Private Journey - Daily departure.

The mysterious land of Vietnam has blossomed into one of Asia's hottest spots in recently years. It is a place where friendly people, timeless traditions, breathtaking sceneries and vast entertainment coexist in complete harmony. A place where visitors have a rare opportunity to immerse in Vietnam's traditional culture. A place where simple pleasures remain the essence of everyday life. A place where visitors are embraced with warm, genuine hospitality unmatched by anywhere on Earth.

Embark on an extraordinary journey back in time, first to the "Paris of the East" -- affectionately known as Saigon. In recent years, Saigon has rapidly blossomed into one of Asia's hottest spots, featuring Vietnam's best cuisines, nightlife and accommodations.  In addition to visiting the remarkable sights in and around the city, you will have a chance to catch a glimpse of life in the "Bread Basket", exactly as it was half a century ago through an unforgettable private boat journey along the Mekong Delta.

Next, enjoy an ever-memorable experience to Halong Bay, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, that hypnotically transcends your body and soul to a new dimension, as you marvel its stunning sceneries while on board your privately chartered traditional Junk. We then proceed by road to Hanoi, Vietnam's capital, a city of lakes, shaded boulevards and public parks. With narrow alleyways lined with shop-houses selling silk products, traditional handicrafts and arts, the old quarter is an enchanting place to wander.  

Vietnam Impressions - a short, extraordinary journey to an enchanted land that will imprint in your heart precious memories that will last a lifetime.
