Snaking gracefully down from its northern reaches to the Mekong Delta in the south, Vietnam is a country that lends itself well to epics. Suitably, this journey takes in many of the nation’s main attractions while springing a few enticing surprises along the way. The wild ride starts in Hanoi, Vietnam’s 1000-year-old capital, where ancient sites such as the iconic One Pillar Pagoda and the Temple of Literature (the country’s first university) co-exist with modern attractions and amenities. After detouring to the karst-studded wonderland of Halong Bay, guests journey south to Central Vietnam, where the dynamic beach city of Danang complements heritage-filled destinations like Hue and Hoi An. In the south of the country, bustling Ho Chi Minh City looks to the future while maintaining respectful contact with its past. The epic trip comes to a close in the Mekong Delta, a region of sleepy villages, floating markets and friendly locals.
