Dear Anita Nici, Thank you for your question. If you prefer the less touristy area and a modern style cruise, I would suggest you cruises to Lan Ha Bay such as Capella, Scarlet Pearl, Ambassador Signature, Stellar of the Seas, Genesis Luxury Regal, etc. In fact, there are lots of cruises at different price ranges, so it would be better if you share more details about your request. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Dear Lisa, Thank you for your question. Please be noted that the promotion only offers a free shuttle bus round trip Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi. Thus, from Haiphong - Halong, we can pick you up from Haiphong Airport at an extra cost. To meet the cruise schedule, please make sure to be at the Haiphong Airport at around 10:30 AM for the pick-up as the travel time is normally 45-60 minutes. May I also know your specific trip dates so we can check availability for you? Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! Best regards, Lily

Asked by Gordon 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Hi! I would like to book a trip for 4 adults (2 rooms), departing on 29th Dec 2022. We prefer a 3d2n trip. Will Elite of the Seas provide such a trip on that date? Or will there be any other luxury cruises providing 3d2n trip on the same date?

Asked by kim yoon hwan 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Dear, Is it possible for four people with infants? The date of birth is as follows. One was born in March 2017, and the other was born in April 2019. The maximum number of people in the reservation system is 2 adults and 1 child, but it seems that you can make a reservation for 4 people, so I'm asking because I'm confused. In other words, should I understand that 1 child is forc and the rest pays an additional 50%?

Hi I see that on most cruises the transfer from Hanoi to the boat (and return) is excluded from the price. Do you provide this service at an extra cost, or do I have to make my own way to and from the boat ? -- Chris

Asked by Mel 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Hi there, I'm interested in booking Elite of the Seas 3D/2N cruise for 30th Nov - 2 Dec. As such, I just had a few questions: 1) Has the Elite of the Seas cruise started sailing yet? If not, when will it start? 2) Are there currently any other bookings for this dates? Just want to confirm that the cruise will sail on these dates. 3) The day 2 itinerary mentions "Early Evening Back to the Stellar of the seas cruises for sleeping area" - is this a mistake? Does it mean Elite of the Seas cruise instead since it is the one I'm booking?

Hi, I want to book for December but if you don't have any bookings then I run risk to lose opportunity to book elsewhere. What happens if there aren't many bookings? You cancel? I need to have a certain guarantee.

Dear Ms. Sandra, Thank you for your email. My name is Jolie from Halong Bay Tours department and I am very glad to assist you with your trip. We understand your concerns, however, this is the low season in Halong bay but almost of the cruises still operate everyday. December is the high season and especially, Elite of the Seas is a very hot cruise so I believe it is impossible that they cannot run because of lack of bookings. You do not need to worry about it. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

The transportation that the Elite offered freely for us was comfortable, it picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off on time. Our children found relaxation in the outdoor pool, and water temperature was pleasant. Toiletry was equipped in each bathroom, even the heater in the toilet worked to bring the unwind feeling to us. They also arranged for us to have a separate butler to do favors during our trip.
Having a short period time between activities.

2 days 1 night on Elite of the Seas was a dream. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, transferred to the gorgeous boat, and enjoyed sumptuous and well-presented food. The bed in the room was of excellent quality. Definitely recommend Elite of the Seas to our family!
