Picturesque instagram worthy ship Elite of the Sea tour of Halong Bay with incredible service from Ryan!
Fabulous ship, incredible pool. The service by Ryan (our butler) was top notch, the meals were tasty, kayaking was fun, the room was well appointed, the excursion to the cave was memorable. Highly recommend.

DO NOT BOOK THIS CRUISE
This was a bait and switch for us. We booked a small luxury boat and paid for a private suite and then were instead switched to a ship that was cheaper, with more people and given a standard room. When I was contacted the tour operator made it seem like we were being upgraded. We paid 800.00 and got switched to a 600.00 cruise. VIator did not stand by us and the tour operator refused to refund us the difference. This is not at all a review of the staff on the ship. They were all amazing and did a great job taking care of us and making sure we were happy.

Fantastic cruise! First class and well worth it
We had booked on the Stellar of the Seas but were moved to the Elite of the Seas boat due to maintenance. All of the communications were quick, accurate and really helpful. This was such a fantastic time for us all. The room was a 5 star room. Really well appointed including a private bath. The food was a magnificent fine dining experience. The kayaking and fishing were also really fun, with the staff being really helpful and friendly. We loved having a pool on the boat. Mr Harry and Miss Cece really looked after us really well and were very helpful. We all really enjoyed the experience and would highly recommend this trip! (Save your pennies in advance and go on this bot rather than a cheaper one, and you won’t regret it!!)

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ha Long Bay.
How much does Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $399 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ha Long Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ha Long Bay is not rushed.
Is Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Ha Long Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ha Long Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ha Long Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Elite of the Seas - 2d/1n - High-End class Halong Bay-Lan Ha Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ha Long Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Ha Long Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Ha Long Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All Inclusive 2 Days Halong Bay & Lan Ha Bay on Au Co cruise, Top Tier: Overnight Ha Long Bay Cruise 5-Star, Balcony Cabin-2D1N, All inclusive Bhaya 2-Day Halong Bay Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Ha Long Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Ha Long Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
