Inolvidable experiencia

Todo. Experiencia absolutamente maravillosa. Instalaciones, servicio, comida, actividades…. Una maravilla. A destacar la amabilidad y simpatía de nuestra camarera, Cheese. Un encanto de persona. Otra sugerencia, si tenéis tiempo y presupuesto, muchisimo mejor el programa de 3 dias-2 noches. Adentrarse en la zona de Lan Ha, mucho menos atestada de barcos; y las actividades del día hicieron nuestra experiencia inolvidable.

Nada. Todo increíble.

Definitely our favorite and definitely will come back!

We like how proactive the crews services are and how they took care of us, especially “Cheese” Linh Chi, she was exceptional.

The Wifi and TV functionality could improve otherwise everything was perfect.

A 5* experience from beginning to end!

Dora Cruise was the most efficient experience we had whilst in Vietnam. We opted for the transfers to and from our hotel in Hanoi which was very comfortable. Although there have been comments on stopping at the pearl factory, it is only for 30mins, similarly there have been a few comments on the boat ride to the big boat, but it does allow for a great tour of the bay prior to boarding the bigger boat. Our room was incredible and the staff were very helpful. Although there are a variety of activities these are definitely an opt in/opt out which was beneficial for us as on the second day we chose to enjoy our cabins balcony.

Absolutely nothing, however I would suggest offering the option to eat outside on deck as there are many tables.

Had the best time and was the highlight of our trip to Vietnam

It was a clean, beautiful property with all basic amenities. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. They happily did babysitting for us so that we could do activities, have fun or eat in peace. Also, they tried customising our food as per our individual preferences and choices which was commendable

Cant think of anything. Everything was perfect.

Great Cruise for a 3day/2night stay

The boat was well maintained and spacious, did not feel congested at any point during my stay. The rooms were clean, conformable and the balcony was a nice addition. The staff especially Bruce, Lyn and Nam were very accommodating and helpful. Activities were well coordinated. Enjoyed the 3day/2night package as there was enough time to relax on the boat and partake in activities (e.g. Cat Ba island tour) without feeling rushed.

The wifi was limited throughout the journey (mentioned at the start of the trip) and had to rely on mobile data when available. Would recommend to upgrade the wifi service for better coverage.

Okay for one night

All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Room had a balcony which was nice and peaceful

Room had single bed and a double ( only needed one bed) so made the room small and no space at one side of bed. Bed linen and towels not very good quality. Food was average.

Amazing 3 day, 2 nights stay

Everything was great. Really amazing food, great trips from the boat and cozy atmosphere. All staff members were wonderful and welcoming. Especially Cheese who was always smiling, helpful and went the extra mile :-) We would happily come back again.

The guitar music covers that were on repeat at the restaurant all the time was a bit annoying. Just play some Vietnamese music instead :-)

Flott cruise og god service.

Veldig fine og komfortable rom. Servicen var god og personalet var vennlige og hyggelige.

Badekaret på rommet hadde nesten ikke vanntrykk så vi fikk ikke benyttet badekaret. Noen andre gjester sa det samme om sitt badekar.

Wonderful 2-night stay!

Our two-night stay with Dora Cruises was exceptional. The staff's attentiveness and friendliness made the experience memorable. Seamless transfers to and from Hanoi and the airport added to the convenience. Although the weather made kayaking and swimming less viable, the day trips remained enjoyable. The outstanding food, coupled with a not-too-crowded atmosphere, created a pleasant dining experience. The beautiful scenery served as a picturesque backdrop to the entire cruise. Overall, Dora Cruises offers a delightful escape with excellent service and stunning surroundings.

Some minor maintenance needs to be addressed.

Not interesting

The staff were very nice and helpful in spite that they don’t speak English.

The food variety in breakfast was very limited. Small insects were present in the rooms and bathrooms and everywhere. They charged us extra 3 % for payment with credit cards when we used the spa. TV wasn’t working and no other entertainment was available.

There were some cockroaches in our room, which was not great but we dealt with them!!

Super hyggelig og flot tur med den sødeste besætning!

Super fin Cruise, hvor vi havde booket 2D1N, hvilket vi syntes var rigeligt. Besætningen var mega søde og hjælpsomme hele vejen igennem. Guiden var meget glad for at fortælle om Vietnam og de lokale liv, når vi var ude på “transportbånden”, inden vi nåede ud til selve cruisen, og når vi skulle ud og se Bright/Dark Cave. På selve cruisen havde man en fast tjener i restauranten, hvor vi var så heldige at få den sødeste, Dian. Udover at være meget hjælpsom, høflig og sød, overraskede hun os (sammen med resten af besætningen) med en kage i anledning af vores bryllupsrejse. Generelt en rigtig fin oplevelse, som kan anbefales at tage med Dora Cruise.

Manglede shampoo og elkedel virkede ikke.

Pretty good. My kids LOVED it.

My kids loved this cruise! The views were unbeatable. Food was fantastic. The staff was also great. Also the rooftop jacuzzi. Our favorite activity was the kayaking. Make sure to do the 2 night option otherwise you will be missing out.

I was not impressed with the itinerary. Viet Hai village was beautiful but seemed manufactured for tourists. Three peaches beach is super lame. Dark cave is closed and bright cave took about 1 minute to pass through (it was awesome though.) All of these activities require leaving the main cruise ( which does very little cruising.) Also, I saw cockroaches in our room, but maybe all the cruises have them. This cruise did seem much nicer than a lot of other ships we passed. My goal was to have the best view of LAN Ha bay and that was accomplished.

Not what you expect

Comfortable and very friendly staff

It is expensive in comparison with what you get, the food is not bad but also not really good. The only drinks you get for free is one bottle of water in the room, tea with the tea break, coffee tea with breakfast, and you can get water with the lunch. Other drinks you have to buy and they are really expensive 1 latte is 120.000 dong thats more than 4 euros… one cocktail can costs you 209.000/300.000 dong. The rooms are really nice and the view is amazing, but we found a lot of cockroaches in the room, black mold in the shower and many black hairs everywhere. We are no difficult people but for 265 euros per night is expected more.
