About Dora Cruise
Imagine gliding across the emerald water of Halong Bay and the less-traveled routes of Lan Ha Bay, you will find yourself on Dora Cruise, a 5-star floating sanctuary where modern elegance meets the timeless beauty.
From the moment you step onboard at Tuan Chau Marina, Dora Cruise wraps you in refined comfort and warm hospitality. Each of its 22 luxurious cabins boasts panoramic windows, a private balcony, and indulgent bathtubs – the perfect setting for romantic sunsets, serene mornings, or star-filled nights over the bay.
But Dora Cruise isn?t just a vessel – it?s a journey of discovery. Whether you?re kayaking through hidden lagoons, exploring the dramatic Dark and Bright Caves, lounging on pristine beaches like Ba Trai Dao, or simply savoring world-class Vietnamese and international cuisine crafted by expert chefs, every moment is designed to captivate your senses.
Indulge in wellness with spa treatments and Tai Chi sessions at dawn, toast with cocktails as the sun dips behind limestone silhouettes, and create unforgettable memories in one of the world?s most spectacular seascapes.
Dora Cruise turns a dream escape into reality, where every wave carries a new adventure
