March 2027 · Vietnam & Cambodia
Fifteen days between a bay of karst, the lantern-lit river of Hội An and the temples of Angkor at dawn
Some journeys read like a book of short chapters. This one opens among the colonial boulevards of Hanoi, drifts through the green silence of Ha Long, glows with the lanterns of Hội An and closes before the stones of Angkor, just as the sun touches them. March opens the region's finest window of the year: clear skies, gentle temperatures and a calm sea.
