Hanoi
Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh City
Vietnam Slow Luxury 10 Days runs north to south with three-night stays in Hanoi (including one night on Ha Long Bay), Hoi An and Saigon.
Paced for slow travel. One unhurried outing a day, usually in the cooler morning, then back at the hotel by early afternoon for the pool, spa or afternoon tea. Late starts, private car and guide throughout, and time built in for coffee and conversation.
Best for: first-time clients who want all three regions in ten days. Ten days is one of the two trip lengths US, UK and Australian travellers search for most.
Meet and greet at Noi Bai International Airport and private transfer to the hotel. Time to rest after the flight.
Late afternoon, a short walk around Hoan Kiem Lake and an egg coffee in the Old Quarter. Welcome dinner at a selected Vietnamese restaurant.
Overnight: Capella Hanoi or Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi.
A slow breakfast, then a private morning visit to the Temple of Literature, Vietnam's first university, and Tran Quoc Pagoda on West Lake, with a coffee stop on the lake shore.
Back at the hotel by lunch. The afternoon is free for the spa, the pool or afternoon tea.
Overnight: Capella Hanoi or Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi.
Late-morning private transfer to the pier (about 2.5 hours on the expressway).
Board a Paradise cruise: lunch while cruising among the limestone karsts, then one activity of choice, a cave visit or kayaking. Tea on the sundeck at sunset and dinner on board.
