Dragon Pearl Cave x Ambassador Day Cruise
HERITAGE ESCAPE
Sail among the pearls by day. Dine where the last one was hidden.
Some places are worth crossing a continent for. This journey gives you two of them before the day is out. The morning belongs to Halong Bay — a premium cruise through the thousands of limestone islands that legend says were once a dragon’s scattered pearls. The evening belongs to the cave where the final pearl was hidden: a natural cavern 150 million years old, where dinner is served beneath the stone while the legend unfolds in light, music and live performance around your table. Indian-friendly menus prepared on request. Transfers arranged from start to finish. One day, and nothing left to organise.
