Itinerary
You'll begin your holiday with three nights in Siem Reap, home to the largest religious monument in the world—the near-thousand-year-old Angkor Wat temple complex, which you will be able to explore thoroughly on the second day.

On the fourth day, you will travel to Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, where you'll have two nights to discover this exotic city of "glimmering spires" and "fluttering saffron robes" (Lonely Planet).

Next, you'll take an air-conditioned tourist coach to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, where you will spend a further three nights. On your first full day, you will be transferred to the Mekong Delta to explore Vietnam's largest rice bowl by riverboat, stopping off at Unicorn Island to sample orchard fruits and see local farmers at work.

Following a night in Hanoi, you will embark on an overnight cruise to take in Halong Bay's limestone pillars, emerald-green waters and forested boulders. Onboard activities include tai chi and cookery classes, and there will be plenty of free time for wild swimming. All your meals are included on board.

You'll then return to Hanoi, where you'll spend two nights and have the opportunity to watch a traditional water-puppet show before being transferred to the airport for your return flight.
