Vietnam holidays

This once turbulent land is steeped in history and culture making it one of Asia's most compelling destinations.

Vietnam Travel Guide

Best time to go

Travel to Vietnam is possible all year, although the seasons do vary across the country and you may encounter some rain, whatever the time of year. Northern Vietnam (eg Hanoi, Halong Bay and Sa Pa) is perhaps at its best between September-December when the weather is generally warm and sunny. March to August is ideal for the central region (Hue, Hoi An, Danang) and to avoid the heaviest rains in Southern Vietnam December to April is best.

Visas

A visa may be required. Please ask for details.

The Vietage Railway Carriage

Two elegant 12-guest carriages provide luxury journeys in Vietnam. One links historic Hoi An to the unhurried coastline of Quy Nhon on a six hour journey that immerses travellers in the romance of rails, and the other is a five hour experience between Nha Trang and Quy Nhon. Each Vietage carriage has six spacious booths with two comfortable window seats, ensuring everyone on board has the chance to take in scenes of rural villages, farmers in their fields with water buffaloes and fishermen casting their nets - none of which you would see from 35,000 feet in the air! Savour inspired gastronomy, raise a glass at the bar, perhaps retreat to a quiet nook for a soothing head and shoulder massage, or simply relax and admire the changing landscapes as they amble by. Departures available daily (excluding select national holidays and subject to change). Hoi An to Quy Nhon departs Da Nang Railway Station at 8am arriving into Quy Nhon at 2.03pm, while for Nha Trang to Quy Nhon the departure time is 2pm and arrival time is 6.29pm. Both journeys available in reverse, please ask for details.
