Vietnam, Emerald Bays and Old Hanoi

Sleep on a boat among limestone towers, walk a street where trains brush past tea stalls, or spend three nights on an island of theme parks and clear water. Fortune reaches Vietnam three ways from Kochi, and every route runs escorted with a Malayalee tour manager.

Why Vietnam

The Country Everyone Comes Back Talking About.

The Country Everyone Comes Back Talking About.

Vietnam runs long and thin down the edge of Southeast Asia, and it packs astonishing range into that ribbon: a bay of thousands of limestone islands in the north, a capital of lakes, lanterns, and French-era streets, rice country threaded with rivers, and warm islands in the far south. The food is world famous, the coffee culture is its own attraction, and prices stay kind. Fortune covers it with three escorted routes ex Kochi: the classic north with its Halong cruise night, the Phu Quoc island holiday, and the two-country journey pairing Vietnam with Cambodia.

The night on the water

A Night Afloat on Halong Bay.

Limestone Towers Past the Cabin Window
The Halong Bay Cruise

Limestone Towers Past the Cabin Window

Halong Bay is Vietnam's signature: thousands of limestone islands standing out of emerald water, listed by UNESCO and photographed beyond counting. Day boats see it. The Fortune plan sleeps on it. The Vietnam tour carries one full night aboard a Halong Bay cruise, so the towers drift past at dinner, the bay goes quiet after the day boats leave, and morning arrives with mist threading the peaks outside your cabin. Of every night on the three routes, this is the one travellers rank first.

The Cable Car That Crosses the Sea.
Worth crossing the water for

The Cable Car That Crosses the Sea.

At the southern tip of Phu Quoc, a cable car sets out over open water, gliding above fishing boats and green islets on its way to Hon Thom island, a ride the brochures fairly call the world's longest sea-crossing cable car. Below runs the island holiday at full tilt: the 4 Islands boat day through clear water, the turtle-shaped aquarium, Aquatopia's slides, and Grand World glowing after dark with its light and water show at Love Lake. Phu Quoc is Vietnam with its shoes off, and the island tour is built entirely around that mood.

The fixed plan is one option, not the only one.
Made your way

The fixed plan is one option, not the only one.

Our group departures suit travellers who want everything settled in advance, but that is not the only way to travel with us. If the set dates do not match your leave, if you want more days in one place and fewer in another, or if you would rather travel only with your own family or friends, tell our team what you have in mind and we will build the trip around you instead. You see the full plan and the cost before anything is confirmed, and nothing is booked until you are happy with it.

The 5-day Vietnam tour suits first-timers and anyone who wants the Halong cruise night and old Hanoi.
