Our Vietnam Discovery program features a cultural-inspiring journey to the exotic land of Vietnam, offering our guests a truly unique and magical experience little known to even the most distinguished travelers.

Your introduction to Vietnam begins with Ho Chi Minh City, forever known as Saigon and the "Paris of the East". In recent years, Ho Chi Minh City has rapidly become one of Asia's hottest spots, featuring Vietnam's best cuisines, a bustling nightlife and accommodations.  Journey southwest to the Mekong Delta region. Visit the Mekong River islands with their "monkey bridges", or makeshift footbridges built of uneven logs above the canals; followed by Can Tho, an important commercial center and river port of the Mekong that boasts a colorful floating market and ancient architectures.

Next, a short flight from Saigon will take you to Da Nang, infamous for its Cham Museum, the Marble Mountains and China Beach. Your next stop is Hoi An, one of Southeast Asia's most important ports for many centuries. Today, Hoi An is unsurpassed for its charm and has blossomed into an artists' colony and home to numerous well-preserved ancient buildings like no other town in Vietnam.  Travel along the picturesque Hai Van pass onto Hue, an imperial city that was the cultural and intellectual center of Vietnam for centuries.

Your journey continues in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, a city of lakes, shaded boulevards and public parks. With narrow alleyways lined with shop-houses selling traditional handicrafts and arts, the old center is an enchanting place to wander.  Embark on a private chartered wooden boat for a memorable trip to Ha Long Bay.   View the magnificent limestone cliffs and stunning sceneries while having a seafood lunch on board.

Next, board the Victoria Express train to SaPa.  Visit the colorful Coc Ly market to watch the local ethnic minorities trade their goods and socialize.  Journey downstream by boat on the Chay River to enjoy the magnificent view of Sapa and have a picnic lunch en route.  Trek around the Ta Van area and visit the homes of the H'Mong and Dzay villages.

Discover Vietnam on this extraordinary journey.  The experience will sure imprint in your heart precious memories that will last a lifetime.
