Halong Bay cruise overview
Sea Stars is a 2023 ship with 39 cabins on Halong Bay, and it has the widest range of any boat Ava sells: from $335 to a 198 sqm President Suite at $2,600.
Big ship, full facilities
Thirty-nine cabins buys you the things small boats cannot carry: a gym, a spa, a proper multi-level layout, and a hull steady enough that nobody in your group needs to worry about it. Check-in is at the Sea Stars Lounge on Level 2 of Halong International Cruise Port rather than a pier queue.
Day two goes to Tung Sau Pearl Farm.
Choosing a cabin, and one line that looks wrong
Deluxe 30 sqm at $335. Executive 36 sqm at $380. Then Premium Executive, 30 sqm, at $390.
Read that again: the Premium Executive costs $10 more than the Executive and is six square metres smaller. It is not a typo on our side; you are paying for deck position. Unless you have been shown that specific cabin and want it, the Executive at $380 is the better room.
Above them: Executive Triple 44 sqm for three at $560, Junior Suite 44 sqm at $620, Captain Suite 70 sqm at $690, Royal Suite 83 sqm at $900, and the President Suite at 198 sqm for four at $2,600. Every cabin has a balcony.
Before you book
Meals, entrance fees, kayaking and Tai Chi are in the fare. Spa is charged on board. Transfer from Hanoi is separate.
Ava confirms your cabin and pickup within one hour of booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for planning a Halong Bay or Lan Ha Bay overnight cruise with Ava Travel.
Halong Bay is approximately 160km east of Hanoi, usually about a 3 to 3.5-hour drive by expressway. Ava Travel can arrange shared shuttle or private transfer from Hanoi and confirm the exact pickup time before you book.
Lan Ha Bay is the southern extension of Halong Bay, near Cat Ba Island. It has similar limestone scenery but often feels quieter. Many premium cruises operate around Lan Ha Bay for a calmer overnight route.
A 2-day / 1-night cruise works well if your schedule is short and you want the classic overnight experience. A 3-day / 2-night cruise gives more time for kayaking, swimming, remote areas, and a slower pace.
The best months are usually October to April, when the weather is cooler and drier. Summer can still be beautiful, but rain and storm changes are more common, so Ava Travel checks weather and operator updates before departure.
Most overnight cruises include cabin accommodation, onboard meals, entrance fees for the scheduled route, and activities such as kayaking, cave visits, swimming, cooking class, or squid fishing. Drinks, spa, tips, and transfers depend on the cruise package and are confirmed before payment.
Send Ava Travel your travel date, group size, and cabin preference. We check live availability, confirm the best current price, explain inclusions, and help you complete secure checkout once everything is clear.
