Bound by the South China Sea to the west, Vietnam borders China, Laos and Cambodia, and is separated from Thailand by the legendary Mekong River. A land with winding trade routes and an even longer, meandering history, Vietnam is blessed with a rich and diverse culture, a deep and fascinating history, and oodles of charisma. Officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, this predominantly Buddhist country has been influenced over the eons by the ancient Hindu Champa and Khmer empires, Southern China, and French colonialists. Comprising four main regions, which are further divided into 58 provinces and five municipalities, one can explore its entrancing coastlines, verdant mountains, magnificent national parks, vibrant cities, phenomenal cuisine and unique culture all from the comfort of your Vietnam boutique resort or luxurious yacht or river-boat.

Home to several iconic bodies of water, from Halong Bay and Lan Ha Bay to the Mekong Delta, cruising in Vietnam is often one of the best ways to discover this tantalizing country. Sail past towering limestone cliffs, islets and karsts on a Vietnam cruise holiday in Halong Bay. Situated in northeastern Vietnam, and meaning “Descending Dragon,” Halong Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an incredible place to behold.
Alternatively, board a luxuriously fitted traditional junk or an opulent Indian-colonial vessel with Secret Retreats for the best luxury cruises Vietnam has to offer. Explore caves and grottos filled with magnificent stalagmites and stalactites. Kayak, swim, snorkel, dive or try squid fishing. Visit a local fishing village or go hiking at Cát Bà National Park.
