As a parent traveling with a child and on the lookout for memorable experiences that my kid and I can cherish together, the Ambassador Dinner Cruise in Halong Bay exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, it was an enchanting journey that left both Leonardo and I absolutely delighted. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing.
Welcoming Atmosphere
From the moment we stepped aboard the Ambassador Dinner Cruise, we were immediately greeted with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. The staff’s friendly demeanour and willingness to accommodate our needs set the tone for the evening. As a parent, it’s incredibly reassuring to see such attentiveness, especially when traveling with a young child.
The cruise sailed along the bay adjacent to the mainland to witness the glittering lights of Halong City and the colourful Bai Chay Bridge with its LED lighting.
Breathtaking Views
Halong Bay‘s natural beauty is truly mesmerising, and experiencing it from the deck of the Ambassador Dinner Cruise was a dream come true. The limestone karsts and emerald waters created a backdrop straight out of a fairy tale, which left Leonardo in awe and filled my heart with gratitude for this incredible opportunity.
Family-Friendly Activities
The cruise itself was a magical journey along the tranquil waters of Halong Bay. The city’s skyline at dusk provided a stunning backdrop, captivating Leonardo‘s imagination and sparking conversations about the city’s landmarks. The excitement in his eyes was worth every moment.
Delicious Dining
The highlight of the Ambassador Dinner Cruise evening was undoubtedly the dinner. We indulged in a lavish feast with two menu options: International cuisine, a selection of characteristic style cooking from many nations around the world; and Thai cuisine, highlights on casually prepared dishes with strong aromatic components and a spicy edge. Ambassador Dinner Cruis style is to create a recurring theme and change it every 2 weeks, and that particular week was dedicated to Thailand.
The variety of dishes served was impressive, catering to diverse tastes, including Leonardo‘s more selective palate. The waitresses were incredibly considerate, offering child-friendly options and chatting with Leonardo to make him feel at home. The fact that my child, who can be a picky eater, devoured his meal was a testament to the quality of the cuisine.
Entertainment Onboard
Entertainment onboard was equally engaging for all ages. From live music that had my child tapping their feet to mesmerising views that left us both in awe, there was never a dull moment. The crew went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and entertained throughout the cruise.
Attentive Staff
The crew on the Ambassador Dinner Cruise was not only professional but also incredibly kind and attentive. They interacted with my child, ensuring their comfort and happiness, allowing me to relax and fully enjoy the experience. As a parent, safety is always a top priority. I was thoroughly impressed by the cruise’s attention to detail when it came to safety measures. Their dedication to providing top-notch service was evident in every interaction.
Unforgettable Sunset
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over Halong Bay, the sense of serenity and tranquility was palpable. This all changed when we transferred to the 4th floor Sundeck to enliven the night and enjoy an evening of music and dance. The stage first featured live music by the Filipino band. This followed by an upbeat DJ remix and hot dance performance by models and professional dancers. But the cherry on the cake was the appearance of the Thai ladyboys cabaret and dance. It was a fascinating and sizzling entertainment experience that my boy and I will not forget.
In conclusion, the Ambassador Dinner Cruise in Halong Bay is a must-do for parents looking to create unforgettable memories with their children. This enchanting experience offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, family-friendly activities, delectable dining, entertainment and genuine hospitality. It is a program suitable for both tourists and the local population looking for good food and fun. I am immensely grateful for the memories we made on the cruise and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a remarkable adventure with their loved ones.
