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.

Choose your pace today: ride island loops with stops for fresh fruit and weaving demos or opt for a full-day mainland adventure through rice paddies and shaded country roads. End the day with a soulful cultural performance and a serene dinner aboard the Aqua Mekong.

Choose between two scenic ride options: a pair of shorter loops with lunch aboard the boat, or a rewarding full-day ride ending with a riverside lunch at a hidden colonial-style villa. No matter your route, return to the ship by boat and unwind with a sunset cocktail.

Say goodbye to the Aqua Mekong and journey to Ho Chi Minh City, where an optional ride and a fabulous lunch await. Explore the city in style by Vespa before catching a short flight to Danang and settling into our hotel.

Start the day with an optional warm-up ride before we head into the vibrant countryside, where colourful boats, friendly locals, and skilled artisans bring the landscape to life. After lunch and a walking tour of Hoi An’s ancient streets, we'll dine in one of Vietnam’s most exciting food scenes.

Authentic Food

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.

Our journey begins with a hike through the vibrant Ouirgane Valley, where red rock meets lush green fields and fragrant herbs line every path. Share a home-cooked picnic lunch with a local family before unwinding at the luxurious Kasbah Tamadot, complete with a pool, spa, and sunset cocktails.

Climb to the village of Aroumd with our local guide Rachid for a taste of mountain life, where a homemade picnic lunch awaits. Over tea, Rachid will share stories of his community’s inspiring resilience in the wake of the 2023 earthquake—and how support from B&amp;R’s Slow Fund has helped them begin to rebuild. Then, we’ll return to the Kasbah for a well-earned rest and a candlelit feast.

Whether hiking or biking, today’s journey across the Plateau du Kik will take us into the heart of the High Atlas Mountains, with breathtaking views of Mt. Toubkal. After a day of adventure, relax at Kasbah Tamadot with a hammam or a leisurely hike, then savour cocktails and a delicious dinner.

We end where it all began for B&amp;R: in Burgundy, our second home (and first true love). For our 60th party, we’re pulling out all the stops: from scenic rides over our favourite vine-covered hills to exclusive sips of rare vintages and meals befitting Burgundian royalty. Pedal through picture-perfect villages, picnic among vineyards, and barrel-taste at exclusive domaines. With château stays, cellar secrets, and plenty of surprises (no spoilers, but you may want to practice pronouncing “Sacre Bleu!”), this isn't just&nbsp;Burgundy. It's our&nbsp;pièce de résistance.

Welcome to Burgundy, the place we call our second home

After exploring Beaune, settle into the Hôtel de Beaune in the heart of Burgundy’s wine capital. Finish the day with a private garden cocktail hour at the Butterfield residence, followed by free time to explore the town’s dining scene.

Our ride begins in the Côte de Beaune, reaching the historic Château du Clos de Vougeot for a visit. After lunch, choose between two routes back to Beaune, where we’ll celebrate the day at B&amp;R's European headquarters. Dinner will be a memorable experience at Beaune’s oldest winery, Maison Champy, with a delicious wine-pairing gastronomic menu.

Cycle through the countryside surrounding Beaune, stopping at Maison Harbour for a wine tasting and picnic lunch.
