On the Elite of the Seas website, there is Free Flow during meal time, will that be included and is it the same 7 seat limo that would be driving us back from the Halong to potentially the Hanoi Airport? It is our 20th wedding anniversary and looking for something special to celebrate and wondering if worth the extra for Elite of the Seas.

Hi Cindy, I have checked with the cruise organizer:

1. Free Flow: Yes, Free Flow during meal times is included.
2. Limousine Service: The limousine bus service is included only for transfers within Hanoi center. Transfers from Ha Long to Hanoi Airport would incur an additional charge: $20/car for 2 people.

We hope you choose to celebrate your 20th wedding anniversary with us on the Elite of the Seas!

Best regards,

Dear Vinicius, I'm pleased to inform you that we can certainly arrange most of the food options you've requested for your child. This includes grilled, pan-fried, or roasted chicken, pork, or beef, served with either white rice or French fries for both lunch and dinner. We can also provide plant-based milk (gluten-free and soy-free), and either peanut butter or almond butter. However, I must inform you that we are unfortunately unable to guarantee gluten-free and dairy-free bread on board. While we strive to meet all our guests' needs, certain specialized items can be challenging to source consistently. Best regards, Hallie

Dear Samantha Lim, Your child of 3 y/o will be free of charge if he/she shares the bed with you. In case you need an extra bed, it is at an additional cost. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)

Asked by Arash Babaoff 1 year, 2 months ago

Dear friends at Elite of the Seas Your cruise looks fabulous! Just one question-- the four of us have to get to Cat Bi Airport (HPH) for a 1pm flight. How early is it possible to check out and get to shore? I know that the usual transport leaves at 11:10am. We would have to leave the port at Ha Long itself closer to 10:15am...meaning leaving the boat around 9:45am. Would there be transport available for us at around 9:45am? If not, what is the earliest transport we could get to the shore and how long does the transfer from boat to shore take?

Dear Arash Babaoff, Please be advised that Elite of the Seas Cruise finishes at 11.15am as soonest and if you take a private car, you will arrive at Hai Phong airport at 12.00pm and have enough time for your flight at 1.00pm if it is a domestic flight. However, if you want to get on the pier earlier, maybe at 10.00am, you can take a speedboat, 30 mins from the boat to the shore and it costs USD 100 - USD 150. Should you have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Cindy

We have a 5pm flight on February 8. Can the transport drop us at the airport or is there a way to hire a transport that will get us to the airport. Thanks! Jeff Jensen

Dear Jeff Jensen, The bus cannot drop off at Hanoi airport so I think you should take a private car to go directly from Halong to Hanoi airport. We can arrange a private car for you with a cost of USD 100 for 2 persons. Best regards, Cindy

10 out of 10. We booked the suite on the upper deck. It was clean, well equipped and spacious. The view of the bay was amazing all the way. The staff were super friendly and attentive. They must be very well trained. Love the tour to Cat Ba Island. Highly recommend everyone book 2 nights.

The best choice ever. We were so happy with 3 days 2 nights on Elite of the seas Cruise. The vessel was well furnished, clean and luxurious. The Staff made the trip more enjoyable with their dedicated service. Boo was outstanding, very caring and accommodating. We love the food, so fresh and eye-catching. Can’t say more words about it. Highly recommend!

Nice view. Spotlessly clean vessel and excellent facilities.
The activities should be longer. Kayaking was too short.

The whole trip was a spectacular experience. They went out of their way to make the booking process smooth. They arranged a shuttle directly from our hotel, we didn't have to go anywhere. From the moment we got on the boat, we were greeted warmly like home. Their full attention and time were spent taking care of us. Really grateful to the team David and Cici, always show up with a smile and attentiveness. They made sure we had a great meal, can't thank you enough. Each day on the boat was a blast. Thank you all.

The boat was clean down to the smallest detail. The meals were provided with a wide variety of choices. The staff went above and beyond and did everything they could to keep the activities running on time. Alee gave a lot of useful information about the destinations and activities.
