Many Thanks in advance

We sailed (on Regent) from Hong Kong to Bangkok this March/April, port stops included many of the ports your voyage has; Da Nang, HO Chi Minn City, Ha Long Bay. Don't miss the wonderful sail in to Halong bay to view (take pix) of the iconic rock formations. Recommend a junk sailing in/around Halong Bay. In Ho Chi Minn city we enjoyed the Cu Chi Tunnels excursion. For Da Nang suggest: the Hoi An tour start in central Danang, then the Cham Museum, then on to Hoi An, then on to iconic China Beach or u may want to visit Hue.

 

Also, please check Cruise critic Asia thread...good posts for recommendations to visit the port stops on your cruise, link here:

We enjoyed the whole day trip to the Mekong delta with a short boat (!) trip to see the life of the villagers.
