DAY 1 – March 31, 2026

Disembark the ship in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to the Tan Son Nhat Airport for a flight to Hanoi.

Upon arrival in Hanoi, the cultural heart and capital of Vietnam, embark a scenic three-hour drive to discover a patchwork of rice paddy fields and ethnic communities in the peaceful Mai Chau valley. Here, the hustle and bustle of the city is replaced with meandering country roads that open to picturesque fields and mountains. This is your opportunity to reconnect with the simple life and experience hill tribe culture in the rolling hills of northern Vietnam.

Enjoy lunch at a local house in the village before check-in to your hotel around midday. Mai Chau is home to several ethnic communities including the Dzao, Muong and Thai tribes, and this afternoon you can discover some of their diverse traditions and ways of life. Visit the villages of Na Phon and Na Meo and stop to chat with locals to learn a bit about their lifestyle and how little has changed over the years.

Your stay for two nights is at Mai Chau Ecolodge which set into a flower-lined hill in the village of Na Phon. Enjoy beautiful panoramas of Mai Chau’s seemingly endless rows of rice paddies, forests and tree-topped mountains.

Mai Chau Ecolodge’s philosophy and mission are:

•To provide closeness to nature through location and use of sustainable materials throughout the lodge;

•Environmental protection from use of materials from sustainable sources as well as using clean energy;

•Cultural preservation – all staff are employed from local villages and wear the uniform of the minority group to which they belong and in the evening Panorama Bar becomes a stage for beautiful tribal customs through dance and music;

•Responsible tourism with a commitment to Mai Chau and its inhabitants

DAY 2 – April 1, 2026

Drive about one and a half hours from Mai Chau to explore Pu Luong, a nature reserve filled with limestone mountains, rice terraces and ethnic villages. Take a break and freshen up at Pu Luong Retreat before heading out to explore the local village on foot for about two and a half kilometers (one and a half miles). Walk to a suspension bridge that crosses the Cham River and continue along the waterway lined with rustic water wheels. This simple, age-old technology offers an effective way of diverting river water into bamboo aqueducts. Stop at a local fisherman’s house before setting off on a river rafting adventure. Learn how to paddle and steer while drifting down the river on the handcrafted raft and enjoy the natural scenery along the way.

After about an hour on the raft, you arrive at Tan Lap Bridge where your driver is waiting to meet you. Return to Pu Luong Retreat and savor idyllic views of mountains and rice terraces with your Vietnamese set lunch. Return to your hotel in Mai Chau in the afternoon and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

DAY 3 – April 2, 2026

After a leisurely morning with breakfast at your lodge, check out and depart Mai Chau. On the way back to Hanoi, stop by Van village to explore a private collection of tribal antiques, hunting equipment, musical instruments, and jewellery. The journey to Hanoi takes approximately three hours.

Back on your cyclo, continue along a leafy street lined with French colonial villas. Stop to explore the city’s largest fresh food market where many of the city’s shops and restaurants source their produce.

Then savor a typical Hanoian breakfast at one of the city’s best pho noodle hotspots.

Return to your hotel to refresh and enjoy a full breakfast.

DAY 1

Disembark the ship in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to the Tan Son Nhat Airport for a flight to Hue.

Set along the picturesque Perfume River, Hue is a captivating city that enjoyed an illustrious history as the center of power for Vietnam’s former imperial rulers. The Nguyen dynasty emperors enjoyed a 143-year reign, from 1802 until 1945, when Emperor Bao Dai conceded to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The city still maintains much of its majestic charm, where elaborate royal tombs and an imposing Imperial Citadel reveal the extravagant lifestyles of former emperors.

Visit the Imperial Citadel, the seat from which the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945. Despite sustaining extensive damage during the war, the citadel still contains over 100 buildings to explore, including the Imperial Enclosure, a citadel-within-a-citadel which contains the Forbidden Purple City, the former living quarters of the emperor.

After lunch at local restaurant, check-in to your hotel and enjoy some free time to refresh.

In the afternoon, meet your guide and Vespa driver at your hotel to begin an exciting discovery of local life in Hue, traveling on the back of a vintage Vespa. This excursion offers a remarkable combination of adventure, exploration and authentic local experience as your Vespa takes you through some of the city’s less-traveled roads.

Witness the charming scenery of Hue while enjoying local hospitality along your journey. Take advantage of the spectacular photo opportunities en route to Vong Canh Hill. Once at the top of the hill, enjoy panoramic views over the Perfume River and an area known as Royal Valley, where various members of the Nguyen Dynasty are buried. Sip a glass of champagne while contemplating the serene river landscape. If you are lucky, you may also catch views of the sunset here, if the skies are clear.

After drinking in the atmosphere, continue on your Vespa to visit the home of the Doan family or similar. The family warmly welcomes you into their home and host you for dinner while sharing stories of their family and life in Hue. This is a typical local family with three generations living together under one roof. Taking pride in their long-standing traditions, the family ensure that their customs are passed down from generation to generation.

Note: Each guest will ride on the back of a Vespa scooter while an experienced local driver. A helmet will be provided. The tour guide will follow on the back of another Vespa.

DAY 2

After breakfast, start the day with a scenic boat ride along the Perfume River, taking in the enchanting scenery along the riverbanks as you make your way to Thien Mu Pagoda. One of the oldest religious monuments in Hue, the seven-story structure is featured in many Vietnamese folk songs and is considered an icon of the city.

Next, take a short drive to the tomb of Tu Duc, the “Poet Emperor.” A lover of romance and eastern philosophies, the emperor designed his own tomb within an enchanting garden of pine trees and frangipanis overlooking a lake. Stop by an incense-making village before continuing to the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh whose burial place reflects the European influences at play during his reign.

After lunch at a local restaurant, relax on a three-hour-and-a-half transfer to Hoi An, taking the route along the Hai Van Pass, a scenic stretch of road that offers spectacular views of the coastline.

In Danang, visit the Cham Museum which houses over 300 stone art treasures including sandstone carvings, alters, lings, garudas, ganeshas and images of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. Continue to the Marble Mountains, which are named after the five elements of Chinese philosophy - metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

Next, visit Non Nuoc, nicknamed China Beach, which was once a rest-and-relaxation area for U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War before you reach to Hoi An Ancient Town.

Check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.

DAY 3

After breakfast, head out on a 6-mile leisurely bicycle ride to a small vegetable farming village on the outskirts of Hoi An to meet a local vegetable farmer who works the land and grows various crops using organic and traditional methods. You are welcomed with a refreshing drink of freshly squeezed fruits.

Then roll up your sleeves to experience a typical day on the farm. Learn about the different farming equipment and their uses. Then join the farmers in the field to prepare the land for sewing or crop cultivation and help fertilize the soil using seaweed from the nearby river. Pick some vegetables and herbs from the garden and head to the kitchen to make a local specialty using the freshly harvested ingredients. The best part, of course, is the chance to taste the local light snack that you made yourselves. Return to Hoi An town by car or van.

The afternoon is spent to explore the charms of Hoi An’s old town on foot. Stroll through winding streets and past rows of traditional houses to appreciate the grand architecture of the Old House of Tan Ky, an 18th-century merchant's house, and admire the traditional elegance of the Fukien Assembly Hall. Pass through the impressive 400-year-old Japanese covered bridge. Then continue to a local studio that makes traditional lanterns.
