Our trip on Stellar of the Seas was fantastic. Before check in, their team organized everything very efficiently and the service on the ship was truly fantastic. Highly recommend the whole crew, especially our butler Jackie and lead Tin.
Jackie was truly fantastic and such a kind person. He took care of my wife and I during our cruise and made it a very memorable experience. The team and staff were also fantastic. Would highly recommend!
We had a great time on the cruise. Alice took great care of us. We felt quite pampered and well taken care of. Food was outstanding. The whole trip starting from pickup from our hotel to drop off was very well managed.
Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience. Well organised cruise. Rooms are very spacious, comfy and quiet. I think the 2 night option is worth it given the itinerary. Staff very all incredibly helpful especially Jackie and Jay!
This cruise was absolutely sensational. My family of four were treated like royalty over three days and two nights. So well organised.
Spectacular scenery, incredible food & entertainment. We had so much brilliant food and the service was impeccable. Shout out to James who organised us from the start, Tam (I think) who was everywhere from Tai Chi, tea service and great stories and last but not in any way least, Cindy who was there at every turn to ensure that our trip was comfortable, fully catered and so well looked after.
Highly recommend this tour. The day trip to the mountains, the caves, kayaks, squid fishing, the beach visit and the boutique nature of the uncrowded boat were all a brilliant way to experience this spectacular and iconic place in the world. It is a must do when visiting Vietnam.
From the moment I stepped aboard Stellar of the Seas, I knew this experience was something special. What I didn't expect was just how impeccable every detail would be. As a spiritual solo traveler, I pay attention to energy, intention, and how people make you feel and this cruise exceeded every expectation.
The staff were truly the heart of the experience: warm, welcoming, thoughtful, attentive, generous, and genuinely kind. Every interaction felt sincere, & they consistently went above & beyond to make guests feel cared for. I was celebrating my birthday, & they surprised me multiple times throughout the evening w/ thoughtful touches that made me feel incredibly special. Just when I thought they couldn't top themselves, they somehow did.
I stayed in the Executive Room, and it was absolutely immaculate. Beautifully designed, spacious, comfortable, and paired with some of the most breathtaking views I've ever experienced. Waking up in Ha Long Bay each morning felt magical.
The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, and the amenities were fantastic. Everything felt luxurious while still maintaining a warm, personal atmosphere. One of my favorite surprises was the complimentary drone photos, such an incredible bonus and a beautiful way to capture memories from a truly unforgettable trip.
Stellar of the Seas isn't just a cruise; it's an experience! I left feeling celebrated, rested, and deeply grateful. I will absolutely be returning. 10/10 from beginning to end!
Excellent luxury cruise. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The rooms are exactly as pictures and the bathtub in the senior suite is incredible. The cruise starts at 1pm and ends at 11am, so don’t count on a full 2-day experience.
The staff provided us with top tier customer service. They made us feel welcomed, safe, taken care of at all times and went out of their way to put us and our comfort first. Thank you Jay, Sam and Tin for your professionalism, hospitality and kindness. We will be sure to recommend Stellar of the Seas to our family and friends and hope to visit again some day.
We had an incredible one night stay on the cruise. It was true luxury!! Staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. Tinh was especially great and had many stories to share about Vietnam that were very interesting. The rooms were very clean, beds super comfortable, and waking up to a view of the bay was even more incredible! Food was also delicious, but keep in mind you have to pay for beverages. One night was enough but we could have definitely stayed for two! Highly recommend treating yourself to a stay!
Can’t say enough about how great our stay was.
The personal attention is amazing. From the moment you are greeted on to the ship the crew does everything they can to meet your every need.
The food is very good. If you don’t like the options they will make something for you on the spot.
Rooms are very clean. They have activities thru out your stay which are a lot of fun.
Waking up in the rooms with a view of the bay is amazing. The rooms have little balcony’s you can sit on and relax.
We traveled to Vietnam during the virus outbreak and this was a highlight of the trip because you could tell they where keeping a clean a sanitary environment. Would 100% recommend to anyone.
Also arranging transportation thru the company is nice. They have very nice vans they take you from your pick up point to the harbor.
This was the first cruise we have experienced. Harry, Tracy and Merlin were the best hosts we have come across. Harry spent sometime with us explaining the different islands and what they specialize in as well explaining the different fruits in the area. Tracy took sometime with us to explain the different areas on the speed boat and made us feel very welcome. Merlin also spent sometime with us at dinner on the top of the boat and explained some Vietnamese history which was a very nice touch. He was also the first person to serve us at the welcome lunch. We loved the experience on the cruise and will definitely come again in the future if we are in the area.
Thank you to everyone on the cruise and to Harry, Tracy and Merlin!.

My daughter and her boyfriend stayed here for her birthday gift from myself to her, as I am not able to visit Vietnam at this time. They had the most amazing time and said the accommodation and staff were all excellent. From the food, spa treatments, kayaking, speed boat ride, to the views and everything in between it was a fabulous experience for them.
The friendliness of all the staff (especially the manager Thao Le) was exceptional. The views were amazing and the overall experience was very relaxing. Scored down for cleaning as the shower room walls and bathroom floor was not cleaned to standard. Food was ok, set menu better than the buffet. Thanks to the staff i would highly recommend.
Staff was extremely friendly and nice. The food was good. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Just cannot fault anything. Everything was perfect.
Highly recommend stellar of the seas!
service and rooms were top notch! I would say the transportation situations from Hanoi should be thought through a better for single occupants. the seating in the 7 person shuttle does not have room for the odd person out.
Personal super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Gästebetreuung war wirklich super. Alle Ausflüge und Aktivitäten sind top geplant. 2 Nächte lohnen sich auf jeden Fall.
Absolutely amazing experience: beautiful boat, great facilities and exceptional service from the crew. We loved every minute of it. If I had to make a criticism, one minor point would be that drinks could be better: a greater wine list and better cocktails would have been nice but I’m being picky here.
The rooms are spacious, clean, modern and beautifully designed. The food was nice and the staff couldn’t be more helpful and attentive. My only negative point would be I feel the drinks such as tea, coffee and juice should be free for all customers
Quick review: Amazing and would recommend to everyone. Everything is 5-stars.
Longer Review: This is my first time to Halong Bay so I cannot compare other boats. This boat was simply fantastic.
Service: The staff and crew could not have been friendlier and always working hard to make sure you are happy and get what you need.
Boat: There's a swimming pool, golf putting green, bar, dining area, and a large sun deck on the top floor. Plenty of areas to relax and enjoy during your stay. The boat is only 7 months old, so it's in excellent condition.
Food: The food was very good, but nothing extroardinary. This is not to say the food was less than my expectations. If you compare the food to a cruise line like Royal Princess and you rate them a 5 star, then Stellar would be 4 star. To be fair, Stellar is a big boat and not a gigantic ship.
Price: from what I've researched, Stellar is more on the higher end. I would say the value is there though. The high price definitely meets what you are paying for.
Overall, everything exceeded my expectations and I have nothing to complain about.
Note: this has nothing to do with the boat, but don't expect to get wifi for 24 hours. This is how halong bay is.
