Experience luxury dining under the stars on Halong and Lan Ha Bays with leading boutique cruise operator Ambassador Cruise, featuring gourmet menus, live music, and panoramic views of Vietnam’s stunning seascapes.
A dazzling new dining experience has been introduced on the tranquil waters of Halong and Lan Ha Bays, offering guests the chance to enjoy gourmet cuisine beneath the night sky. Blending luxury, romance, and culinary artistry, the “Dining Under the Stars” concept transforms mealtime into a breathtaking event set against the majestic limestone karsts of these UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites.
The new ‘Dining Under the Stars’ concept on Ambassador Cruise’s overnight cruises features two menus, crafted by executive chef Nguyen Gia Thien, accompanied by live entertainment on the luxurious vessels’ elegant 360-degree sundecks.
Softly-lit, white tablecloth service and an incredible backdrop of myriad limestone karsts silhouetted against the night sky evoke a romantic atmosphere. Guests choose between international and Vietnamese dinner menus; both underpinned by fresh, premium ingredients.
As part of the five-course “Heritage By Night” menu, guests select two main courses from five gourmet options including roasted sea bass fillet with chorizo butter and zucchini emulsion, pan-seared beef medallion served with crispy potato and meat jus, and caramelized duck breast flambé with gnocchi and orange jus.
An opportunity to sample authentic traditional Vietnamese cuisine, the ‘Four Seasons’ menu includes the likes of deep-fried Halong squid cake with young sticky rice, marinated beef and pomelo salad, and stir-fried scallop with organic mushroom.
The Dining Under the Stars experience’s cherry on top is Ambassador’s international live band performing a medley of classic hits in English, Vietnamese, Korean, Indian and Filipino every day of the week except for Monday.
“Dining Under the Stars” is available for booking on all overnight Ambassador Cruise journeys in Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay. It will also be available on dinner cruises during summer months for an additional charge.
Since launching its first vessel in 2021, Ambassador Cruise has made a name for itself as the leading luxury cruise operator on Halong Bay. Its vessels include Ambassador I, Ambassador II, Ambassador Signature and Lavoya Boutique Day Cruise. Guests choose from a variety of journeys including overnight cruises of Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, day cruises, and dinner cruises.
