We are considering a 2-day, 1-night cruise for March, choosing between Ambassador, which sails Ha Long Bay, and Mon Cherie, which focuses on Lan Ha Bay.
We would appreciate feedback on three main points:
-
The merits of a Ha Long versus a Lan Ha Bay itinerary.
-
Experiences with the Ambassador versus the Mon Cherie cruise company.
-
Whether cabin location (first deck vs. second deck) significantly impacts the experience on either vessel.
Any guidance for first-time visitors—a couple in their late sixties—would be highly valuable.
Thank you in advance.

One more vote for Lan Ha Bay, less crowded.
As mentioned; Lan Ha Bay is less crowded with boats and people than Ha Long Bay. Both are very scenic. Halong Bay is just more highly advertised.
