Ha Long Bay, the northern half of this journey to the Pearl Island

Mountains, bays, and island beaches.

This nine-day journey pairs the cultural heart of northern Vietnam — Hanoi’s Old Quarter, Ninh Binh’s limestone rivers, and a night cruise on Ha Long Bay — with a complete change of pace on Phu Quoc, Vietnam’s largest island, where white-sand beaches and turquoise water bring the trip to a close.

A private car and driver, Arabic and English-speaking guides, and every entrance fee arranged in advance — nothing left for you to plan.
