Private Tours Across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos & Thailand
Private trips with local guides, flexible itineraries and support throughout your journey.
Fewer suites. More room for the bay.
Contemporary yacht-style cruising through Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay.
Elite of the Seas offers a more intimate style of luxury cruising, with just 35 suites and a contemporary yacht-inspired design created for the quieter landscapes of Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay.
Every room category features expansive glass, private outdoor space or terraces, and accommodation designed around the water views. Marble bathrooms and bay-facing bathtubs are a defining part of the experience, while the larger Executive and President categories add considerably more private outdoor space.
Outside the suites, Elite of the Seas feels closer to a floating boutique resort. Facilities include a year-round infinity pool, fine dining restaurant, indoor and outdoor bars, wine and cigar cellar, mini golf, spa, sauna, fitness room, and expansive sundeck.
The Senior Suite is slightly more compact than the Junior category but sits higher on the vessel. Full-height glass and a private balcony provide elevated views across Lan Ha Bay, making this category particularly appealing to guests who prioritise location over additional floor space.
Located on the upper areas of the vessel, the Senior Premium combines additional floor space with broad glass windows, private outdoor space and a bay-facing bathroom experience.
With 43 m² of space, the Junior Premium provides considerably more room than the standard Junior Suite while retaining the same close connection with the bay through large glass doors and private outdoor space.
The Executive Suite marks a significant step up from Elite’s balcony cabins. Its large private sun terrace provides substantially more outdoor space, while panoramic glazing and a marble bathroom keep the bay constantly in view. The suite also includes an outdoor shower and selected premium benefits.
Offering 58 m² of private space, the Executive Premium Suite combines a larger interior with an expansive sun terrace and panoramic scenery. It is one of the strongest options for couples wanting considerably more outdoor space without moving into the President category.
The President Suite is Elite of the Seas’ flagship accommodation. Positioned at the front of Deck 3, the 88 m² suite combines panoramic views with a king bed, generous private terrace and bay-facing bathtub, creating a highly private setting for honeymoons, anniversaries or special journeys.
Enjoy Vietnamese and international menus in an elegant contemporary dining room with an open kitchen and both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the bay.
Spend time beside Elite’s large open-air infinity-style swimming pool, surrounded by teak decking and panoramic views of the limestone landscape. The pool operates year-round.
Enjoy afternoon tea, sunset drinks and evening cocktails from Elite’s indoor and outdoor bar spaces overlooking the swimming pool and bay.
Relax with a massage or spa treatment, unwind in the sauna or continue your routine at the onboard Fitness Room with panoramic bay views.
Play a few holes on Elite’s mini golf course at the front of Deck 2, with equipment provided onboard and open views across the bay.
Retreat to the ship’s dedicated wine and cigar cellar for a quieter evening atmosphere away from the main public decks.
