Peaceful, luxurious, and sophisticated, Stellar of the Seas Cruise crew always works carefully to create an authentic experience on your special visit to Halong. With an aesthetic design and luxurious vibe, it combines 22 elegant and spacious cabins on 1st and 2nd decks. Each cabin comes with a private balcony or large sun terrace and a bathtub.
A luxurious restaurant, a panoramic bar, a wine and cigars cellar and a mini golf club are just some highlights among numerous amenities. Set on the 3rd deck, the Stellar of the Seas dining restaurant has a capacity of up to 60 seats, both indoors and outdoors. With a romantic style, it offers a 5-star cuisine excursion on your plate.
Separated from the restaurant, the panoramic bar provides a cluster of fine wines and non-alcoholic drinks. What could be better than a little corner of intimacy where you can enjoy peaceful moments and take slow conversations with your beloveds and friends. Sipping a stunning cocktail in the fresh air, looking over the seasonal swimming pool and the emerald sea is the best way to enjoy the leisure hours on the ship.
