Ha Long Bay is one of the 7 natural wonders of the world and is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Ha Long is one of the most popular places to visit in Vietnam, and for good reasons. This beautiful and scenic place always brings a strange attraction to travellers. The best way to experience this magnificent place is in luxury style, on board Stellar and Elite of the Seas.

When coming to Ha Long Bay, you will be mesmerized by the majestic natural masterpieces created by mother nature over millions of years. There will be nothing more wonderful if you can see and feel the exquisite beauty of Ha Long Bay with your own eyes by cruising along the turquoise water and wriggling through the magnificent caves and cliffs.

The luxury cruise is the perfect way to meet your needs with modern equipment and high-class amenities including luxury rooms, service and food. In addition, there are activities available on the cruise that will enhance your experience. The Itineraries of these luxury cruise ships are unique and will take you to the less touristed places. You will not only visit Ha Long Bay but also the less-known Lan Ha Bay.
