Itinerary
Explore the best of southern Vietnam on this relaxed 8-day journey from bustling Ho Chi Minh City to the beachside haven of Nha Trang.

A great mix of culture and coastal charm, with plenty of time to relax.

We then visit the War Remnants Museum, established in 1975, which offers a sobering look at the war’s impact through powerful displays of photographs, military equipment and personal stories.
Our final stop is the Notre-Dame Cathedral, an iconic neo-Romanesque church built between 1877 and 1883 using materials imported from France. Please note that visits are currently limited to the exterior due to renovations.
