Morning light slices across limestone towers as the Ambassador’s two-floor sundeck slides away from Bai Chay harbor. Guests spread across teak and loungers, the open-air Jacuzzi fizzing, while the ship threads a channel of karst islands that rise like old cliffs out of the green water. It’s a day designed to see Halong Bay at an easy, upscale pace.
