Close your eyes and imagine you’re nestled in the lap of luxury aboard a cruise, greeted each morning by a vista that defies description. The emerald sea stretches out before you, framed by towering limestone sentinels and untouched islands, a symphony of nature’s grandeur. Welcome to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that beckons travellers to embark on a voyage of unparalleled beauty through the heart of Vietnam.

Venturing 105 miles from the vibrant city of Hanoi, the journey to Ha Long Bay is a tapestry of anticipation and discovery. Amidst a sea of options, Doris Cruises emerges as a beacon of sophistication, offering a 2-day, 1-night odyssey through Ha Long and Lan Ha Bay. With meticulous planning facilitated through Klook, every aspect of our adventure was seamlessly orchestrated, from roundtrip transfers to the promise of unrivalled luxury aboard the Doris Cruise.
Navigating the Waters of Anticipation
As the appointed hour for pick-up approached, a fleeting moment of uncertainty gripped us. Yet, true to their reputation for excellence, Doris Cruises swiftly allayed our concerns, dispatching a luxury van to whisk us away to the marina. Along the way, a brief interlude at a pearl farm offered a tantalizing glimpse into the region’s rich cultural tapestry, setting the stage for the wonders that awaited.
Setting Sail into Splendour
Arriving at Tuan Chau International Marina, we embarked on the tender boat that would ferry us to the resplendent embrace of the Doris Cruise.

From exhilarating kayak excursions to serene moments of Tai Chi at sunrise, each day aboard the Doris Cruise unfolded with a sense of wonder and possibility. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we convened on deck for a sunset celebration, a fitting prelude to an evening of culinary delights and camaraderie.
Exploring the Depths of Discovery
Awakening to the gentle hues of dawn, we embarked on a tour of the dark and light caves, guided by a local expert whose insights illuminated the hidden wonders that lay concealed within. As our voyage drew to a close, we bid farewell to the Doris Cruise with gratitude for the memories forged amidst the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay.
