La Côte du Vietnam en train (SJourney)

Four-day luxury train journey along Vietnam's coast on the SJourney

Illustration of La Côte du Vietnam en train (SJourney)

Discovery Trains' SJourney is a four-day luxury train journey along Vietnam's central coast, traveling from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang with overnight stays aboard the train. The itinerary balances rail travel with cultural immersion: you wake to stops at Phan Thiet to explore Cham heritage sites including Mont Ta Cu's hilltop pagoda and ancient towers, then continue to Phu Yen to visit a Gothic-influenced church and meet artisans in a traditional mat-weaving village. All meals are prepared onboard, combining Vietnamese and international cuisine with wine and cocktail service. The pace is unhurried, with most days spent traveling and exploring in relative leisure. This journey suits luxury-conscious travellers drawn to cultural encounters, history enthusiasts interested in the Champa civilization, and repeat rail travellers seeking a specialized itinerary beyond standard city tourism.
