Some places you visit. Vietnam you feel — in your chest, in your bones, in the way you can't stop talking about it for years after you return.
VAC Travel's Highlights & Classic Luxury Tours give you the absolute best of this extraordinary country, curated by people who know Vietnam not just as a destination, but as home.
HANOI — WHERE IT ALL BEGINS
Your journey opens in Hanoi capital or Ho Chi Minh city, one of Asia's most captivating capitals. This is a city that somehow makes a thousand years of history feel completely alive — in the chaotic beauty of the Old Quarter's 36 ancient trade streets, in the stillness of Hoan Kiem Lake at dawn, in a steaming bowl of pho eaten on a tiny plastic stool at 7am. Hanoi doesn't ease you into Vietnam. It pulls you in, and you love every second of it.
HALONG BAY — PREPARE TO BE SPEECHLESS
Nothing fully prepares you for Halong Bay. Over 2,000 limestone karsts rise dramatically from emerald waters stretching to the horizon — and you'll experience all of it from the deck of a handpicked luxury cruise ship, cocktail in hand, as the sun melts into the sea. Spend your nights in a beautifully appointed private cabin, wake up to mist rolling off the water, and kayak into hidden caves that feel like your own personal secret. This is the kind of place that makes you cancel your flight home.
HOI AN — THE TOWN THAT STOPS TIME
Heading south, Hoi An is the kind of place travel writers run out of adjectives for. 300-year-old wooden merchant houses glow amber in the evening light. Silk lanterns drift lazily over the Thu Bon River. The streets smell of jasmine and freshly baked banh mi. Every corner is a photograph. Every meal is a revelation. Every evening feels like it was designed specifically for you.
HO CHI MINH CITY — ENERGY LIKE NOWHERE ELSE
Your journey ends — or really, begins again — in the electric pulse of Ho Chi Minh City. This is Vietnam at full throttle: world-class rooftop bars, extraordinary war history, markets that never sleep, and a food scene that rivals any city on earth. You'll leave exhausted in the best possible way, already planning your return.
