Indochina is a land of captivating beauty and highly refined cultures whose people have, over the last thirty years, transformed their war-torn countries into one of the most dynamic regions in Asia. But the history and culture of Indochina goes back much further; at its height towards the end of the first Millenium the Khmer and Cham civilisations produced some of the world’s most beautiful art and architecture.

The journey begins in Hanoi; admire the chic elegance of this great city with its buzzing art scene, once one of the jewels in the French empire. Enjoy a  private cruise through the ‘out of this world’ seascape of the Gulf of Tonkin. Travel to Hue, the old imperial capital, now  a sleepy backwater gracefully situated on the banks of the shimmering Perfume River. Visit Ho Chi Minh city, formerly Saigon and see one of the most intensely living cities imaginable.

The journey ends with three days at Angkor, the spiritual and political centre of the Khmer Empire.  For those who wish the trip can be extended to visit the magical region of Northern Laos.
