Classic Family Holiday in Vietnam

  • Map

From a luxury cruise on Halong Bay to an overnight train ride on the famous reunification express, this holiday suggestion blends luxury, romance and fun in pretty much equal measure.  If that was not enough, there is also a beach stay, close to the pretty old town of Hoi An, glorious fresh local food throughout and a chance to explore the Mekong Delta region of southern Vietnam. 

This is a holiday to excite the senses of the most jaded and exhausted modern family.

While the emphasis is on your experience of Vietnam, all of the hotels are excellent quality and very well located. Vietnam provides superb value if you know where to look.

Each region of Vietnam has a different weather pattern which means the climate is always good somewhere, so this itinerary works during school holidays throughout the year. That said, it works particularly well in July and August, when Hoi An is hot and sunny. 

Highlights include 

  • Cruise on a luxury junk boat around the amazing Halong Bay

  • Experience a fun overnight train journey along the route of the ‘Reunification Express’

  • Relax at the beach in Hoi An, hire bikes and cycle around the local countryside, or soak up the culture in the old town

  • Explore the Cu Chi tunnels and Mekong Delta near Ho Chi Minh City

As with all of our suggested itineraries, we can tailor-make your holiday to suit your budget, style and expectations. Find out about our exclusive Journey Planner here.

Day 1 depart the uk

Depart the UK on an overnight flight to Hanoi.

Day 2, 3

Arrive in Hanoi, one of Asia’s most exciting cities – a real Asian mixture of old world charm and modern bustle. A guide will show you around the city, with a cyclo tour to keep the children entertained and tickets to the famous water puppets.

Days 4, 5

Transfer to the stunning Halong Bay where you’ll board a small junk for an overnight adventure, cruising around the dramatic scenery of limestone karsts. Beautiful lagoons, beaches and caves can all be explored, some even by kayak. Your home afloat is the Red Dragon which has just five cabins (two of which interconnect which is a top option for families).  At the end of day five, you will board an overnight train, in a private cabin, on your journey to Hue.

Days 6, 7

Hue has a vibrant and young feel but is quite small and quiet, so it's easy to explore. It’s home to the magnificent ruins of Hue, including the citadel and imperial city. If a guided tour sounds dangerously educational for some members of the party, time just wandering around or visiting a nearby national park works as a good alternative.

 Day 8, 9, 10 and 11

The journey between Hue and Hoi An is fantastic – the road has phenomenal views, and the coastline is breathtaking, particularly over the Cloudy Pass. The journey to your hotel takes 3.5 hours; once here you'll spend the next few days exploring under your own steam. You can relax - this location is ideal for the beach - or you can include numerous tours, such as cycling around the countryside or attending a cooking school (an excuse to have a lot of fun and then eat some delicious food!).

Days 12, 13, 14

An early morning flight down to hectic Ho Chi Minh city where you can spend your final few days exploring the Mekong Delta, a different way of life to the mountainous north.  For something completely different - hugely popular among Asian families - try a visit to a nearby waterpark. Some time for last minute souvenir shopping and then either a day or overnight flight back to the UK.

 

As every holiday is unique to you, prices vary. To give you an indication, two-week holidays range from roughly £3,000 to £8,000 per adult, with an average price of £3,500. We also offer substantial child and seasonal discounts.
