$5699—23-nt Vietnam tour & Asia cruise w/free flights & stay

It’s a Southeast Asia odyssey that ends in our own backyard. Over 23 nights, you feel each region shift in tone. Begin in Ho Chi Minh City, where urban energy hums and history sits just beneath the surface. The Cu Chi Tunnels reveal Vietnam’s wartime resilience before the journey slows along the coast. Hoi An’s lantern-lit streets reward unhurried evenings. Cross the Hai Van Pass, one of the country’s most dramatic coastal drives, as mountains fall sharply into the sea. Hue brings imperial echoes and a quieter rhythm shaped by dynasty and river. Then the north begins to unfold. Hanoi feels layered and reflective, where daily life spills into the Old Quarter’s narrow lanes. Spend a night in Ha Long Bay when the water stills and light softens across limestone cliffs rising from emerald seas. After returning to Hanoi, the journey pivots. Fly to Singapore for a night in the city’s sleek, modern pulse before boarding Sapphire Princess. From here, the tempo changes and the journey home unfolds slowly. Sea days replace airport queues. The horizon widens as you sail toward Fremantle, with an overnight in Bali to explore properly. Each port feels distinct. Each country carries its own cadence. Flights, guided touring, hotel stays, cruising and transfers are included across the 23 nights. There may be no better way to come home. 

Starting at just $5699 per person, we couldn’t replicate this 23-night journey for less. Savings reach up to $2382 per person versus self-packaging. That’s effectively the flights, hotels and transfers included for free, plus a saving on the cruise.

Itinerary highlights

Begin in Ho Chi Minh City, where French-colonial façades and modern boulevards frame Vietnam’s southern capital before venturing to the Cu Chi Tunnels to explore the vast underground network that shaped wartime history.

Arrive in Hoi An, a lantern-lit riverside town of preserved merchant houses and quiet temples, with time to wander the UNESCO-listed Ancient Town at your own pace.

Travel over the dramatic Hai Van Pass to Hue, Vietnam’s former imperial capital, where citadels, pagodas and perfumed riverbanks reflect centuries of royal heritage.

Continue to Hanoi, settling into the rhythm of the Old Quarter, where lakeside walks, street food stalls and colonial architecture reveal the capital’s layered character.

Sail through Ha Long Bay, spending a night on emerald waters among towering limestone karsts, with kayaking in hidden lagoons and optional Tai Chi at sunrise.

Return to Hanoi before flying onward to Southeast Asia’s gleaming hub, where your land journey transitions to life at sea.

Experience Singapore, blending futuristic skylines, vibrant hawker culture and waterfront promenades before boarding Sapphire Princess.

Call at Kuala Lumpur (Port Klang), gateway to Malaysia’s dynamic capital of Petronas Towers, colourful markets and multicultural heritage.

Explore Penang, renowned for its colonial streets, temple-lined lanes and world-famous street food scene in George Town.

Relax in Phuket, Thailand’s largest island, where golden beaches and limestone seascapes define the Andaman coast.

Enjoy an overnight in Bali (Benoa), allowing time to discover temple rituals, lush rice terraces and the island’s serene spiritual atmosphere.

Conclude in Perth (Fremantle), where Western Australia’s relaxed coastal charm welcomes you home after a journey that unfolds gradually from river cities to open seas.
