Luxury Halong Bay Cruise Experience (North Vietnam)

Spend 180 kilometres past farmlands to legendary Ha Long Bay. Embark on board your traditional, junk-style vessel for an overnight cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed area. As the cruise navigates emerald waters while marvelling at limestone karst islands, enjoy a seafood lunch. Climb to the top of a lookout point for panoramic views or kayaking into a secluded bay. Later, watch a cooking demonstration before an optional night squid fishing. Early risers can take Tai Chi on deck. Transfer to Sung Sot Cave (Surprise Cave) to explore colorful grottoes of stalactites.

Charming Hoi An Ancient Town Tour (Central Vietnam)

Take a walking tour to discover the ancient town of Hoi An, a UNESCO site. Visit relics that span 2,000 years of history, the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge (built in the 1590s), and the ornate Phuc Kien Assembly Hall. Stroll through the central market to meet vendors. Step into the unique Tan Ky ancient house, featuring architecture influenced by European, Vietnamese, and Chinese styles. Spend your free day here enjoying the lantern-lit streets, Basket boat tour, or Tra Que Vegetable Villages.

Cu Chi Tunnels Day Tour (South Vietnam)

Journey approximately 60 kilometres to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, constructed by Vietnamese fighters during the country’s long fight for independence. Watch a short introduction video to learn more about their construction before exploring a section of tunnels used as hospitals, schools, kitchens, weapon storage, and living quarters. Witness how 10,000 people lived undetected by foreign troops in this hidden tunnel system.

Phnom Penh City Tour & The Killing Fields (Cambodia)

Discover the fascinating, yet poignant, history of the Cambodian capital. Breakfast at hotel before exploring the magnificent Royal Palace (built in 1866) and the Silver Pagoda. Later, discover the grim reminders of Cambodia’s bloody past under Pol Pot at the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek. This historical piece of Indochina’s puzzle commemoratives 1.7 million victims—a distressing yet important piece of history. Optional flight upgrade is available.

Angkor Wat Full Day Tour (Siem Reap)

Set out on a full-day tour to witness the most famous of all the temples on the plain of Angkor, the legendary Angkor Wat. The temple complex covers 81 hectares, comparable in size to the Imperial Palace in Beijing. Marvel at the south gate of Angkor Thom, the Terrace of Elephants, and the Terrace of the Leper King. Visit Ta Prohm Temple, relatively untouched and retaining much of its mystery. Finish with a memorable sunset over the ancient five towers.
