Wake to limestone islands in Ha Long Bay, trade the city bustle for a long beach in Da Nang, and spend an evening among Hoi An’s lanterns. Finish your coastal escape in Nha Trang before a taste of Ho Chi Minh City. This 12-day Vietnam beach holiday brings those contrasting moments together with three domestic flights, private road transfers and an overnight Ha Long cruise.
The tour is a sample itinerary, designed around you. Keep its mix of sea and culture, add more beach nights, or choose a different hotel level. Vietpower Travel creates the final journey around your dates, your family or friends, and the way you like to travel.
Already booked your flights? Send us your arrival and departure. We will fit the cruise, domestic flights and hotels around your international flight times.
Picture a morning without an alarm on Da Nang’s coast, an evening of lanterns and favourite dishes in Hoi An, and a cabin on Ha Long Bay as the sun slips behind the islands. Free days give you room to enjoy the places you came for. Choose a poolside afternoon, a café, a beach walk or more time together; the final balance is yours.
Three included domestic flights connect the regions, while private road arrangements keep local travel straightforward. Send us the comfort level, room setup and pace you want. We will shape the hotel and cruise choices around your budget, with the service details confirmed before you book.
Ha Long Bay: a night on the water. Leave the road behind and watch the limestone scenery change as your cruise moves through the bay. Sunset on deck and the first light over the water make this much more than a quick photo stop. Choose your cabin and cruise level from our Ha Long cruise collection.
Da Nang and Hoi An: beach space and lantern-lit evenings. Stay by the coast, take a free day at your own pace, then discover Hai Van Pass, Marble Mountains and Hoi An’s historic lanes. A river outing, pottery village and cooking experience bring food and local life into the journey. Your second Hoi An day is yours for the beach, cafés or a tailor visit.
Nha Trang: a bay outing and time beside the sea. Enjoy its beach-city atmosphere and an island excursion rather than another long road day. A final flight brings you to Ho Chi Minh City for its history, markets and energetic streets.

Your final route and timings; hotel names and room types; cruise and cabin; domestic flights and baggage; private versus shared services; included meals and activities; children’s arrangements; visa assistance and government fees; seasonal supplements; payment and cancellation terms.

Yes. This sample includes Hanoi–Da Nang, Da Nang–Cam Ranh and Cam Ranh–Ho Chi Minh City flights, plus the associated airport transfers. Your written quotation specifies the airline, flight times, baggage allowance and fare conditions for your dates.
Your airport and road transfers are private, and the guided visits are arranged for your party. The Ha Long overnight cruise is a shared vessel with your own double or twin cabin. We confirm the Nha Trang boat format and the cooking class arrangements in your quotation.
Day 5 in Da Nang and Day 7 in Hoi An are free days. Nha Trang adds beach time around its bay excursion. Transfers and flights take part of days 4, 8 and 10; we show their actual timings before you book so you know how much leisure time remains.
Neither is in this 12-day sample. The central coast day includes Hai Van Pass, Marble Mountains and Hoi An. If you want Ba Na Hills and its Golden Bridge, or a Mekong extension from Ho Chi Minh City, tell us and we will design the extra time into your journey.
We match your dates to each coast. Nha Trang is generally sunnier from January to August, with its rainy season usually September–December. Da Nang and Hoi An have their own seasonal pattern, while Ha Long can be cooler in winter. Your consultant recommends the best beach balance for your specific travel month.
Yes. The two free days and two-night stays at each central and southern stop leave room for your own rhythm. Families can request connecting rooms, shorter walks and child-friendly meals; couples can choose upgraded rooms and a more leisurely pace. These choices are priced in your tailored quotation.
Absolutely. Tell us your hotel preference, room setup and whether a pool, beach access or a quiet location matters most. We can extend Da Nang, Hoi An or Nha Trang, or simplify the route if you prefer fewer flights and more nights in one place.
Send your arrival and departure dates, airports, flight numbers, group size and children’s ages. Vietpower Travel fits the domestic flights, cruise and hotel nights around them, then sends you a clear itinerary and quotation before confirmation.
Send your travel month, dates, group size, hotel preference and the beach stop you would most like to linger in. Talk to Vietpower Travel on WhatsApp or use the tour enquiry form. We will turn this sample into a clear itinerary and a quotation for your own trip.
