Full Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive in Hanoi – Whisper of the Past
Arrive in Hanoi, where time weaves through boulevards shaded by banyan trees and the scent of jasmine tea floats on the breeze. After seamless VIP arrival service, transfer privately to your tranquil boutique hotel. As twilight descends, enjoy a welcome dinner in a French colonial villa where Vietnam’s classic flavors are reinterpreted with contemporary artistry.
Dinner
Day 2: Hanoi – Stories Behind Every Stone
Begin with a visit to the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum and his humble stilt house, set in gardens perfumed by frangipani. Continue to the Temple of Literature — a thousand-year-old cradle of Vietnamese learning. Pause for a cup of silky egg coffee at a hidden café where revolutionaries once whispered dreams of independence. This afternoon, lose yourself among the artisans, spice vendors, and silk shops of the Old Quarter.
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 3: Ha Long Bay – Sailing Through Dreamscapes
Leave Hanoi’s streets behind as you drive toward the jade waters of Ha Long Bay. Board your luxurious vessel and set sail through a wonderland of limestone towers draped in mist. Spend the afternoon kayaking into hidden caves or lounging on deck with a cocktail in hand. Tonight, dine on the freshest seafood under a starlit sky, lulled by the gentle rhythm of the water.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4: Ha Long Bay to Hue – From Water to Imperial Grandeur
Begin your day with a Tai Chi session at sunrise. Cruise past secluded coves before returning to port. A short flight carries you south to Hue, Vietnam’s poetic imperial city. As evening falls, enjoy a quiet dinner along the Perfume River, the air filled with the fragrance of lotus blossoms.
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 5: Hue – Echoes of Royalty
Step into the past with a visit to the Imperial Citadel, where moss-cloaked gates and faded red walls whisper tales of dynasties lost. Glide along the Perfume River by dragon boat to Thien Mu Pagoda, serenaded by the soft toll of temple bells. In the afternoon, explore the melancholic beauty of the tombs of Tu Duc and Khai Dinh, where artistry and ambition lie etched in stone.
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 6: Hai Van Pass to Hoi An – Where Mountains Meet the Sea
Travel south over the spectacular Hai Van Pass, with vistas of misty mountains plunging into sapphire seas. Pause to walk along Lang Co Beach’s powdery sands before reaching Hoi An, the lantern-lit ancient town suspended in time. This evening, join locals in the tradition of launching a floating lantern onto the Thu Bon River — your whispered wish carried downstream into the starry night.
Breakfast, Dinner
Day 7: Hoi An – Timeless Traditions
Wake to the scent of the sea breeze. Cycle into the countryside where farmers tend lush vegetable gardens, and buffalo graze under coconut palms. At a rustic farmstead, learn to cook regional dishes — mi quang noodles, savory spring rolls — using herbs plucked fresh from the fields. Return to town to wander colorful markets or commission a tailor to craft bespoke garments in shimmering silks.
Breakfast, Lunch
Day 8: Fly to Ho Chi Minh City – Rhythms of the Modern Metropolis
Fly south to vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, where colonial architecture rubs shoulders with sleek skyscrapers. Embark on a curated city tour, exploring the Central Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the lively Ben Thanh Market. Toast your arrival with sundowners overlooking the kaleidoscopic skyline from a rooftop bar.
