Eight-day luxury train from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City with fine dining

Illustration of SJourney Vietnam Luxury Express

The SJourney Vietnam Luxury Express is Luxury Train Club's flagship journey, a sleeping-car experience covering eight days and seven nights from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Every night is spent in a private Indochine-style cabin with daily turndown service. The train departs Hanoi across the historic Long Bien Bridge and travels south through Vietnam's cultural heartland, stopping at Ninh Binh, Quang Binh, Hue, Hoi An, Phu Yen, and Phan Thiet. Each day features a guided excursion: visitors explore limestone caves at Phong Nha-Ke Bang, walk the Imperial Citadel at Hue, and wander Hoi An's Old Town. Meals are prepared fresh onboard in single-sitting restaurant cars. All guides, entrance fees, transfers, and beverages are included. This luxury train suits travelers seeking high-end rail comfort, history enthusiasts drawn to Vietnam's dynasties and colonial heritage, and couples looking for an intimate, all-inclusive journey through Southeast Asia by train.
