Vietnam is a nation reborn, and we invite you to discover the depth of its beauty on this Asian adventure. Traversing the entire country from north to south, you’ll travel Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, stopping en route to explore the idyllic seaside retreat of Nha Trang, the French-flavored hilltop town of Dalat, and much more. We’ll even have the opportunity to see both the sunset and sunrise over magical Halong Bay during an overnight cruise aboard a traditional junk—an intimate experience that’s only possible in a small group like ours. From the cities to the seaside to the highlands, let Vietnam’s warmth and beauty amaze you—in all its diversity.
