Prepare for an unforgettable journey through Vietnam, where you’ll uncover surprising discoveries as you travel over a thousand miles of the country’s breathtaking landscapes, savor delicious seafood and pho, and fill your days with adventure. Beginning or ending your cruise in Hanoi, gives you time to explore the layered history of Vietnam's capital. An overnight in Halong Bay gives you time to cruise on a junk boat, exploring the limestone rock formations of this UNESCO world heritage site. Explore the narrow lanes of Hanoi’s Old Quarter and colonial architecture of the French Quarter before moving on. Da Nang, with its rich history and vibrant culture, is worth visiting for more than just its coastal beauty. Nearby you’ll find three UNESCO sites, including Hoi An Ancient Town, a tranquil 16th century trading town where you can still walk or bicycle the picturesque lanes with nary a car in sight. Delve into Vietnam’s more recent past in Ho Chi Minh City, where French colonial architecture, traditional Vietnamese temples, and modern skyscrapers stand side-by-side with artifacts of the Vietnam War, like the Presidential Palace with a Communist tank still poised on the front lawn. Another overnight stay here lets you get to know farmers and fishermen in the Mekong Delta, see the secretive Cu Chi Tunnels that played a crucial role in the Viet Cong's 1975 victory. In addition to Vietnam, you will have several options to explore Cambodia, including a full-day visit to Pnomh Penh or a 2-night tour to Angkor Wat. This cruise starts or ends in Bangkok, giving you an opportunity to experience one of Asia’s most vibrant cities.
Take a two-day Angkor Wat overland tour from Ho Chi Minh City and return to <em>Star Seeker </em>in Phnom Penh (or reverse). Angkor Wat is one of the world's most magnificent ancient temples and a UNESCO World Heritage site.
