About Stellar of the Seas Cruise
Peaceful, luxurious, and sophisticated, Stellar of the Seas Cruise crew always works carefully to create an authentic experience on your special visit to Halong. With an aesthetic design and luxurious vibe, it combines 22 elegant and spacious cabins on 1st and 2nd decks. Each cabin comes with a private balcony or large sun terrace and a bathtub.
A luxurious restaurant, a panoramic bar, a wine and cigars cellar and a mini golf club are just some highlights among numerous amenities. Set on the 3rd deck, the Stellar of the Seas dining restaurant has a capacity of up to 60 seats, both indoors and outdoors. With a romantic style, it offers a 5-star cuisine excursion on your plate.

Answered by Jolie | Dec. 08, 2020 04:28
Dear Malpani, Thank you for your email. Please note that all of the cruises can prepare vegetarian meals thus please kindly no worries about that. For the bus transfer, I am sorry that at this time Stellar of the Seas bus picks all the guests up at one meeting point which is 10 Phan Chu Trinh, Hoan Kiem only.

I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Jolie (Ms.)

Asked by Abdallah Hussein | May. 01, 2019 02:25
I am looking to take a 3 day, 2 night cruise in halong bay alone starting may 4th. I will be coming from hoi an. Is it advisable to fly to Hai Phong or to Hanoi airports? There is a flight that lands in Hai Phong at 10AM
Answered by Hana | May. 01, 2019 02:28
Dear Mr. Abdallah Hussein, Thank you for contacting us with your inquiry! You can take the flight that lands in Hai Phong at 10:00am, from there it is about 45 minutes drive to Tuan Chau pier where Stellar of the Seas depart from. However, I just want to caution you of potential flight delays and you may miss the trip. It is best that you arrive in Hanoi the day before and take the shuttle the next morning. Best regards,
Asked by Mrs kennard | Feb. 10, 2019 09:38
hi..... would like to book a cruise for3 day 2 nights around Sunday the 14/04/19 (14th April 2019) we are a family of 4 adults ( mum, dad and 2 tenagers age 15, 16) and 2 children age 7, 9 (total 6 people). I would like to book 2 junior suites next to each other with one double bed cabin other cabin with 2 larger beds. please confirm your actual departure date for this cruise,we would like a pick up from Hanoi hotel for all 6 family members .. and how long does it take to get from end of cruise arrival dock/marina to nearest airport being 'Hai Phong? as I want to get a connecting flight at 1 pm. thank you.
Answered by Hana | Feb. 10, 2019 09:39
Dear Mrs. Kennard, Thank you for your email and question! For your family, I recommend you to take 3 cabins in total as the price will be the same as 2 cabins plus 2 extra mattress. The cruise departs from Tuan Chau Pier and it takes around 45 minutes to get to Hai Phong Airport from there. I wonder if you can take a later flight? If you need to take flight at 1:00pm then it's a good idea to consider other cruises that depart from Hai Phong (and takes 20-30 minutes to get to Hai Phong Airport instead). For example you can consider Orchid Cruise: https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/orchid-cruise.html or Peony Cruise: https://www.halongbaytours.com/cruise/peony-cruise.html I hope this is helpful for you and please let me know if you have any questions! Best regards,
