Overview

Launched in late 2017, the Stellar Cruise is one of the newest cruises in Halong Bay and one of the newest of the highly experienced and rated Aclass cruise company. The beautiful, traditional exterior of our hull is counterbalanced with a modern inside, where you can enjoy the peace of an ancient land with contemporary comforts.
Below our tall red sails, passengers can find a beautiful bar, restaurant and wealth of excellently equipped cabins. Atop the ship, the sundeck offers a great view of the bay and the comfort of many loungers, where tai chi classes, cooking demonstrations and occasionally meals will be served in full view of the limestone mountains around which we sail.
There is always a sense of excitement and adventure around the Stellar Cruise. Come and explore it with us today.
