Adventures that are so good you might not want to go home


01

SET SAIL ON THE MEKONG

Leave the rest of the world behind and set sail on the Aqua Mekong. As you journey along with one of Asia's most famous waterways, you have the chance to embrace the slow life. Discover floating markets, visit traditional homes that come complete with picturesque courtyards then take a look at one of the largest temples in the region. You can enjoy a three-day journey through Vietnam or if you wish to travel further, you can travel further down the Mekong to Cambodia.



02

RIDE THE SPA TRAIN

Arrive in style at your beach hideaway by taking The Vietage train through Vietnam. Climb aboard in the UNESCO Heritage City of Hoi An then watch the countryside roll by as you enjoy a cocktail in the bar or a massage at the spa before you arrive at the golden shores of Quy Nhon.



03

CLIMB ABOARD A CYCLO

For a city tour with a difference, take a ride on a cyclo through the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. Visit the Old Quarter and spy the Opera House, Hanoi Citadel and Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum. Then keep your camera ready as you wind your way between the ochre-coloured shophouses and tree-lined streets. Quench your thirst with a Vietnamese coffee enroute.
