BEACH AND CULTURE IN VIETNAM
Vietnam offers an interesting alternative to Thailand, with a Buddhist culture more influenced by China. There are some tempting top-end beach resorts, too.
Abercrombie & Kent offers a nine-night tailor-made “Vietnam Culture & Beach” itinerary combining the sights of Ho Chi Minh City with the soft sand beach of Ninh Van Bay. Staying in the Six Senses resort, take a luxury cruise and enjoy the spa.
