Vietnam's first ultra-luxury train, the SJourney Vietnam Luxury Express offers an eight-day, seven-night passage between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City — or the reverse — immersing guests in the landscapes, history and culture of the entire country from a single beautifully appointed carriage.
Indochine-inspired private cabins, fine dining with rotating menus of fresh local ingredients, a Bistro lounge and carefully curated excursions to UNESCO sites, imperial citadels and coastal villages combine to create a journey that is as much about discovery as it is about comfort.
