Join us for a 12-night adventure through three countries in Southeast Asia, a land of stunning diversity. Begin with four nights in vibrant Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital, where you’ll witness daily life along the Chao Phraya River and marvel at the Grand Palace and the Emerald Buddha Temple. Venture outside Bangkok to the early capital of Ayutthaya before crossing into Cambodia. Here, explore the remarkable Angkor Wat and other incredible ancient temples.
Then fly to Hanoi to uncover the layered beauty of Vietnam. Visit a former wartime prison that offers powerful insight into the nation’s history, journey through serene countryside villages to experience rich cultural traditions set within remarkable landscapes and embark on a two-night cruise through the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay, where towering limestone karsts rise dramatically from the sea. Along the way, ride in tuk-tuks, witness an authentic Cambodian acrobatic circus and delve into each region’s exciting food culture, learning how to make traditional dishes. You’ll enjoy first-class accommodations, an extensive meal plan, including wine with dinner, and flights to Siem Reap and Hanoi.
