Elite of the Seas Cruise is a 35-suite luxury yacht sailing Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay, rated 5.0/5 on TripAdvisor, known for its infinity-edge swimming pool, mini-golf course and wine & cigar cellar.
Launched in 2022 and built as a modern 85m steel yacht, Elite of the Seas inherited the operating experience of her sister ship, Stellar of the Seas, and departs from Tuan Chau on itineraries ranging from 2 Days 1 Night to 5 Days 4 Nights around the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay – Cat Ba Archipelago. It ranks among the top Lan Ha Bay cruises and top Halong Bay luxury cruises for 2026 — book direct with Halong Tour Expert for a Best Price Guarantee.
Facilities & Deck Plan
Elite of the Seas is built around 4 decks plus a basement level. The 2nd deck is the social heart of the ship, housing an open year-round infinity-edge swimming pool with teak flooring, a mini-golf course, an indoor and an outdoor bar, the fine-dining restaurant and open kitchen, and reception. The 1st deck holds the spa, sauna & massage rooms and a fitness room, while the basement houses a dedicated wine & cigars cellar. The open-air sundeck is used for sunrise Tai Chi sessions and drone photography of the yacht against the limestone karsts.

Itineraries & Activities
Elite of the Seas departs Tuan Chau with a choice of itineraries from 2 Days 1 Night up to 5 Days 4 Nights around Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay — a notably longer range of options than most Lan Ha Bay cruises. On the 2 Days 1 Night sailing, guests board around midday, enjoy leisure time swimming or kayaking at Ao Ech Lagoon, a poolside sunset tea and Happy Hour, a Vietnamese cooking demonstration, and an evening squid-fishing session. The following morning brings sunrise Tai Chi on the sundeck and an excursion to Dark and Bright Cave by rowing boat or kayak before disembarking. Longer 3 Days 2 Nights and up itineraries add stops such as Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island. Onboard activities include kayaking, local rowing-boat village visits, swimming, squid fishing, Tai Chi and Vietnamese cooking demonstrations.
Dining & Culinary Experience
The fine-dining restaurant on Elite of the Seas serves Vietnamese and international cuisine in a chic indoor-outdoor setting with an open kitchen. A welcome drink greets guests at check-in, live music and a poolside Happy Hour set the tone each evening, and an onboard cooking demonstration teaches guests to prepare classic Vietnamese dishes such as spring rolls.
Transportation from Hanoi
Hotel pickup in the Hanoi Old Quarter runs from around 8:15–8:35 AM via expressway, with a rest stop en route, followed by check-in procedures at the pier and a speedboat transfer to Elite of the Seas at Tuan Chau — a total journey of roughly 3 hours from central Hanoi.
Spa & Wellness
Elite of the Seas houses a dedicated spa, sauna and massage area plus a fitness room on the 1st deck, and a sunrise Tai Chi class on the sundeck each morning for a calm start to the day on Lan Ha Bay.
