$1799—Save up to $1246 on 5-star North-to-South Vietnam tour

Vietnam is having a moment, and this tour shows why. It packs history, food, scenery and city energy into a trip that feels rich, varied and easy to say yes to. This 10-day, 5-star small-group tour follows the classic north-to-south route, beginning with Hanoi’s old-quarter bustle before slowing the pace on an overnight Halong Bay cruise. From there, the journey moves through central Vietnam, where Hoi An brings lantern-lit streets and a gentler rhythm. Hue adds imperial history along the Perfume River, before Ho Chi Minh City shifts the mood again with markets, colonial-era landmarks and big-city energy. You’ll finish with the Mekong Delta, where river life gives the trip a softer final note. The comfort level is the real difference: 8 nights in 5-star hotels, a group capped at 16 guests, local guides and two internal flights within Vietnam. At $1799 per person, the price feels entry-level. The experience does not.

Itinerary highlights

In Hanoi, French colonial architecture, lakeside boulevards, and fast-moving street life create a city where tradition and modern energy coexist, with local food culture woven through every corner.

Across Halong Bay, limestone karsts rise dramatically from emerald water as you cruise between mist-covered islands aboard an overnight vessel surrounded by one of Vietnam’s most iconic landscapes.

Returning to Hanoi, the city reveals another layer through hidden alleyways, café culture and historic temples before continuing south.

In Danang, sweeping beaches and modern coastal energy provide a contrast to the country’s older imperial centres and historic towns.

Through Hoi An, lantern-lit streets, riverside cafés and preserved merchant houses create one of Vietnam’s most atmospheric settings, especially after dark when the old town glows with colour.

At Hue, imperial tombs, ancient citadels and the Perfume River reveal the legacy of Vietnam’s former royal capital.

In Ho Chi Minh City, French-era buildings, rooftop bars and endless streams of motorbikes create a city defined by movement, commerce and constant energy.

Across the Mekong Delta, narrow waterways, floating markets and palm-lined canals reveal a slower rhythm of life shaped entirely by the river.

Returning to Ho Chi Minh City, the journey closes among lively food streets, bustling markets and the city’s unmistakable urban intensity.
