Description

Doria Cruise is a 5-star boat on Tuan Chau Island, 8.1 km from the centre of Ha Long, with sea-view rooms, an outdoor swimming pool and spa facilities on board. It suits travellers who want to sleep on the water in Ha Long Bay while keeping resort-style facilities close at hand.

The accommodation ranges from the Deluxe Double or Twin Room, 30 m² with a private pool and a private hot tub, to the Deluxe Family Suite, which sleeps up to five. Between them are three rooms with sea views: the Triple Room, the King Room and the Family Room with Sea View. Every room has its own private bathroom, and the bed layouts suit couples, groups and families.

Guests can book a cooking class, and the staff speak English and Vietnamese. A buffet breakfast is served each morning, and the outdoor swimming pool is open year-round. Guests praise the friendly staff and the sailing and boating activities, which are among the highlights of a stay on board.

Rooms

5 room types

Doria Cruise has five room types, and each one has a private bathroom. The Deluxe Double or Twin Room is the most fully equipped: at 30 m² it has a private pool and a private hot tub, as well as air conditioning, a view and a flat-screen TV. Three rooms have sea views: the Triple Room with Sea View sleeps up to four, with a single bed and a large king-size bed, the King Room with Sea View has one large king-size bed for two, and the Family Room with Sea View sleeps up to six.

The Deluxe Family Suite is the option for larger groups, with two single beds and two extra-large super-king beds for up to five guests. The number of guests is the simplest guide to choosing: a couple will be comfortable in the King Room, while a family of five or six can book the suite or the Family Room. The cooking class, the pool and the spa are shared by all the room types.

The Tuần Châu Ferry Terminal is 700 m from the property, and Tuan Chau Park, the island's theme park, is 1.1 km away. Tuan Chau Beach is 1.2 km away.

The property is 8.1 km from the centre of Ha Long. Bai Chay Bus Terminal is 6.9 km away, and Hạ Long train station is 7 km away, so both are practical links for travellers who want to leave the island by road.
