Starlight, a member of Oriental Sails Company, is a 4* Halong Bay Cruise built in 2012. The love for the sky and the sea of the shipowner is the inspiration of the cruise. Keeping in mind to bring the most luxurious and immersive experience in Halong Bay, Mr Hai Phong – the shipowner decided to build the ship.
The cruise provides 32 elegant cabins with five stars standard facilities that include large and comfortable bedrooms, luxury restaurants, stylish bars and offers many other leisure amenities such as a dry sauna, jacuzzi, body massages, beauty treatments, and especially a mini-golf course. Taking a nice rest in the bay of Wonders, relaxing on the crystal blue ocean and charming white sand beaches, you will soon forget all the pressure and enjoy your journey to its fullness.
The boat floats on the bay as a valuable source of light to help the local people of the fishing village in Ha Long easily control the boat at night. Starlight Cruise impresses tourists with its luxurious and modern design, from the cabins, to restaurants, sundeck, bar, and gym... Surely, the cruise will bring memorable moments for you, your family and loved ones in the upcoming Ha Long trip.
