Sailing through the stunning landscapes of Hạ Long on the Doris was an unforgettable experience for our family. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, featuring spacious rooms with breathtaking views of the bay that made us feel right at home in luxury. We loved the intimate atmosphere onboard, where the crew shared local stories and traditions that enriched our understanding of the culture. The excursions to nearby islands and hidden caves were beautifully organized, allowing us to connect with nature while enjoying delicious Vietnamese cuisine. One tiny suggestion would be to improve the variety of afternoon activities, as we felt there could be more options to keep the kids engaged when not exploring. Overall, this journey was a memorable blend of relaxation and adventure that we’d highly recommend!

The experience on the Doris Cruise was truly a highlight of my time in Hạ Long. The accommodations were luxurious, featuring a spacious cabin with panoramic views of the bay, which made each morning feel like a dream. I particularly appreciated the cultural activities onboard, such as learning about local cuisine and attending traditional performances. Exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Lan Ha Bay was a visual treat, with its emerald waters and limestone cliffs. One suggestion for improvement would be to include more guided excursions to lesser-known areas, which would enrich the journey even further. Overall, it was a wonderful getaway that blended relaxation and cultural immersion beautifully.
