Carbon Neutral Trip
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.
Enjoy an intimate dinner in the home of celebrated Vietnamese chef Duc, who shares his remarkable journey—from cooking abroad to returning home to champion his country’s cuisine.
Pedal along peaceful canals through the Mekong Delta, where vibrant morning markets and school children on bikes offer a window into daily life in Vietnam’s heartland.
Cruise in style aboard the Aqua Mekong, a floating boutique hotel that carries you from Phnom Penh to Ho Chi Minh City.
