One of the true highlights of Vietnam is its endless variety of marine and riverine landscapes. Board your own private cruise vessel to explore the wonders of Halong Bay. Kayaking and swimming opportunities, fishing village and pearl farm excursions complement the bay’s majestic scenery. Glide past hidden corners of the Mekong Delta on a luxurious wooden river cruiser, pausing to walk, cycle or row through verdant delta villages and meet the creative locals. Add the historic, bustling capital city Hanoi and the always dynamic Ho Chi Minh City to the mix, and you have the full package.

This is an example of one of our classic tailor-made holidays in Vietnam - we'll be pleased to design similar Vietnam vacations with dates and itinerary customised to your personal preferences.
