as duck breast burned with Cognac wine or Mekong crayfish braised with seafood vermicelli are also options not to be missed, demonstrating the perfect combination of international culinary quintessence and unique local flavors. Not stopping at taste, the culinary experience here is also a resonance of all senses in a luxurious and cozy space. While enjoying classy dishes, visitors will be immersed in the melodious melodies from a live Filipino band. The combination of the restaurant’s magical lighting, lively music and top-notch flavors creates an upscale dining atmosphere, turning every dinner in the heart of Lan Ha Bay into an unforgettable memory in the journey to discover heritage.
Different from the hustle and bustle of regular tours, Ambassador Signature’s cruise is designed according to the philosophy of “slow travel”, taking visitors to the most peaceful corners of Cat Ba Island and Lan Ha Bay. The first highlight of the journey is Viet Hai Ancient Village – an isolated village deep in the valley of Cat Ba National Park. Here, instead of noisy motor vehicles, visitors will experience cycling on winding roads through lush green forests, visit traditional beekeepers and learn about the rustic lifestyle of local people. In particular, the experience of foot massage with fish at a natural lake is a unique relaxing “specialty”, helping to dispel all fatigue and connect visitors closer to pristine nature. The journey to discover the majestic beauty of the bay continues at Dark and Bright Cave, one of the caves with the most impressive geological structure in the heritage area. With a unique “frog jaw” shape and sparkling stalactites hanging down from the cave ceiling, this place opens to a quiet lake surrounded by steep cliffs. Visitors will be able to sit on bamboo boats steered by local fishermen, gently gliding through the cave entrance to admire the magical interplay between light and darkness. The space here is absolutely quiet, with only the gentle sound of oars splashing water, bringing a feeling of relaxation and allowing visitors to fully absorb the original beauty of the “paradise pearl island”. Besides discovery activities, wellness elements are also subtly integrated throughout the trip to regenerate visitors’ energy. The morning on the bay begins with a Tai Chi exercise right on the sundeck, where visitors can breathe fresh air and catch the first rays of sunlight in the most calm state. To enhance the experience, the Atelier de Beauté area on board offers intensive spa treatments using premium Sothys Paris cosmetics. The combination of Swedish massage techniques or traditional acupressure with the aroma of natural essential oils helps awaken all senses, completing a classy vacation cruise, where body – mind – mind are all comforted in the middle of the vast ocean.

While not strictly enforced, to fully embrace the luxurious ambiance, we recommend a Smart Casual style. For evening dining at the restaurant, a light dress or a smart polo shirt will help you feel more confident when taking photos under the crystal chandeliers. Don't forget to bring swimwear to experience the direct waterslide into the sea – a signature feature of our Ambassador Signature cruises.
This is the biggest psychological fear. However, the Ambassador Signature is a robust steel-hulled cruise with a large displacement and modern aerodynamic design, ensuring an exceptionally smooth journey with virtually no rocking sensation like traditional wooden boats. If you are still concerned, we recommend choosing cabins on the 1st deck (Ambassador Balcony) for the most stable experience.
Lan Ha Bay offers a more 'secluded' and pristine experience compared to the bustling Halong Bay. While our cruise is equipped with satellite Wi-Fi, connectivity speed may vary due to the dramatic surrounding limestone karsts. We encourage this as a perfect opportunity for a 'Digital Detox' – allowing you to disconnect from screens and instead indulge in a rejuvenating massage treatment at our Atelier de Beauté to fully restore your energy.
Absolutely! With its 4-deck structure, the cruise features wide corridors and a modern elevator system (lift) to facilitate easy movement between guest cabins and amenities such as the Sundeck or Restaurant. Our staff is always ready to assist 24/7 to ensure all passengers have an equitable experience.
All incidental expenses (such as premium wines or Sothys spa treatments) will be charged to your room number. On the morning of your check-out day, you can settle your total bill at the reception desk using cash (VND/USD) or major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Please note that these charges will incur a service fee and VAT as per regulations.
Although positioned as a luxurious Signature cruise, children will absolutely love the direct waterslide system and experiential activities like kayaking or visiting Bright Cave & Dark Cave by rowboat. The onboard menu also offers kid-friendly options such as pasta salad and handcrafted pastries at the Dessert Corner.
Safety is APC Group's utmost priority. In the event that the Bay Management Board does not permit departure, the cruise will flexibly adjust the route or assist guests with date changes/cancellations according to the company's policy. Your peace of mind is more valuable than any trip, and Ambassador always has professional contingency plans for such situations.
