Doris Cruise was launched in June 2022 and brings 25 modern cabins, each with a private balcony and an ocean-view bathtub. The ship features a 350 sqm dining area, an outdoor jacuzzi pool, and a sky bar – a fresh new choice for 5-star cruising in Lan Ha Bay.
The dining area is one of the largest on any overnight cruise in the bay, allowing guests to enjoy meals al fresco while watching limestone islands drift past. The sky bar tops the vessel with panoramic views ideal for the sunset party each evening.
The 3-day itinerary adds a full excursion to Viet Hai Village on Cat Ba Island, kayaking at Tai Keo Cave area, and swimming at Ba Trai Dao – one of the most pristine beaches in Lan Ha Bay.
