Doria Cruise

My family of four took the Doria Cruise for a 2 day, 1 night trip. Hannah arranged adjoining cabins so we could stay close, which was incredibly helpful. The ship itself is cozy and not overly large, which made service feel personal. My kids loved kayaking and the spring roll making activity. The Wi Fi was not strong, but honestly that made it easier to disconnect. Beds were comfortable, and I appreciated how quiet the boat was at night. I would recommend this for families seeking nature, calm water, and polite staff.

Jason was an exceptional host—always welcoming, supportive, and ensured that everything was flawless throughout my visit. I awarded Jason 5 stars for his assistance. He consistently monitored everything as I relaxed in the dining room.

I booked Doria Cruise after comparing several options, and Hannah’s explanation made it clear it fit my budget while still offering comfort. The staff onboard were incredibly warm. I loved sitting on the deck at night listening to the soft sounds of the bay. It felt safe and serene. My cabin was spotless, though the air conditioning took a few minutes to properly cool the room. Food was varied with both Vietnamese and Western dishes, and they accommodated my no seafood request without hesitation. I would happily encourage first time visitors to pick this cruise because the itinerary is manageable and not physically demanding.

I traveled with my wife for a quick anniversary trip, and the Doria crew surprised us with a small fruit plate in our room, a simple but thoughtful gesture. Hannah from HalongHub helped secure one of the upper deck cabins, and the views from the bed were out of this world. The itinerary was not rushed, and we had plenty of time to kayak and enjoy the beach. Dinner was my favorite part because the seafood tasted fresh and the portions were plentiful. The only hiccup was a short wait during the transfer at the harbor, but it was not the cruise’s fault. Overall, this is a great option for couples who want something scenic without the high luxury price tag.

Our experience was fantastic. Everything from start to finish was meticulously planned, with outstanding staff and accommodations. Squid ensured we were well looked after, and the dining and service were top-notch. On our next journey, we’ll aim for a two-night stay.

The overall experience was fantastic, with both the cuisine and entertainment being enjoyable. However, the activities felt a bit brief. The scenery from the cruise was absolutely stunning. Tracy

This was my first time in Vietnam, and Doria Cruise ended up being the most memorable part of the trip. I reached out to HalongHub a bit nervously, but Hannah was patient and helped me compare ships without pushing anything. The cabin looked exactly like the photos, especially the bathroom which was cleaner than most hotels I stayed in. The cooking class was simple but fun, and the sunset from the sundeck was the most peaceful moment of my entire holiday. The only thing I’d change is that breakfast was a little early for my liking, but I understand they try to keep the itinerary efficient. I would recommend this cruise to solo travelers who want easygoing service and a calm route through Lan Ha Bay.

I chose Doria Cruise after chatting with Hannah from HalongHub, who immediately understood that I wanted something mid-range but still comfortable for a short 2-day trip. She was absolutely on point. The pickup from Hanoi was right on time, and the crew made boarding feel surprisingly relaxed. My cabin was brighter than I expected, with a wide window that made waking up to the limestone cliffs unforgettable. Meals were generous and way tastier than the usual “tour food” I’ve had elsewhere in Asia. I especially enjoyed kayaking in the quiet corners of Lan Ha; it felt much less crowded than my previous cruise in Ha Long years ago. If I had to mention a downside, the mattress was slightly firmer than I prefer, but I still slept fine. Doria feels perfect for couples and small groups wanting a friendly but not overly fancy boat. Bring a light jacket for the breezy top deck at night!

Staying with Doris Cruise was an incredible experience. Traci, a member of the staff, was extremely helpful and conducted herself with great professionalism. Thank you!

I booked Doria after a friend recommended HalongHub, and Hannah helped finalize everything smoothly. The cruise struck a great balance between organized and laid-back. The lunch right after boarding set the tone, fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. The cabin felt airy and had direct views of the limestone cliffs drifting by. I appreciated that the crew always checked if anyone needed help during kayaking, especially families. If I had to note one con, it’s that the port area gets hectic during boarding hours, but once you’re on the boat, everything slows down. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a relaxing overnight trip.
