In 2023, over 10,000 tourists experienced the musical nights on the floating stage in Ha Long Bay - Love in The Bay by Ambassador Cruise. This special stage was mentioned by audiences as a unique destination in the bay, considered the newest and most innovative tourism product today, attracting many tourists to experience the heritage bay at night.
With the motto of leading trends and bringing many impressive tourism products to Ha Long, Ambassador Cruise officially collaborated with FPT Play to produce the program "Crossroads of Time - Love in The Bay" on the Ambassador Cruise stage in Ha Long Bay. This special collaboration marks the first time the "Crossroads of Time" program has been filmed on a Ha Long Bay cruise ship stage with audience participation in the live recording.
For the first time, the unique music program "Crossroads of Time" will change its filming concept to take place on the Ambassador cruise ship stage in Ha Long Bay, with the participation of 500 audience members, officially airing from June 2024.
The first episode on June 14, 2024, marking the collaboration between Love in The Bay by Ambassador Cruise and Crossroads of Time, will welcome two of V-Pop's most talented vocalists: Hoang Hai and Huong Tram. The two guests, along with their famous songs, will be accompanied by Music Director and Composer Duong Cam, who will present a series of brand-new arrangements specifically for these special nights.
“With our motto of always aiming for unique tourism products in Ha Long, we believe that the collaboration with FPT Play in producing the programs 'Crossroads of Time - Love in The Bay' promises to bring a completely different musical experience to audiences on the Ambassador cruise ship, and add more options for Ha Long night tourism.”
Musician Duong Cam is the Music Director and host of the program.
"While Love in The Bay by Ambassador Cruise made a mark in 2023 by continuously organizing mini-shows with many well-known singers, in 2024, we want to redefine our concept to be more unique, fresh, and professional, aiming to enhance the music listening experience for our audience," shared Mr. Nguyen Hong Nhat - General Director of APC Corporation, the operator of the Ambassador cruise ship.
Composer Duong Cam is the Music Director and host of the program. He is also a familiar face to viewers of the three seasons of "Crossroads of Time," with his arrangements achieving over 1 billion views across all FPT Play platforms. Sharing his thoughts on this collaboration and the special filming location, composer Duong Cam affirmed:
“The new challenge for me when creating the arrangements for the singers in season 4 was that the filming location wasn't in a studio, but outdoors with 500 audience members on a yacht in the bay. Unlike previous seasons of Crossroads of Time, which featured singers from different generations, the guests in season 4 are currently the hottest singers on music stages across the country.”
"Fresh new arrangements and unexpected 'hit swaps' would be perfect for an open-air stage on a cruise ship in Ha Long Bay, and I believe it will offer the audience the most unique musical experience."
This collaboration between Love in The Bay by Ambassador Cruise and Crossroads of Time demonstrates APC Corporation and FPT Play's desire for continuous innovation and change to conquer new products in tourism and music, contributing to the spread of many new values.
Subsequent episodes of Love in the Bay will feature collaborations with renowned vocalists such as Ha Tran, Phan Manh Quynh, Phuong Thanh, and Phuong Linh… The first episode will be broadcast in 4K quality on FPT Play at 8 PM on Saturday, June 22nd.
This unique stage is mentioned by audiences as a distinctive destination on the bay, considered the most innovative tourism product currently available, attracting many tourists to experience the heritage bay at night.
