Day One:

Begin your adventure in Vietnam’s vibrant capital. After a private transfer to Gia Lam Station, enjoy a warm welcome in an exclusive lounge before boarding the train.

As the train departs, settle into your elegant cabin and watch the countryside unfold — rice paddies and palm groves pass by your window. A refined lunch blending Vietnamese and international flavours is served on board.

In the evening, stop at a local station for a traditional cultural performance by local artists, followed by a gourmet dinner paired with fine wine. Overnight on board as the train continues north toward Sapa.

Day Two:

Wake to the beauty of Vietnam’s northwest and enjoy breakfast before beginning your day in Sapa.

Take the Muong Hoa Mountain train and Fansipan cable car to the “Roof of Indochina,” where views of terraced rice fields and mist-covered valleys await.

After lunch, explore Lao Chải village, nestled in the scenic Mường Hoa Valley. Discover the traditions and lifestyle of the local communities before returning to the train for a relaxed evening. Enjoy dinner as the train begins its overnight journey back toward Hanoi.

Day Three:

After breakfast on board, arrive at Hai Phong Station and transfer to Tuan Chau Marina to board your luxury cruise.

Sail through Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of limestone peaks and emerald waters. Continue into Lan Ha Bay, where you can kayak or take a bamboo boat through the serene Sang Toi Cave, or simply relax and swim at Ao Ech.
As the sun sets, unwind with a Sunset Party and a soak in the jacuzzi before returning to the train for your final evening. A peaceful night on board brings your journey to a close.

Day Four:

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast before arriving at Gia Lam Station. After check-out, you’ll be transferred to your hotel or the airport for your onward journey.

This is a brief overview of our booking terms and conditions. Please note each individual operator has their own terms and conditions and by booking with LuxuryTrainTickets.com you are also accepting the operator's terms. For more information regarding operator terms and conditions please contact us or the operator directly.

PLEASE NOTE: Receiving receipt of payment is not confirmation that your booking has been successful. We will contact you one to 10 working days after you have paid to confirm your booking, take further details of those travelling and send your itinerary. In the rare instance your booking cannot be fulfilled for any reason, such as the operator cancelling a journey or anything else beyond our control, we will be in touch with alternative options or will refund your payment.

All prices shown are for one adult ticket. Sleeper journeys are based on two adults sharing accommodation. Single occupancy of cabins may incur additional charge.

Prices are set by the operator and may change at short notice. We endeavour to ensure prices are always accurate and update our own website as soon as possible. All timings and details of included tours and activities are for guidance only and will only be confirmed in your travel documents that will be emailed to you 7 days before departure. For any questions including discounts, offers or group pricing, please contact info@luxurytraintickets.com.

As an authorised ticketing agent of luxury train journeys, we may need to pass some of your details (such as your name and dietary requirements) on to the train operators in order to complete your booking. This is done so the operators can add you to their guest list, send you your tickets and ensure the meals served to you onboard meet your dietary requirements. By booking with LuxuryTrainTickets.com, you are agreeing that you allow such necessary details to be shared with the operators under the cause of legitimate interest. If you have any questions, please contact us by phone or email info@luxurytraintickets.com.

There are a limited number of private tables and cabin types onboard. While we keep our website updated regularly, there may be occasions when private tables or cabin types become fully booked meaning we are unable to fulfil your booking requirements. Should this be the case, we will contact you to discuss alternative options and refund any payments made.

We have the right to refuse the request of a deposit when a journey is scheduled to depart in less than 16 weeks. If you choose to book with a deposit you must pay the remaining balance in full 15 weeks before departure at the latest. Should you fail to pay the remaining balance 15 weeks prior to departure, you will forfeit your deposit and your booking. Deposits are accepted by request. Most journeys require a 25% deposit to secure a booking however some specialist journeys do require a 50% deposit. Please contact us for confirmation.

Tickets are sent electronically around 5 days before departure. You will not receive tickets or any form of 'gift pack' in the post. This is in an attempt to reduce paper use and do our part for the environment.

By booking a journey you agree to these terms, the terms set out by each individual operator and our cancellation policy.
