Close you eyes and imagine you are on a Vietnam Cruise. You can almost feel and sense it: floor to ceiling windows, world-class food, private tenders for on-shore excursions, the commotion of bustling markets, fresh fruit, bartering, Buddhist temples, stilted villages, bicycles, motorcycles, straw hats for shade, rice, canoes. Scenery. Amazing scenery. Rocky outcrops that launch themselves upwards, clothed in tropical foliage. Ho Chi Minh city and the chaos of sounds and movement. The Khmer architecture of Phnom Penh with its golden Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda. Floating markets, paddy fields, the Mekong River. And yes, sadly, reminders of the Vietnam War.
Imperial or colonial capitals, abundant nature and invigorating colors: Vietnam opens the doors to a superb world where land and water come together in a poetic language. From Halong Bay to Ho Chi Minh City, let yourself be carried away on a cruise to discover a luminous country.
Rice fields lined with quiet canals, mythical bays, colorful markets, impressive temples and pagodas… A cruise in Vietnam provides access to breathtaking coastal and land treasures. Overview of the essential visits during a stay in Vietnam.
Essentials of Ho Chi Minh City
A city in full development, the old Saigon has kept its authenticity. A symbol of Vietnam's independence, it notably houses the Reunification Palace. Images of this former presidential palace went around the world when an army tank fighting for the liberation of Vietnam broke through its gates on April 30, 1975, ending the conflict. The neoclassical Notre Dame Cathedral and colonial-style Central Post Office bear witness to the city's Western past. More typical, the Jade Emperor Pagoda where the Vietnamese flock during the various festivities or the Binh Tay market, rich in colors, are worth the detour.
Cultural mix of Hanoi
Hanoi is one of the jewels in Vietnam's crown where remnants of French colonial culture mingle with traditional monuments, numerous lakes and a millennial past. Built 1,500 years ago, the Tran Quoc pagoda is the oldest in Vietnam. It is then necessary to continue the visit of the city with the mausoleum of Ho Chi Minh, the district of the Embassies which was the French district or the museum of the Women of Vietnam, which pays a real homage to their elegance through the ages. Among the essential and pleasant walks, the old quarter of Hanoi, with its narrow streets and stalls, exudes a timeless charm, while Hoan Kiem Lakebreathes life into the country's capital.
Cruise Halong Bay
In the Gulf of Tonkin, Halong Bay is one of Vietnam's emblematic sites, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994. Its 1,600 islets, including many limestone pillars covered with vegetation, rise out of the water to create breathtaking seascapes. Navigating in this natural setting of nearly 1,500 square kilometers promises splendid scenery between emerald water, floating fishing villages, impressive caves and lush islands.
The fishing port and beaches of Nha Trang
A seaside city on the China Sea, Nha Trang combines the ideal mix of palm-fringed beach and heritage. When you're not recharging your batteries at the water's edge, you can visit the city on foot or by pedicab. The fishing boats in the port, the Cham towers of Po Nagar located on a sacred Hindu site, the Long Son pagoda or the Dam market are all typical discoveries of Vietnam.
Go further… The temples of Angkor, Cambodia
Who does not have in mind the silhouette of the temples of Angkor silhouetted against a radiant sky or at sunset? Less than a two-hour flight from Hanoi, the ruins emerge from the forests on the edge of Siem Reap town. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992, the archaeological site represents the grandeur of what was one of the capitals of the Khmer Empire, which lasted from the 9th to the 15th century. At its height, the city had a population of 750,000 and the temple of Angkor Wat remains to this day the largest religious complex in Southeast Asia. The sophisticated hydraulic network of the site is also one of the marvels of Angkor.
All these visions are not figments of the imagination. They are scenes we deliver every day.
