We had such an amazing time on our recent adventure aboard the Dora cruise! The accommodations were incredibly spacious and tastefully decorated, making us feel like we were in a floating hotel rather than a boat. Each meal was a highlight, especially the fresh seafood that was expertly prepared; we definitely indulged more than we planned. Our days were filled with kayaking and exploring hidden lagoons, which was a blast for all of us. The staff was attentive and genuinely friendly, always making sure we had everything we needed. If we had to suggest one improvement, it would be the Wi-Fi—though we appreciated the chance to disconnect, the occasional connection would have been nice for sharing our experiences. Overall, this trip exceeded our expectations, and we can’t stop talking about the breathtaking views and relaxing atmosphere!

Our time cruising through the breathtaking waters of Hạ Long and Lan Ha Bay was truly a highlight, especially with the plush accommodations that made us feel right at home. One small improvement could be a bit more variety in the evening entertainment, but overall, the experience was unforgettable and wonderfully luxurious.

Sailing through the stunning scenery of Hạ Long and Lan Ha Bay on the luxurious Dora was an unforgettable experience for us. The accommodations were top-notch, but we would have appreciated a bit more variety in the dining options.
