Upgraded - Vietnam and Angkor

This 13-night escorted tour begins in Hanoi, where French colonial architecture and the bustling Old Quarter offer plenty of opportunities to stroll and eat well. After an overnight cruise through the quieter waters of Lan Ha Bay with limestone karsts and floating villages, the route follows Vietnam’s coast to Hoi An, a former trading port famous for lantern-lit streets and a blend of regional influences.

From the peaceful countryside of the Mekong Delta, where rivers and rice paddies set a gentle rhythm, the journey moves on to Ho Chi Minh City for a glimpse of its colonial past alongside modern buzz. The Cambodian leg features Siem Reap and the extraordinary temples of Angkor, including sunrise at Angkor Wat and the vine-covered ruins of Ta Prohm, balanced by visits to local craft workshops and markets.

Explore Worldwide’s small-group format offers moments both guided and free, with accommodation that combines local charm and comfort.
