  1. Yubin P

    Amazing journey with Doris Cruise. Very well organized. The atmosphere is fantastic. Excellent cuisine. On the second day, it was my birthday, and they made me an exquisite cake with a complimentary drink. As someone who has worked as a tour guide and is familiar with the profession, I can say that it is very well organized, and I recognize a competent tour guide when I see one. Trung is a true gentleman, humorous and mischievous, and he makes this a memorable experience. Thank you also to number four, who sang me a happy birthday song on the cruise…

  2. Arie T

    Doris cruise was a pleasant experience. Mr. Lee worked as our coordinator. He took care of all of our needs and kept us up to date on all of the goings-on.He also instructed the kitchen staff to offer us vegetarian food because we were vegetarians.Overall, his presence made our onboarding/offboarding/doing activities, etc. go more smoothly.

  3. Park K

    Brian was an excellent tour guide. The kayaking was fantastic! We wished we had spent more time there rather than Titop Island because it was extremely crowded in both the swimming area and the overlook, which was to be expected but not somewhere we wanted to remain for long. It was beautiful to wake up to the limestone structures.

  4. H K

  5. Tol

    It was an amazing trip. Mr Lee was really accommodating and helpful. Mr Lee made the overall cruise experience fantastic.

4. If I plan to book a flight right after the cruise, what time should I book ?

The cruise would be back to the port at 11:30. It then take 3 hours to get back to Hanoi airport & 45 mins to get to Hai Phong airport. As a results, we strongly suggest:

  • Flight from Cat Bi Airport (Hai Phong City): After 2pm
  • Flight from Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi City): After 5pm
5. What should I pack for the cruise ?

When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.

 Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)

It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.

Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.
