Hello ! We are a family of 4, my youngest kid wont sleep in separate cabin. Can we incorporate 2 adults and 2 children: 16 years & 11 years in single cabin we can manage with extra bed in the cabin. What could be the pricing then.
Dear Mr Dev, For your information, I wish to advise you that one room on Stellar of The Sea is fitable for 2 adults and one child below 11. Under the circumstances, may you consider taking the 2 cabins connected with each other. You will still have your own privacy and can still watch out for your children at the same time. Regards, Phoebe
Hi - we are hoping to travel directly from the Ha long bay cruise to Ninh Binh rather than via Hanoi. Would it be possible to arrange this as part of the tour? Conscious if we book it separately the timings may not work. Thank you
Dear Abbey, We can arrange a shuttle transfer directly from your Halong Bay cruise to Ninh Binh for $18/person. Best regards, Tracy
Hi We would like to stay a day or 2 more in Ha Long Bay after the cruise. Are you'll able to take us back to Hanoi after the 2 days or do we need to go back immediately afte r the cruise? Thanks
Dear Mageshni Narain, I am sorry that the free shuttle bus on the promotion Stellar of the Seas Cruise is only available on the check-in and check-out date.

Such a great relaxing trip! My husband and I chose Halong Bay at the end of our tour so we can totally unwind. It did not disappoint us at all. Comfortable bus transfer, friendly and attentive staff. Service was top-notch. No complaints! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience. Can’t wait to come back to this place. Everything was well organized and beyond our expectations. Just book it!
1 night on Stellar of the Seas exceeded our expectations. We were picked up from Hanoi, welcomed at the port, escorted to the boat, always taken care of by the team. Boo was the best of the best. Food and room were excellent. Wish we had booked 2 nights.

- President Suite (60 sqm): 3rd deck, back of the vessel, double bed, private sun terrace
Except for the most luxurious and largest cabin (President Suite), other room types are not much different in size and amenities. However, cabins on a higher level or at the back of the cruise will provide a better view or a panoramic view of Halong Bay that you will never regret.
What services or facilities are free of charge onboard?
The cruise price includes accommodation, all meals onboard, entrance and sightseeing tickets, an in-house English-speaking tour guide, kayaking, welcome drink, and drinking water set up in the room (one bottle per guest per day). Other beverages such as wine, cocktails, beer, juice,... and spa & massage services are charged upon usage.
As for facilities on Stellar of the Seas, you can feel free to use the 4-season swimming pool on the third deck, the mini-golf course, fitness room, fishing equipment for night squid fishing, board games, etc.
Which locations does the bus pick up guests?
The shuttle bus for Stellar of the Seas only picks up at your hotel or locations in Hanoi Old Quarter Area (Hoan Kiem district). If you are coming from Hanoi Airport (Noi Bai) or you do not stay in Hanoi Old Quarter, you can come to our office (Blue Dragon Tours) at 72 Hang Trong Street to get picked up.
The pickup time is between 8:15 - 8:45 am at your hotel lobby. If you are staying in an Airbnb or homestay in a small alley that the bus cannot access, the driver will contact reception and they will escort you to the bus. Please be ready at the pickup time for a smooth pickup.
Where is the cruise port? What time do I have to be there if I go to the port by myself?
Stellar of the Seas cruise departs from Tuan Chau Marina in Halong City, Quang Ninh. It is around 2.5 hours from Hanoi center, more than 1 hour from Cat Bi Airport in Hai Phong, and almost 1 hour from Van Don Airport in Quang Ninh by car.
The embark time is around 12:00 pm so you need to be present at the cruise port at Block 24, Tuan Chau Marina no later than 11:30 am for check-in. In case you cannot arrive at the cruise port in time, there will be a surcharge for a speed boat to pick you up from the port. Kindly inform the cruise operator as soon as possible for support.
Is there a floating village included in the program?
No. Not a floating fishing village but a local village on Cat Ba Island will be included in the 2-night program on Stellar of the Seas.
For 2 day-1 night itineraries, travelers will swim or kayak in a natural lagoon in Lan Ha Bay and visit Dark-Bright Cave by kayak or local sampan boat. For 3 day-2 night itineraries, a day boat will pick you up for the outdoor excursions on Cat Ba Island and further part of Lan Ha bay on Day 2. Visitors can cycle around Viet Hai Village - a traditional village with rustic paths and stunning views of dense jungles and mountains.
Which one is better, Stellar of the Seas or Elite of the Seas?
Stellar of the Seas and Elite of the Seas are sister cruises of Aclass Group - a reputable cruise company in Halong Bay. While Stellar was launched earlier in 2018 with fewer cabins (22 cabins), the sister Elite came up in 2022 with a larger capacity (35 cabins) and upgraded facilities such as an elevator and sauna. However, guests can experience varied facilities on both cruises such as an outdoor pool, mini golf, poker club, wine & cigar cellar, spa, restaurant, bar, and fitness room.
Besides, all cabins on both cruises have a private balcony with an ensuite bathroom and tub. You will savor delightful meals with plenty of local and international dishes. For itinerary, both Stellar and Elite sail to Lan Ha Bay with thrilling spots such as Dark-Bright Cave, Ao Ech Area, etc.
In short, there is not much difference in cruise facilities and service quality that both cruises offer. If you prefer a smaller ship for more privacy, Stellar of the Seas is definitely the one. If you want to experience a newer cruise and do not hesitate to a bigger crowd, go ahead with Elite of the Seas. The choice is yours.
