Holiday ideas to Northern Vietnam

From its great cities and iconic temples to off-the-beaten-track gems, this tour takes in the must-see highlights of two Asian heavyweights – Vietnam and Cambodia.

Discover the best of Vietnam, taking in the country's vibrant northern capital Hanoi, the emerald waters of Halong Bay and the historically rich central coastal towns of Hue and Hoi An. Then, fly south Ho Chi Minh City and the magic of the Mekong Delta and the infamous Cu Chi Tunnels.

The Mekong Delta is often referred to as 'Vietnam's rice bowl'. This rich agricultural land supports a thriving population of farmers, who make their living amidst the abundant waterways that form the mouth of the mighty Mekong River, one of the world's great waterways.

This 13-day luxury tailor-made holiday through the northern reaches of Vietnam is far from the mass crowds of Sapa and Halong Bay but still features the dramatic scenery, trekking and cruising that the north is famous for, steeping you in culture, heritage and unrivalled natural beauty.

Vietnam is blessed with such variety from the enchanting Halong Bay to the bustling streets of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Hanoi. Laos is a land of laid back people, gilded temples and the mighty Mekong river, while Cambodia lays claim to the awesome and ancient temples of Angkor.

An overnight cruise on the sumptuous Paradise Peak Cruise. This sumptuous floating hotel offers some of the finest five-star cruising on Halong Bay. There are eight suites, each designed with both style and sophistication in mind.
