Honeymoon in Vietnam

In the morning, follow your private guide to explore some of Hanoi's iconic architectural heritage: from the stately French‑colonial Presidential Palace to the humble stilt house of President Ho Chi Minh. After a brief pause among the colorful collections of the Fine Arts Museum, head to the Old Quarter. Hop on a cyclo and weave through the narrow lanes. Here, the calls of vendors, the rumble of motorbikes, and the rich aroma of coffee, all invite you to slip into the city's most authentic Vietnamese vibe.

The rest of the day is yours to explore. You might visit Train Street Market, a photogenic neighborhood teeming with local energy just inches from passing trains, or stop by The Note Coffee, an intimate café covered in handwritten love notes from couples worldwide. For dinner (at your own expense), you may choose to indulge in a refined French-Vietnamese fusion meal at one of Hanoi's heritage restaurants, savoring the city's unique blend of East and West.

Today, head to Ninh Binh (about a 2‑hour drive by private car). As you approach Hoa Lu, the site of Vietnam's ancient capital, the pace slows and the scenery opens up. Here, you'll find solemn temples of past emperors nestle among limestone peaks. Then, visit Bai Dinh Pagoda, set amid rice fields and spacious grounds under bright mountain views. In its peaceful atmosphere, you'll feel a perfect blend of history, culture, and hidden natural beauty.

After lunch, take a traditional boat ride through Trang An Grottoes, drifting through clear waterways between forested cliffs, listening to birdsong and the gentle splash of oars. It's an intimate experience you'll both treasure, with nothing to do but sit back, relax, and enjoy the stillness together.

Drive approximately 3 hours to legendary Halong Bay for your cruise adventure. Enjoy lunch onboard as you cruise among jungle-clad limestone isles and emerald waters.

Mid-afternoon, visit a tranquil beach for kayaking or swimming in crystal-clear waters, a peaceful escape from the crowds. As the cruise anchors for the night, join a cooking demonstration or unwind with Happy Hour drinks (buy one, get one) while watching the sunset paint the karsts in golden hues.

Savor a fusion dinner made with fresh ingredients in a sophisticated setting. Afterward, the sundeck bar and restaurant welcome you to admire the beauty of the night on the bay. Try squid fishing, watch a movie, or simply relax together.

Tips: Since you'll be carrying all your luggage on and off the ship, please keep items you'll need during the cruise within easy reach to avoid repeatedly unpacking and repacking.

Waking in the splendid sunrise, warm-up yourselves to embrace an exciting day with varied sightseeing activities in the paradise of Halong Bay.

After breakfast, transfer to a day boat and visit a local village. Cycle together along village paths through rainforests and tunnels, passing scenic rice fields. Lunch is served on the day boat as you continue cruising.

Early afternoon, visit a serene area for kayaking or relaxing on a sandy beach. In such a peaceful seascape, seize the moments to enjoy romance exclusively for you two.

Spend the morning exploring Hoi An's timeless charm, from the iconic Japanese Bridge to the fragrant incense-filled Chinese temples and the beautifully preserved merchant houses. Enjoy a quality lunch at Cargo Club, where the riverside terrace offers intimate views of the old town, and the refined Vietnamese menu is delicately enhanced with subtle French influences.

In the late afternoon, glide along the Co Co River in a traditional basket boat, taking in the peaceful surroundings. As dusk falls, relax on a bamboo raft and savor a romantic candlelit dinner featuring fresh regional specialties, all set against the tranquil river landscape.

Today is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Whether you prefer shopping, relaxing at a spa, or exploring the nearby area, there are plenty of options.

Optional activities:

• Couples' Silk Tailoring: You may customize a Vietnamese national garment or elegant slip dresses with selected fabrics. Skilled tailors will take measurements and craft your bespoke garments, ready even within 24 hours.
• Private Vietnamese Cooking Class: Take a bicycle to the market and a local vegetable village. Learn to prepare authentic dishes with a chef, then savor your creations over a leisurely lunch.
• Countryside Cycling & Village Visit: Cycle through scenic landscapes, enjoy hands-on farming activities, and share a home-cooked meal with a local family featuring fresh, homegrown ingredients.

After breakfast, journey together to Ben Tre in the lush Mekong Delta, the drive takes about 2 hours. Board a boat and glide through tranquil waterways lined with coconut palms, then drift by traditional rowboat through narrow village canals. Visit a welcoming local home for tropical refreshments, watch skilled artisans craft coconut candy using generations-old techniques, and taste these sweet treats fresh from the fire.

The highlight follows: cooking experience with a local family. Work together preparing an authentic Vietnamese lunch, then sit down to enjoy the delicacies you've made. Return to Saigon in late afternoon with full hearts and happy stomachs.

Phu Quoc offers beautiful beaches with soft white sand and clear turquoise waters, known for stunning sunsets and a laid-back tropical atmosphere ideal for honeymooners.

Enjoy a slow, unhurried day just for the two of you. Lounge together at your resort's beach or pool, perhaps with a fresh coconut in hand. If you're feeling adventurous, visit nearby beaches with powdered white sand, explore a local fishing village, or head to the night market to try grilled seafood and tropical fruits. As late afternoon arrives, find a quiet spot to watch the sunset together as the sky turns shades of pink, orange, and purple.
