Most tourists never see Halong Bay in the morning. They miss the fishing junks sliding past

limestone spires that thrust from the turquoise water. Those day-trippers can't imagine how the scent of fresh coffee hangs in the air as eagles float overhead. It's an extravagant sensory moment possible only because we spend the night on the water…aboard a traditional junk. And it's just one unique event we'll share with you in Vietnam and Cambodia. Of course we visit the great cities and relish the lively culture there. But we also visit a simple homestead to learn about the eternal cycle of the rice farmer…and are introduced to the descendants of the Nguyen dynasty who may join us for lunch. The special experiences continue in Cambodia. Here, we wander the jungle-clad temples of Angkor Wat in the quiet of the morning, long before the tour groups descend. Join us for a remarkable look into the Asia of old, where heritage and tradition are still strong.
