Stellar of the Seas
A top-tier 5-star boat by Aclass Cruises (launched 2018) sailing Lan Ha Bay. It runs four decks plus a basement wine and cigar cellar, with a seasonal outdoor pool, a 3-hole mini-golf course, a spa with sea views and free 24-hour room service. Cabins are all suites with marble bathrooms, from 28m² Junior Suites up to a 60m² President Suite.
Scored by our Halong cruise team, who spend their season on these waters. We rate each boat the way a returning guest would - cabins, dining, crew, itinerary and value - not the way a listing does.
Stellar sits at the luxury end of Lan Ha and mostly earns it: all 22 cabins are proper suites, the marble bathrooms are generous, and touches like the poolside BBQ, the basement wine and cigar cellar and free 24-hour room service feel genuinely five-star. Just know the outdoor pool is seasonal, so a winter sailing loses one of its headline draws, and at the President Suite level the price climbs steeply.
