About Doria Cruise
Get on an unforgettable adventure with the new luxurious cruise - Doria Cruise!
Expected to be launched in February 2025, Doria Cruise promises a stylish journey with elegant accommodations, high-class facilities, an exciting itinerary and 5-star service. The cruise features 25 balcony cabins where you can enjoy modern amenities and a spectacular view no matter day or night. All the facilities keep you entertained and relaxed for the whole time, such as 4-season swimming pool, sky bar, luxurious spa, etc. The culinary voyage is filled with diverse local and interaction cuisine. You can also feel free to request diet meals like vegan, non-seafood, gluten-free, or more.
The itinerary takes you to highlights of Lan Ha Bay. You can immerse in the glass water in the Tra Bau Area, kayak or take a leisure sampan boat through Dark-Bright Cave. If you have more time to spend, a further part with tranquil scenery will surely amaze you. That is a cycling trip around rustic Viet Hai Village or soothing kayaking at hidden islands in the bay. Either you stay 1 or 2 nights, don't miss interesting activities onboard like sunset party, cooking demonstration, squid fishing, or Taichi session on the sundeck.
Lots of fun and relaxation await you on Doria Cruise. Book now!

Asked by lalla · 1 year, 1 month ago
Does your activity include a visit to Song Sot Cave? Can I request a one-way service from Hanoi to the cruise pier? How much does it cost?
1 answerAAnswered by Helen · 1 year, 1 month ago
Dear Lalla, Please be advised that Doria Cruise's itinerary focuses on exploring the beautiful Lan Ha Bay which does not include Sung Sot Cave. You might consider some alternatives for exploring Sung Sot Cave like Hermes Cruise, Ambassador Cruise, and Paradise Elegance Cruise. As for the one-way transfer from Hanoi to the cruise pier, we do offer a shuttle bus service for $15 per person, and the pick-up location is in the Hanoi Old Quarter area. We hope this information is helpful. Best regards, Helen

Dear Justin, Please be advised that the transfer service is not included in the cruise tour. The roundtrip shuttle bus Hanoi - Halong - Hanoi costs 30 USD/person. If you need any further assistance, feel free to reach out to us. Kind regards, Tearis
