Dear Megan Stewart, Ambassador Day Cruise is one of the largest and most renowned luxury day cruises in Halong Bay. It is considered a top choice for travelers who wish to explore the breathtaking bay while enjoying modern facilities, fine dining restaurants, and exceptional service. The well-planned itinerary covers key attractions within a day, so it is suitable for families and middle-aged travelers. Another advantage we think would be that the cruise docks at Halong International Cruise Port, thus it allows your family to reach easily from Holland America Line disembarkation. Kind regards, Tearis

Dear NJ, Please check the answer as below:

1. The cruise docks at the pier so you will get on directly at Halong International Cruise Port and do not need to join a tender to the cruise ship.

2. Due to the geography of Ha Long Bay, you will visit islands and caves, join activities by speedboat.

3. Unfortunately, one deluxe cabin can accommodate a maximum of 6 people and costs $60/cabin. Thus, I suggest you should book two cabins for your group to take a rest on board. If you would like to book, I will check the availability with the cruise and help to arrange this cabin accordingly.

Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
Susan
