Overview

Witness Vietnam’s story in reverse — from the energy of its modern economic boom in the south, through imperial heritage and highland mist, concluding amid Hanoi’s timeless elegance.

Itinerary

Ho Chi Minh City

Step aboard in the south’s most electric city — where gleaming towers rise beside French colonial landmarks and the energy of modern Vietnam is impossible to miss. From here, the rails carry you toward a very different Vietnam.

Phan Thiet

A coastal stop shaped by Cham culture and framed by the golden dunes of Mui Ne — a gentler pace after the rhythm of the rails.

Phu Yen

One of Vietnam’s least-visited coastlines — dramatic rock formations, quiet fishing villages, and beaches that feel undiscovered even today.

Quang Nam

Home to the UNESCO-listed ancient town of Hoi An and the My Son sanctuary, Quang Nam blends centuries of maritime trade history with quiet countryside charm.

Hue

The former imperial capital, where the Nguyen Dynasty’s citadel, tombs, and pagodas still stand along the Perfume River. A day steeped in the ceremony and quiet grandeur of Vietnam’s last royal court.

Arrive in Phong Nha-Ke Bang and continue the journey in comfort.

Trang An

Glide by boat through Trang An’s karst river landscape — a UNESCO World Heritage site of limestone peaks, hidden caves, and still, mirror-like water.

Hanoi

Your journey begins in Vietnam’s capital — a city where French colonial boulevards meet a thousand years of imperial history. Board in comfort as the rhythm of the rails carries you toward the countryside, the city’s lights fading gently into quiet dusk.
