• 12 nights in upscale hotels and one night on a ship
• Breakfast daily, plus four lunches and seven dinners
• Daily sightseeing with English-speaking tour guides
• All taxes and fees

Highlights include: touring the cities of Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Hoi An and Hanoi; exploring Angkor Archaeological Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site); sailing on the Mekong Delta to floating markets and handicraft villages; and visiting the Imperial City in Hue, Vietnam.

Depart March 21, April 18 or May 9. Or, leave on March 7 for $3239 per person including tax.
