Linger longer in Southeast Asia with optional extensions
Sapa, Vietnam
Bangkok, Thailand
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam
Stunning mountain scenery and colorful hill tribes. Rice terraces cascade down the emerald slopes, and mountains rise into the mists around Sapa, a multicultural one-time French hill station in northwest Vietnam, not far from the Chinese border. Its jaw-dropping mountain scenery offers a complete contrast to the lowlands of the Mekong Delta. The region is popular with hikers, and you can trek to a mountain village to meet some of the hill-tribe people who make this region home, creating the handicrafts they sell at street markets aswirl with color. Highlights include Silver Waterfall, which spills down the side of Fansipan Mountain, Vietnam’s highest peak, and Heaven Gate, the mountain pass that leads to China.
Discover the vibrance of cosmopolitan Bangkok. Thailand’s sprawling capital is the world’s most visited city and possibly its most energetic, too. There is something amazing everywhere you look on this pre- or post-cruise/tour extension—tuk-tuks and long-tail boats, robed monks and street vendors, gilded rooftops and neon-lit nightclubs. See it all on a city tour that features three remarkable Buddhist temples—including Wat Traimit, home to the world’s largest solid gold statue—and the Grand Palace, official residence of the Thai royal family.
Glide across the emerald waters of Ha Long Bay. Ethereal Ha Long Bay has inspired myths and legends since ancient times, with more than 2,000 small islands rising from emerald green waters like a dragon’s back. Visit Sung Sôt Cave and its eerie stalactites and stalagmites, sail among surreal rock formations, and see a UNESCO-designated floating village via a small excursion boat. Spend a night on a junk—a traditional sailing ship—a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. This pre- or postcruise/tour extension also stops in Hanoi, Vietnam’s historic capital city.
