Luxury boutique cruise operator Ambassador Cruise launches a remarkable dining experience under the starlit skies of UNESCO World Heritage listed bays Halong and Lan Ha.
‘Dining Under the Stars’ concept builds upon the magic of Halong and Lan Ha bays by creating a one-of-a-kind sensory experience under a canopy of stars.
The concept features two menus, crafted by executive chef Nguyen Gia Thien. The guests can 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 dishes from 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.
