Incredible Rides

Floating Hotel

From the Mekong’s floating markets to Hoi An’s lantern-lit charm, this ride is Vietnam at its most deliciously vibrant. Pedal past silk-weaving villages, feast on street food from vintage Vespas, and cook with local masters. With riverboat luxury, market breakfasts, and countryside rides that put postcards to shame, it took us 60 years to craft a trip this divine—and you’ll still be dreaming about it for much (much) longer.&nbsp;

Bike through the peaceful silk-weaving villages of Koh Dach, then opt to visit a memorial of Cambodian history. As the sun sets, board the Aqua Mekong for sundowners and a mesmerizing Apsara dance performance, marking the beginning of our river journey.

Morocco does anniversaries like it does everything else—spectacularly (and often over mint tea). Hike Atlas foothills, lunch with Amazigh locals (and yes, they’re amazing), and trade stories in remote villages. Cruise the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, watch a Sahara sunset by camel, and toast it all with a private charter finale to Casablanca. For our 60th, we’re not just doing Morocco—we’re doing Morocco at its most memorable.
