Gia đình mình đã có một kỳ nghỉ đáng nhớ. Hồ bơi tràn bờ là nơi check-in cực đẹp, đặc biệt là dịch vụ chụp ảnh bằng flycam của tàu rất chuyên nghiệp, giúp mình có những tấm hình để đời giữa vịnh Lan Hạ.
Nếu có khu vui chơi riêng cho trẻ em thì sẽ tuyệt.

The mini-golf club on the sundeck is a brilliant touch. We spent our mornings practicing swings before the Tai Chi session. The food was a perfect fusion of international and local flavors, and the wine cellar is impressive.

Great vibes, friendly crew, and stunning scenery. The 3D2N itinerary allowed us to see Viet Hai village, which was a nice cultural break from the luxury of the ship. Highly recommend for any Aussie travelers.
The afternoon tea break while cruising through the limestone karsts was so quintessentially relaxing. The ship is incredibly stable, and the Junior Suite was much larger than expected. A truly seamless experience from start to finish.

Stella of the Seas ylitti kaikki odotukset. Huone oli hiljainen ja erittäin mukava. Melonta Ao Ech -laguunilla ja aamuinen Tai Chi kannella loivat täydellisen tasapainon rentoutumiselle ja seikkailulle.
Điều tôi thích nhất ở Stella là sân golf mini, một tiện ích khá hiếm thấy trên các du thuyền khác. Bữa tối Fine Dining rất ngon, không gian ấm cúng và sang trọng. Flycam quay phim cũng rất đẹp!

We booked the 3-day trip and it was worth every penny. The Ba Trai Dao beach visit was pristine. If you want a modern, high-end ship that feels like a floating resort, Stella of the Seas is the only choice.
Some areas of the coastline were littered with garbage.
