A land of staggering natural beauty and cultural complexities, of dynamic megacities and hill-tribe villages - Vietnam is both exotic and compelling.
Unforgettable experiences are everywhere in Vietnam. There’s the sublime: gazing over a surreal seascape of limestone islands from the deck of a traditional junk in Halong Bay. And the contemplative: witnessing a solitary grave in a cemetery of thousands of war victims.
Hanoi still retains a French flavor in their pavement cafes, architecture, and wide tree-lined boulevards. We also cruise over the limestone archipelago of Halong Bay.
