Stellar Of The Seas Lan Ha Bay Cruise 1 Night (2D1N)

The day begins with the low hum of Hanoi waking up, and ends with the gentle slap of water against the hull as Lan Ha Bay glows under the last light of the sun.

✨ What You’ll Experience

Your morning starts in Hanoi Old Quarter, where a comfortable limousine or high-standard shuttle collects you and a few fellow travellers in a calm, unhurried window. Soon the lanes of Hanoi fall behind and the smooth expressway opens ahead, guiding you past fields, villages and low green hills. A short pause at a local Pearl Farm lets you stretch, breathe sea air for the first time and glimpse how oysters are coaxed into treasures. By late morning you’re skimming across the harbour by speedboat to Stellar of the Seas, where cool towels, a welcome drink and warm smiles greet you. Lunch unfolds as the ship glides between the cliffs, and by mid-afternoon you’re already in Ao Ech Lagoon, slipping a kayak into gentle jade water or easing into the floating pool. As golden hour arrives, you move from outdoor adventures to afternoon tea, a cooking class, sky-bar Happy Hour and a slow, flavour-rich dinner, before choosing your own way to end the night: squid lines, spa time, mini golf, or simply your balcony and the stars.

The bay wakes before you do, turning from silver to soft gold as you stretch, breathe and take one last slow look at the water before the road home.

✨ What You’ll Experience

Before dawn fully arrives, the outline of Lan Ha Bay is already visible beyond your curtains. Early risers make their way to the upper decks for sunrise, some stepping into a gentle swing on the mini golf area, others simply letting the first light soak in. A short session of Tai Chi follows, slow movements matching the easy rhythm of the tide, before the scent of coffee and warm pastries draws you toward a buffet-style breakfast. Soon after, you transfer by local bamboo boat or kayak into the sheltered realm of Dark & Bright Cave, where rock arches, echoing caverns and mirrored water offer a last deep breath of bay silence. Back onboard, you pack at an unhurried pace, enjoy a generous brunch and savour final views as Stellar of the Seas returns to the harbour. A speedboat hops you back to land, and by mid-afternoon you’re once again in Hanoi Old Quarter, carrying the calm of the bay with you like a quiet blessing.
