    Fabulous cruise on Halong Bay

    This cruise was definitely a highlight of our trip! We were picked up from our hotel lobby, driven to Halong Bay and transported to Stellar of The Seas via a speedboat. On arrival the crew were lined up to welcome us with music and song. We felt so special! We were invited directly to the dining room with splendid views of the bay, here we were served a delicious three course lunch before checking in to our rooms. Our room was superb with a large bathroom and a bath where you could soak in rose petals and watch the fabulous views of the bay go by. All rooms have balconies too. We had our own butler, Jackie who was great, he was attentive, informative, funny and entertaining. He even sent me recommendations for restaurants for the rest of our trip. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff on board. We went kayaking and swimming in the heated pool and had photos taken by drone. The food was all delicious and plentiful, from breakfast to brunch, afternoon tea and dinner which was a barbecue on the first evening and either a Vietnamese menu or Western choice on the second. There is a large wine and drinks menu to choose from. They even do room service. We did Tai Chi on the deck at sunrise, cycled to Viet Hai village on Cat Ba, swam in the sea, lazed on a beach and visited the caves. Each evening there was a show with excellent singers and a chance to do a bit of karaoke which was actually great fun. On International Women’s Day there was a rose and gift for every woman, followed by fireworks! We met some lovely people on board although there was also plenty of space for privacy if you wished. The itinerary was full but you never felt rushed and there was no pressure to participate if you preferred not to. All in all a fabulous experience which I would definitely recommend! Thank you so much, from Helen & Brendan xxx

    Nice trip, but...

    We went on a 3 day 2 night cruise with Stellar of the Seas. It was nice but not spectacular if I'm being honest. It's more like 2 half days, (1/2 day to start and 1/2 day to end at about 11am) with one full day. We did the kayaks on arrival which was nice. They had an inflatable ocean pool which we did not use, more on this later. We did use the pool on the bow of the ship which was heated nicely. Meals, service staff and butler's were really good. Lots of choices and everything tasted wonderful. The staff want to please you so bad sometimes they don't know when to stop before becoming annoying. The stateroom was fantastic, large and comfortable. Bed was a bit hard but this seems to be the case throughout Asia. No complaints on our accommodation. Bar services. Drinks flow freely during the meals (Great), but the happy hour was strange. The deal was buy 2 drinks and every third drink was free. I think 1/2 price drinks would make better sense. Most people won't buy three drinks, but maybe this is why it's designed this way(?). The excursions: we did the row boat to the cave trip on the morning of day two. It was to early and rushed in our opinion. Later they take you to a village for lunch, to bike ride and visit a beach. We opted to just relax on the ship. This turn out great as we had the place to ourselves. People who went on the excursion said we made a good choice. They didn't enjoy the time, said it took 45 minutes each direction, the beach was tiny with over 50 people on it and lasted 15 minutes. They didn't ride the bikes because it was hilly. Capacity wise their were 22 guests with 50 crew so nothing was crowded on board. Most retreated to their rooms by 9pm. It was very relaxing and the music was good with a live band. We were a little confused however that they kept playing Christmas music as it was the end of February. The ocean: This was very depressing and disappointing. There was trash floating everywhere and the water quality was disturbing. Hence why we didn't use the ocean pool they deployed. Vietnam needs to address this and quickly or people will stop visiting. Transfers from Hanoi: this was first class! Value for the money was good. Just wish the ocean was clean.

    Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

    How much does Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Hanoi is not rushed.

    Is Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 121 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise?

    +

    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 Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise?

    +

    Around 42 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Stellar of the Seas Cruise Halong Bay 3Days 2Night on 5 Star Cruise 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 Hanoi 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 Hanoi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City 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 Hanoi?

    +

    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 Hanoi?

    +

    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.
