10 A FEAST FOR THE SENSES

Discover the culture, crafts and culinary traditions of Vietnam and Cambodia.

15 DAY TOUR: BEST OF VIETNAM & CAMBODIA Includes return flights to Hanoi, plus flights from Hanoi to Da Nang and Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City Cruise iconic Halong Bay on a traditional junk boat Visit the giant temples of Angkor Wat and explore Hoi An, considered Vietnam’s most beautiful city Feb 2023 – Nov 2023

Vietnam and Cambodia offer an incredible diversity of landscapes, cultures and regional food. After landing in Hanoi and taking a scenic drive through verdant rice fields, you’ll spend the night aboard a traditional junk boat. Sailing UNESCOlisted Halong Bay is a highlight and you’ll have the luxury of time so do it all. Marvel at the limestone karsts towering above blue waters, swim out to a hidden beach, visit a floating pearl farm and stretch out in a sunrise tai chi session. Sung Sot (Surprise) Cave lives up to its name: nestled into a cliff face 25 metres above sea level, this colourfully lit grotto opens up into two vast chambers punctuated by huge stalactites and stalagmites. You can choose your own adventure when calling back into Hanoi, as well as in the cities of Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City and Phnom Penh. Enjoy free time exploring the lively neighbourhoods or join optional excursions such as motoring the Mekong River or walking the Golden Bridge at Ba Na Hills, which appears to be held up by a pair of giant stone hands. Regroup for tours of must-sees including the hidden network of Viet Cong tunnels at Cu Chi and the temples of Angkor Wat, one of South-East Asia’s most important, and beautiful, archaeological sites. You’ll be fuelled by authentic flavours at every turn. Start the day with coffee and lashings of condensed milk. Create perfect rice-paper rolls at a cooking class. And taste your way around street-food markets in search of your favourite pho (a word of advice: those with a taste for spice should start off ordering it mediumhot – locals do chilli on a whole new level!).
