Priced From: $6725 pp Dbl. Occ.
Dates: Jul - Dec

An understanding of history still goes a long way in Vietnam, since the country has a unique civilization and a highly cultured people. Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed by the sublime beauty of the country's natural setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green rice paddies tended by women in conical hats. Vietnam offers a rare opportunity to see a country of traditional charm and beauty taking the first hesitant step into the modern world.
