Vietnam

From the forested mountainous peaks and karst-studded seascapes of Halong Bay in the north, to the verdant rice paddies and goldensand beaches in the south, Vietnam presents a vibrant land of diversity that never fails to charm. With its dramatically beautiful yet contrasting landscapes, diverse cultures and ethnicities, enthralling cities and layers of compelling history, engaging experiences and the warmest of welcomes await you at every turn.

Ho Chi Minh City

In the tropical south, Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon, presents Vietnam’s most dynamic, modern and cosmopolitan destination and its largest metropolis.

Despite the city’s rapid development and soaring skyline, the storied past and unmistakable Saigonese character of French Indochina’s former hub is still evident. Admire the grand colonial landmarks while exploring the historic centre and take in compelling wartime legacies, including the iconic Independence Palace and beyond the city, the Cu Chi Tunnels.

Mekong Delta

A world away from the pulsating buzz of Ho Chi Minh City, further west lies one of Vietnam’s most picturesque regions, the Mekong Delta. This lush, intensely cultivated agricultural area is dominated by the majestic Mekong River and its network of slender canals and tributaries. As you explore the Mekong on your luxury river cruise, each day brings new experiences and encounters. Amid the peaceful surrounds of the river, immerse yourself in the traditional local life and timeless rural scenes of stilt-house communities along the riverbanks, buffalo-ploughed rice fields and serene pagodas.

Hoi An & Hue

Vietnam’s beautiful Central Coast region is home to two, ancient riverside cities, recognised as UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites and brimming with an extraordinary wealth of historical and cultural treasures and centuries-old traditions.

Hoi An is one of Southeast Asia’s oldest towns and a former Silk Road trading port. Enjoy a walk through the delightful Old Town and take in ancient landmarks, including well-preserved Merchant Shophouses and the iconic Japanese Covered Bridge.

In Hue, immerse yourself in the history and royal court heritage of this former Imperial Capital and seat of the Nguyen Emperor dynasty. Explore the Imperial Citadel, enjoy a cyclo (bicycle-style rickshaw) ride through the Old City and take a boat trip along the Perfume River to the revered, seven-storey Thien Mu Pagoda.

Hanoi

Located in the north, Vietnam’s capital, Hanoi, is regarded as one of Asia’s prettiest cities, with picturesque lakes, grand colonial architecture and tree-lined boulevards. Nestled along the Red River for more than a millennia, despite increased modernisation, enchanting Hanoi still retains a unique cultural heritage and identity, inherent northern traditions and legacies of momentous history. Enjoy exploring the historic Old Quarter and legend-strewn Hoan Kiem Lake, and admire the ancient Chinese pagodas and elegant French Indochina buildings.

Halong Bay

Located to the east of Hanoi in Vietnam’s north, Halong Bay is one of Asia’s most jaw-dropping natural wonders, where hundreds upon hundreds of islands and limestone karsts dramatically rise from the emerald-hued waters of the Gulf of Tonkin.

Your journey in Halong Bay features an unforgettable two-night Au Co Cruise, the finest way to leisurely explore this ethereal ‘Bay of Descending Dragons’ and immerse yourself in its breathtaking, UNESCO World Heritage-listed seascapes.

On board one of the most spacious ships operating in the Gulf of Tonkin, Emerald Cruises guests can enjoy exclusive gifts and curated excursions, with visits to pretty coves, traditional fishing villages, hidden lagoons and mythical caves, while exploring the more tranquil, less frequented parts of Halong Bay.

Cambodia

Cambodia is renowned for the magnificent Angkor Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing hundreds of temples and monuments, the remnants of an ancient Khmer civilisation. The crown jewel, Angkor Wat, a 12th century temple complex, dazzles as the world’s largest religious site and one of its greatest ancient wonders.

Beyond its remarkable history, Cambodia boasts fascinating traditions and a unique blend of French Indochina and Khmer heritage. Diverse landscapes range from remote tropical islands and emerald jungles to pepper plantations and the Mekong River, coursing its way through the length of the Kingdom. Along the legendary Mekong, explore authentic Khmer riverine life and lesser-known treasures, balanced with the energy and richness of vibrant cities such as Phnom Penh.

Siem Reap

Once the home of an ancient Khmer civilisation, Siem Reap today is your gateway to Angkor’s world-famous archaeological treasures. Marvel at the iconic temple, Ta Prohm, explore remarkable Angkor Thom, the Khmer Empire’s final capital city and watch the sunrise over the extraordinary Angkor Wat temple complex. This northern provincial town invites you to experience worldclass dining, rejuvenating spas and a flourishing arts and cultural scene surrounded by natural wonders.

Phnom Penh

A former royal kingdom seat and French protectorate set along the Mekong, Phnom Penh presents a vibrant city modernising at light speed. Once dubbed the ‘Pearl of Asia,’ the capital is still considered one of Indochina’s most captivating colonial-era cities. Enthralling cultural attractions and historical sites that you can explore extend from the sobering legacies of the nation’s turbulent past to the grand Royal Palace and ornate Buddhist temples.

Laos

Laos is one of Southeast Asia’s hidden gems. This fabled ‘Kingdom of a Million Elephants’ enchants with Asian spirituality, historic treasures and authentic cultural experiences.

Travelling through Laos, expect a more relaxed way of life that moves along at a delightfully unhurried pace and a warm welcome from locals. A deeply spiritual nation, Buddhism permeates every facet of Laotian life, from sacred rituals to omnipresent gilded temples, while its rich history is evident in a legacy of wellpreserved historical sites and architectural wonders – many, protected under UNESCO World Heritage status.

Luang Prabang

Situated in northern Laos, Luang Prabang emanates an almost ethereal ambiance and is considered the heart of Laotian culture and spirituality. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, be captivated by its well-preserved Old Town, ornate golden temples and Buddhist traditions.

Vientiane

Further south is Southeast Asia’s smallest capital, Vientiane, a city steeped in legend and exuding a laid-back ambiance and ‘Old-World’ charm. The tree-lined boulevards and faded colonial architecture are reminders of Vientiane’s former status as a French Indochina trading post. Explore the cultural heart, taking in iconic landmarks such as the golden Pha That Luang Buddhist stupa and iconic Patuxay monument.

Vang Vieng

Half-way between Luang Prabang and Vientiane in northern Laos’ interior, lies the quaint riverside town of Vang Vieng. Discover a landscape of dramatic limestone karsts, cave systems and mountain vistas that invite exploration and tranquillity.

See pages 64-73 for Laos itineraries.

Japan

Imbued with a unique culture, unmistakable identity and exquisite beauty, Japan is an enthralling experience in every sense. From centuries-old fishing villages and majestic feudal castles to neon-lit skylines and ultra-modern innovations, Japan reveals a land of breathtaking contrasts, where the past, present and future effortlessly collide.

Well-preserved cultural heritage and deeply-rooted traditions across this ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ provide countless opportunities to connect with the nation’s compelling past, while its frenetic mega cities and next-gen technologies immerse you in an exhilarating, futuristic world.

Comprised of a stunning archipelago in Northeast Asia, Japan’s centrally-positioned Honshu Island is home to much of the country’s main cities and important attractions, welcoming with an endearing warmth.

Japan’s political centre for centuries, Tokyo today presents a fast-paced mega city ranked as the planet’s most populated. Amid this mesmerising capital, the world’s tallest tower and busiest pedestrian crossing rubs shoulders with traditional icons and ancient Shinto shrines. Heading southwest, mountainous Hakone is popular for its hot springs and spectacular vistas of Mount Fuji, an active volcano and national symbol best appreciated on a picturesque lake cruise.

As Japan’s imperial capital for over a millennia, Kyoto boasts the nation’s highest concentration of cultural and architectural treasures. Surrounded by rural heartlands, this well-preserved ancient city delivers the quintessential face of old Japan and some of its most authentic cultural experiences. Nearby Nara makes an enthralling day trip for its significant historical assets.

Another former imperial capital, Osaka dazzles with a buzzing street life and diverse attractions, but renowned as ‘the nation’s kitchen’ and Japan’s culinary mecca, food is the biggest drawcard in this vibrant metropolis. Further westwards on Honshu, Hiroshima, eternally synonymous for its tragic wartime history and off-shore, the small, pretty island of Miyajima are additional, must-see destinations.

3.4 Any accommodation, sightseeing or flights We book for You separately to those stated in

Your Itinerary are not included in the Booking Deposit or Journey Price, and You must pay both the deposit and full costs for such additional services separately to the Booking Deposit and Journey Price at the time which We notify to You at or before You make Your Booking. Any requests for such additional services will not be processed until Your Booking Deposit is paid in full. These Conditions apply to all such additional services We book for You.

3.5 For some special offers, We may require payment of a further deposit before the balance of the Journey Price is due. We will notify You of any such requirement before You complete Your Booking and will confirm the payment details to You when We confirm Your Booking. You must make any such payment by the date notified by Us.

3.6 Exclusive offers requiring you to book and pay in full at a certain time prior to departure are also subject to these Conditions. Such offers are strictly limited on selected suite types on departure dates and are subject to availability. Offers cannot be combined and may be withdrawn at any time. Offers are valid for new bookings only.

3.7 Except as required by law or as otherwise provided in the Contract, Booking Deposits are not refundable and are not transferable to other Journeys or Bookings.

3.8 If clause 3.1(b) does not apply, You must pay to Us the balance of the Journey Price and all other amounts payable under the Contract no later than 120 days before the Journey Departure Date.

3.9 If Your Booking with Us includes flights, We may be unable to confirm the price of the flights to You at the time You submit Your Booking (see also clause 16.1(a)(v) below) which means that We will be unable to confirm the total Journey Price to You as a result. If this is the case, We will provide You with a flight credit amount at the time of Booking and will accept Your Booking on the basis that We will confirm the total costs of the flights (and the total Journey Price) to You as soon as We are able to do so. We will provide You with options for flights and airfares once they are available, for You to confirm the option You would like to take. If the option You select is more expensive than Your flight credit amount, You will be required to pay the additional costs.

3.10 If You wish to change any incidental component of Your Booking, such as any pre or post Journey accommodation or add-ons, You must contact Us using the Customer Service Contact Address. We may accept or reject Your request. If We accept Your request for a change, We will notify You of the change fee and additional costs (if any) resulting from the change (such as additional cost associated with additional days of accommodation requested by You or resulting from a change to Your flights that You requested).

(a) If there are no additional costs for the change, You must pay a change fee to Us for each change requested in accordance with clause 4.9 of these Conditions.

(b) If there are additional costs for the change and You reject these costs, Your Booking will not be changed.

(c) If there are additional costs for the change and You accept these costs, You must pay a change fee to Us for each change in accordance with clause 4.9 of these Conditions and the additional costs resulting from the change.

3.11 If You wish to change the name of a Guest on Your Booking or to transfer Your Booking to another person, please let Us know at least 7 days in advance of the Journey Departure Date by contacting Us at the Customer Service Centre Address with the relevant details, or if You made Your Booking with a travel agent, by contacting Your travel agent. On receipt of Your request, We (or Your travel agent, as applicable) will let You know if there are any additional fees, charges or other costs payable as a result of the change of name or transfer of the Booking. Such additional costs will reflect the reasonable costs We incur as a result of the change of name or transfer of the Booking, including the change fee set out in clause 4.9, and will not exceed the cost We incur as a result of the change or transfer. We will provide proof of such additional fees, charges and other costs to You on request.

3.12 You may cancel Your Booking at any time before Your Journey Departure Date by sending Us written notice of cancellation at the Customer Service Contact Address. If You cancel a Booking, You may be required to pay a cancellation fee in accordance with clause 5 of these Conditions.

3.13 If You request a change to Your Journey Departure Date, We will consider Your request and let You know if the change is possible. If the requested change to the Journey Departure Date is possible, We will notify You of any changes to Your Booking, the Journey Price and any other additional costs or changes which will apply as a result of Us facilitating the change. If the change is not possible, or if it is possible but You do not accept the resulting changes to Your Booking, the Journey Price or other additional costs or changes, You may cancel Your Booking. Please see clause 5 for more information about what happens when You cancel Your Booking.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(i) if You seek to cancel Your Booking prior to 120 days before the Journey Departure Date, You will be required to pay a cancellation fee against your Future Travel Credit that is equivalent to the amount of the Booking Deposit that would have been payable by You at the time of making Your Booking if you were using a payment method other than a Future Travel Credit; and

(ii) regardless of when You cancel Your Booking, You will be notified of the relevant cancellation fee payable by You prior to Us processing Your proposed cancellation.

You may also be required to pay cancellation fees to airlines and other third parties. Any portion of the Journey Price that has been paid by You to Us in the form of the Future Travel Credit in excess of the applicable cancellation fee will be refunded to You in the form of a Future Travel Credit and must be used by You within 24 months of the date on which You originally obtained the relevant Future Travel Credit.

5.3 We may vary Your Journey Price at any time before You have paid the Journey Price in full (but no later than 20 days before Your Journey Departure Date) to the extent necessary to meet any increase or decrease in the Journey costs for reasons outside of Our control, which are a direct consequence of changes in applicable airfares, the cost of fuel, the level of government taxes and charges on the travel services included in the Journey (including tourist taxes, government-, city- and harbour taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports), or exchange rate fluctuations relevant to the Journey. If We make a change to Your Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change. We will not vary the Journey Price after We have received the total Journey Price from You, regardless of any increases or decreases in the costs incurred by Us.

5.4 If We increase Your Journey Price by more than 8% of the original total Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change and details of any alternative Journeys of an equivalent or higher quality which may be available to You, and will give You a right to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund for the portion of the Journey Price that You have paid in advance to Us or to purchase an alternative Journey from Us if You do not accept the change. You have 14 days from the date We notify You of the increased Journey Price to tell Us if You wish to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund, or to purchase an alternative Journey with Us (where applicable). If You accept the increase in the Journey Price, You must pay the increase using the payment details provided either with the balance of the Journey Price or within 14 days of the date of the notice, whichever is the later. If You do not respond to the notice within 14 days, We will notify You again of the increase and the options available to You. If You do not respond to the second notice, We may cancel Your Booking and refund to You the portion of the Journey Price You have paid in advance to Us.

5.5 If We reduce Your Journey Price (as set out in clause 5.3), We may deduct Our administrative expenses from any refund owed to You as a result of the reduction. If We do this, We will provide You with proof of the expenses We deduct on request.

5.6 DiscoverMORE shore excursion: Once on board, excursions cancelled at least 48 hours prior to the day of the excursion will be refunded in full.

Excursion tickets must be returned to the Shore Excursions Desk at the time of cancellation.

5.7 You are responsible for and must pay for all costs and expenses incurred by You as a result of any change made by You to Your Itinerary after the Departure Time. This includes

changes due to illness or other personal reasons.

6 Our rights to end the Contract and cancel Your Booking and make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary

6.6 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary prior to the Departure Time: We may make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary prior to the Departure Time (separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), including changes to the planned departure date. If We make such changes, We will notify You in advance using Your Guest Contact Details or via Your travel agent and We may offer you an alternative Journey or Itinerary and notify you of any applicable difference in the Journey Price. If You do not accept the change to Your Journey or Itinerary that We have proposed and You accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us and:

(a) the original Journey Price exceeds the alternative Journey Price, then We will refund You the difference; or

(b) the alternative Journey Price exceeds the original Journey Price, then You must pay us the difference.

If You do not accept changes We have proposed and You do not accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us, We will cancel Your Booking and refund You the Journey Price that You paid to Us.

6.7 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary after the Departure Time:

(a) We may also be required to make other changes to Your Journey after the Departure Time for reasons outside of Our control (and separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), for example, in high water or low water scenarios.

If the change occurs after the Departure Time, You will be notified personally by the Cruise Director or Tour Director.

(b) If We make a material change to Your Journey or Itinerary under this clause 6.7 but provide You with a reasonably appropriate and equivalent alternative arrangement, then You will not be entitled to a refund and Our liability to You will be limited to the arrangements offered under this clause, subject to clause 6.7(c).

(c) To the extent We make a material change to Your Journey under this clause 6.7 and We do not offer You a reasonably appropriate and equivalent alternative arrangement, You may be entitled to a proportionate refund of the Journey Price that You paid to Us (as determined by Us, acting reasonably).

In such case, We shall not be liable to You for any loss, damage, cost or expense arising out of such change, postponement, cancellation termination or replacement. In case of cancellation of part or the whole cruise, clause 6of these Conditions applies.

Travellers are given an emergency telephone number or details of a contact point where they can get in touch with the organiser or the travel agent.

Travellers may transfer the package to another person, on reasonable notice and possibly subject to additional costs.

The price of the package may only be increased if specific costs rise (for instance fuel prices), and if expressly provided for in the contract, and in any event not later than 20 days before the start of the package. If the price increase exceeds 8% of the price of the package, the traveller may terminate the contract. If the organiser reserves the right to a price increase, the traveller has a right to a price reduction if there is a decrease in the relevant costs.

Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee and get a full refund of any payments if any of the essential elements of the package, other than the price, has changed significantly. If before the start of the package the trader responsible for the package cancels the package, travellers are entitled to a refund and compensation where appropriate. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee before the start of the package in the event of exceptional circumstances, for instance if there are serious security problems at the destination which are likely to affect the package.

Additionally, travellers may at any time before the start of the package terminate the contract in return for an appropriate and justifiable termination fee.

If, after the start of the package, significant elements of the package cannot be provided as agreed, suitable alternative arrangements will have to be offered to the traveller at no extra cost. Travellers may terminate the contract without paying any termination fee, where services are not performed in accordance with the contract and this substantially affects the performance of the package and the organiser fails to remedy the problem.

Travellers are also entitled to a price reduction or compensation for damages or both where the travel services are not performed or are improperly performed.

The organiser has to provide assistance if the traveller is in difficulty.

If the organiser or the retailer becomes insolvent, payments will be refunded. If the organiser or, where applicable, the retailer becomes insolvent after the start of the package and if transport is included in the package, repatriation of the travellers is secured.
