Questions & Answers (130)
Ask a questionDear friends at Elite of the Seas Your cruise looks fabulous! Just one question-- the four of us have to get to Cat Bi Airport (HPH) for a 1pm flight. How early is it possible to check out and get to shore? I know that the usual transport leaves at 11:10am. We would have to leave the port at Ha Long itself closer to 10:15am...meaning leaving the boat around 9:45am. Would there be transport available for us at around 9:45am? If not, what is the earliest transport we could get to the shore and how long does the transfer from boat to shore take?
Dear Arash Babaoff, Please be advised that Elite of the Seas Cruise finishes at 11.15am as soonest and if you take a private car, you will arrive at Hai Phong airport at 12.00pm and have enough time for your flight at 1.00pm if it is a domestic flight. However, if you want to get on the pier earlier, maybe at 10.00am, you can take a speedboat, 30 mins from the boat to the shore and it costs USD 100 - USD 150. Should you have other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards, Cindy
Hi, we are a group of 7 for Jan 15,2025 overnight (2D/1N) Cabin 1 (2 Adults) Cabin 2 (2 Adults) Cabin 3 (3 Adults) If this is possible - what best can be offered ?
Dear Alex, Our offer for Elite of the Seas with 3 Junior Suite & extra bed is USD 2400 with free shuttle bus round trip. I hope to hear from you soon and please let me know if you have any other inquiries. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
We have a 5pm flight on February 8. Can the transport drop us at the airport or is there a way to hire a transport that will get us to the airport. Thanks! Jeff Jensen
Dear Jeff Jensen, The bus cannot drop off at Hanoi airport so I think you should take a private car to go directly from Halong to Hanoi airport. We can arrange a private car for you with a cost of USD 100 for 2 persons. Best regards, Cindy
Does your free transfer include Sheraton Hanoi West?
Dear Dave, Please be advised the bus can pick you up from Sheraton Hotel with an extra charge of USD 10 per way for 2 persons. Best regards, Cindy
hi, I’m confused bc in some places it says transfer from hanoi is included but then it says it’s not under exclusions. Is there a transfer for free to halong bay?
Dear Sam Nowack, We have a promotion that includes a free bus from/to Hanoi for Elite of the Seas Cruise. Best regards, Cindy

This cruise was truly luxurious and valued for money. Program was great with nice balance of activities and relaxing time. The facilities, food, and staff were all exceptional. Alee, our butler, was truly outstanding. We experienced the best service ever. I highly recommend this cruise! Book 2 nights if possible.
Incredibly beautiful view and boat. We had such a memorable trip. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Harry Wu and Hannah for their exceptional care and attention. Will be back with my family.
Elite of the Seas is exceptional. The rooms and views are simply stunning. The service is impeccable. The culinary experience was extraordinary with 8-course lunches and dinners. A special thank you to Harry, Tony, and Jay for making it an unforgettable experience. I will definitely be back!
One of the best experiences in Vietnam. The cruise ship was lovely with state-of-the-art facilities. The room was well equipped with a view, balcony, ensuite bathroom, tub, and super soft bed. The food was of good quality and plentiful. Kevin was the best butler ever. My wife and I were very satisfied with his service. Everyone was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend a honeymoon trip with Elite of the Seas.
