Visits to the Imperial Citadel, Dong Ba market and a cruise on the Perfume River are also on the itinerary, before traveling on to the country's capital, Hanoi, for a two-night stay at Sunway Hanoi.
After exploring the city, guests will head to spectacular Halong Bay (Bay of Descending Dragons), UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring thousands of limestone karsts and isles.
An overnight luxury cruise aboard a traditional wooden Huong Hai junk boat follows, allowing for time to take in the magnificent views of the unique landscape and mythical creatures.
