Probably the most famous site in Vietnam is the sensational limestone karst scenery of Halong Bay. The best way to see and appreciate this absolutely beautiful natural place is by taking an overnight cruise. But with hundreds of boats plying these waters, choosing the right one matters. We only recommend a select few—ones that take quieter, less touristy routes or offer a special onboard experience.
The boats that we have selected have superb facilities, excellent and knowledgeable guides and personalised service. They are also fully safety-regulated and maintained to international standards. We won’t use a boat that has not passed stringent safety tests.
It’s also possible to take an overnight river cruise in the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam such as the Bassac Cruise. It's is a great way to get off the beaten track and explore a side of Vietnam that few tourists ever see.
Also, it is possible to cruise right up the Mekong River from Saigon to Siem Reap and the Angkor Temple complex in Cambodia (or vice versa). Talk to our consultants who will be happy to advise on the cruise that fits into your luxury Vietnam holiday best.
