Great experience

There are so many cruises to visit Halong Bay that it's tough to pick the best one. And without Janet from BestPrice Travel, the decision would have been even more difficult.
The two-day tour with Doris Cruise exceeded our expectations. The implementation was flawless, as were the directions for transportation and activities. Janet, thank you for everything.

Excellent

We looked at many cruises before choosing, and we chose the Doris because it has 5 stars and has very good comments.
The staff was very friendly at all times, Vanh helped us and she was charming.
We chose a Connecting Family Cabin, they were very good, both the beds and the bathrooms, both with a balcony.
The wifi is bad as expected, which gave us more time to get close to nature.
