Luxury 5 star cruise. Food was excellent & service was exceptional. Thanks to Calvin & our personal butler Jackie who provided outstanding service. Stunning location, highly recommend.
This experience was fantastic. I have been in hotels for 35 years at a high level and I cannot fault the ship, rooms, amenity, food then especially the team. The team are beautiful and genuine in their service and care for everything you could need. Across the board the crew were great and we were lucky enough to be looked after mainly by Jay and Jacky, both super professional and engaging……. That is before you looked outside at the incredible geography and scenery. Thank you Jay and the rest of the crew of Stella of the Seas for an incredible time! See you again
Excellent rooms with spacious room and extra 3rd person bed Greeted with rose Excellent 5 course lunch and dinners Vegetarian options readily available Jasper our waiter was very kind Jay the Service manager was also very knowledgeable Cruise was very organized with and abundance of activities
Great food. Nice hosts. Everything was perfect. I’ll definitely do this again. Perhaps next time I’ll book their newer and bigger boat.
Two day and one night cruise on Halong Bay. Food was great the staff was great and the views amazing. The rooms were super nice and the deck for outside dinner very pleasant.
We really enjoyed our overnight cruise with Sea of the Stellars. Our tour advisor was helpful and attentive, and our butler was always available when we needed anything. The room was very clean, and the attention to detail throughout the cruise really stood out. The staff made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed.
Terrific experience. 5 star treatment from the very start right through to disembarking. The staff are so helpful and attentive. Special mention for our butler Dodo.
Wow! Amazing cruise! A super comfortable suite with view (and balcony) on the bay, outstanding cuisine and especially outstanding service (efficient and friendly/helpful crew and staff). A fun atmosphere throughout (this possibly also on account of a great group of passengers) and an excellent excursion (kayak/boat) into the caves. Highly recommended!
This is the most amazing experience. Food, service, views….everything. Is a little pricier but worth it. Do it guys! You will be so well looked after. My butler Eric was an absolute legend!!! ❤️
We wanted a good cruise to finish our trip to Cambodia-Vietnam and it's our choice. We had great experice from the time we were picked from our hotel to the time we got back to Hanoi. Luxury bus, informative & helpful guide, amazing crew & excellent services. I do highly recommend this cruise!
Had a wonderful two days on Stellar of the Seas. It’s a beautiful boat and the staff are incredible, especially Jackie and Jay. Highly, highly recommend!
This was a great experience!!!! Helen provided the best service and was incredibly helpful & attentive! I would definitely do this again
Excellent service. Eric, Tin and Jay and the rest of the crew were great. Would definitely recommend. Although pricier than other cruises its definitely worth it.
We had an amazing time on Stellar, top notch service from Cindy, Jay, James and the staff team. The cruise facilities were amazing and luxurious. We received personalised service from Cindy, from room check in to every meal.
What an amazing experience this was. My wife and I were on our honeymoon, doing an Asia trip, and nothing has beat our experience of being on the Stellar of the Seas!!! We have never felt more special than the crew onboard. Our personal butler, Helen, was so fantastic in getting to know us, remembering all the little details and even organizing a special performance for us during the dinner to commemorate our honeymoon. I cannot wait to go back again, i wish we did more time here, this was amazing. Thank you Helen!
It was an exceptional trip. And Boo our personal butler was excellent. Very helpfull, very kind, very friendly. The trip was beautifull. The food and beverage delicious. The sunrise beautifull and worth standing up early of bed.
We had a great Ha Long Bay experience, thanks largely to Helen, the staff member who was assigned to us. She was simply outstanding. She anticipated our questions/needs before we said a word to her. The owner of Stellar of the Seas is fortunate to have Helen on their staff.
We did the 2D1N trip and it was absolutely amazing. One thing we didn't realise until we stayed was that the Stellar of the Seas and the Elite of the Seas (sister ship) anchor away from other ships at night so you get a better view of Ha Long Bay at sunset / sunrise. Jackie was our butler during our stay and his customer service was exceptional, he really went above and beyond to make our stay. Jay (service manager) also made the trip very fun. I'd highly recommend the Stellar of the Seas for anyone wanting to visit Ha Long Bay.
My wife and I came to Stellar of the Seas for our honeymoon, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Before our trip, we did lots of comparing among the competing Halong cruise experiences before we settled on Stellar. The Stellar crew staff was extremely thoughtful and considerate to our every need. We especially enjoyed talking to Jackie and Tin. We would absolutely book this again.
We had such an amazing time at Stellar of the Seas! The cruise is pristine, our room was so spacious and comfortable. My husband and I especially loved our private balcony which we spent a good amount of time on. We were in Vietnam for our honeymoon and the staff went out of their way to celebrate us - decorating our room and a cake at dinner. Our butler, Jackie, was so nice and accommodating. We enjoyed getting to know him better and he made sure we were having a great time. We would 100% come back to Stellar of the Seas!
We stayed for 1 night on the Stellar of the Seas, it wasn't enough, the whole experience was outstanding. Alice looked after us very well, the food and service was first class and the boat facilities are superior. We chose Stellar rather than its big sister Elite as it's a smaller boat and that suited us perfectly.
WOW. Speechless. My husband and I had the most fantastic time on our 1N2D cruise to celebrate our honeymoon. Our butler, Helen made the trip extremely memorable and provided excellent service! Thank you Helen for being so sweet and great hospitality 🩷 we highly recommend!
Our stay was amazing and Helen made extra efforts to make our stay special. She is very kind and helpful. Will definitely recommend visiting.
Everything in the boat was first rate. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. Our butler Sophia, took great care of us and I highly recommend this cruise.
If you are looking for a mini vacation in the middle of your vacation , please choose this. This cruise is the best thing I could’ve choose in Vietnam. There is nothing to compare to the service. The money spent is well worth and the employees give you exactly what a 5 Star should be. Halong Bay feels like your own little private island while onboard. Take a couple sips and delicious bites and bask in the beauty of the Bay. Listen to the itinerary because it’s fitted directly to make sure you get everything you need. The one thing to note is the crew will also provide you with extra things to do outside of the posted itinerary so please get ready for an optional luxury surprise. I was blown away by the assistance from the crew . First, Eric is completely hospitable and will make sure you never feel underwhelmed at any moment truly the perfect hostess, Cindy is the vibrant hostess that will give you the perfect introduction and make you feel compatible with the Vietnamese ways while on the trip, her English is incredible. Jay is the man with the plan, activities and fun is in his pocket and he will never have you bored , Tin is the man with all the history and knowledge and sitting with him gave me the biggest lessons I could learn, lastly Tracy brings it all together with managing all of it and providing you with the catering and coordination and she is the true expert behind all the wonders of the cruise. Bravo to all of them onboard Stellar of the Seas.
Great service and really friendly staff. Overall amazing! Jackie is our personal butler, he was so kind and made our trip was so amazing. Thank a lott
This was the best experience I had in Vietnam. The service , room and food was exceptional and above and beyond my expectations. I can’t highly recommend this enough. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. Helen and. The team, assisted me to ensure every one of my needs were met. I felt very spoilt.
Ahh what an amazing experience! ROBIN the restaurant supervisor was our personal butler and wow he could not do enough for you! He needs a promotion and completely made the cruise for us for sure! My boyfriend surprised me with this experience for my birthday and they decorated the room, brought out the most amazing tasting cake I’ve ever eaten in my life at dinner and just made the experience so so beautiful. I’m vegetarian and the food was UNREAL. I had personal meals brought out to me at breakfast as well as the buffet all because I had a ‘dietary requirement’ and ugh just 11/10! Would recommend this to everyone! Thank you!!!
This cruise was amazing! This was my first cruise and the experience was seamless and the star of the show was Robin. This man needs a promotion, he is funny, kind and very attentive to every need. He has a lot of history knowledge that he shares about Ha Long Bay and Vietnam. He is incredible and made the cruise 100x better and was the highlight of the experience.
This was a great trip l. Boat is very luxurious and the crew do eager to please. Shout out to Sofia and Tim for looking after us so well. Highly recommend this trip

This was one of the most exquisite experience I ever had. The crew showed amazing hospitality. Entire trip was really well planned and was full of wonderful experiences. It felt like heaven and honestly no one would feel like going after experiencing such a blissful experience.
Wonderful cruise. For sure one of the best cruise among the hundreds of cruises available in Halong Bay. Service standard is impeccable. If you are thinking of taking a halong bay cruise, this should be one of your consideration.
It’s an excellent cruise! We were appointed a 24hrs butler,Jackie,who was so helpful and caring,took service to another level!!

Super service by Jackie … he was so kind and helpful to my kids. Food and beverage is amazingggg. Jay is the service manager of the cruise . Highly recommended for his service in terms of keeping us updated on all the activities . Excellent !!
Fantastic stay with amazing view and great food. Jackie is very a friendly and attentive butler. Jackie also gave us great recommendations for our trip to Sapa. We truly enjoyed our stay.
The cruise was so well organized and planned. We were well taken care of. Robin and Dodo are so nice. I would recommend this cruise to my family and friends.
This cruise was booked for us by our tour operator Your Vietnam travel and has so far been the highlight of our honeymoon in Vietnam. The service is excellent and starts even before you go on the cruise ship, there is a lot of eye for detail from live music, all the flowers and rose petals to the spa services, the interaction with staff to the food that is served. You cannot go wrong with this cruise and it's staff. Thank you to our lovely butler Sophia, the managers and all others that made this a memory of a life time!
We really enjoyed the cruise. The best part of the cruise was the spectacular views and the gracious hospitality of the staff. The cabins were spacious. The food was of good quality and special requests were accommodated. We really appreciated the special private transportation they arranged to take us to the airport. Special thanks to Alice, Jay, Tracy and the bartender for making it memorable for us!
Wonderful, beautiful experience! You get your very own butler to personalize your experience—our butler was Helen who was wonderful in every way—attention to detail was great and we had first class service! Helen made the experience very special; the ship is beautiful; kayaking, paddleboarding, and seeing the caves are but a few of the very fun things we did! Thank you so much for the lifetime memories in Halong Bay!
