Vietnam: The Dragon's Emerald Bays, French Quarters, and Lantern Cities
Vietnam captivates the senses with its astonishing landscapes and infectious energy. From the thousand limestone karsts rising from the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay to the lantern-lit cobblestones of Hoi An, every day feels like cinema.
In Hanoi, stroll past colonial French villas and tranquil lakes, sipping creamy egg coffee before departing for Ha Long Bay. Board an ultra-luxury wooden junk ship, waking to morning Tai Chi on the sun deck as limestone pinnacles emerge from the morning mist.
Travel south to Da Nang, riding the world's longest single-track cable car to the iconic Golden Bridge, cradled high above the clouds by giant stone hands. Nearby, UNESCO-listed Hoi An glows each evening with thousands of colorful silk lanterns reflecting in the river.
In Ho Chi Minh City, modern vitality pulses through rooftop sky bars and French colonial boulevards, offering a thrilling finale to your Southeast Asian adventure.
"Sailing through Ha Long Bay as the morning mist burns off limestone towers is one of the world's great natural spectacles."
