Mekong Delta & Coast Escape — 5 Days / 4 Nights

DAY 1 – HO CHI MINH CITY TO MY THO | EMBARKATION

Private transfer from Ho Chi Minh City to My Tho for embarkation on your premium Bassac river cruise vessel. Welcome lunch on board as the ship departs into the delta. Afternoon sampan excursion through the narrow canals of Ben Tre province — coconut workshops, riverside orchards, and the unhurried pace of communities where the river is road, livelihood, and home simultaneously. Sunset on the upper deck. Welcome dinner on board: delta specialties prepared by the ship’s chef.

DAY 2 – CAI RANG FLOATING MARKET | CAN THO | CHAU DOC

Pre-dawn sampan to Cai Rang Floating Market at its most atmospheric. Return for breakfast on board before the morning canal excursion through Can Tho’s backwaters — private bicycle through Binh Thuy’s tree-lined streets to the Ancient House. Local lunch at a canal-side eatery. Afternoon navigation upstream to Chau Doc. A late afternoon guided visit to the floating fish farms and Chau Giang Cham village by small boat. Overnight at anchor outside Chau Doc.

DAY 3 – NUI SAM SUNRISE | DISEMBARKATION | FLIGHT TO PHU QUOC

Sunrise walk up Nui Sam mountain above Chau Doc — panoramic views over the delta and across the Cambodian border. Return to the ship for a farewell breakfast before disembarkation. Transfer to Can Tho International Airport for the short domestic flight to Phu Quoc Island (approximately 1 hour). Arrive in the early afternoon and transfer to your beachfront resort on Long Beach. Dinner at a beachside seafood restaurant: fresh Phu Quoc lobster, grilled swimming crab, and the island’s famous fish sauce.

DAY 4 – PHU QUOC | AN THOI ARCHIPELAGO SNORKEL | PEPPER FARM

Morning boat excursion to the An Thoi Archipelago at the southern tip of Phu Quoc — fifteen small islands in clear, reef-fringed water. Snorkel above coral gardens, swim in a natural pool between rock formations, and lunch on board the excursion boat. Return to Phu Quoc in the mid-afternoon. Late afternoon visit to a Phu Quoc pepper farm — the island produces some of the most prized ho tieu in the world. A tasting of green, red, and black pepper at different stages of ripeness, and a pepper-focused cooking demonstration. The Phu Quoc Night Market in the evening: an open-air seafood market on the beach where the day’s catch is grilled on the spot.

DAY 5 – PHU QUOC | DEPARTURE

A final morning on one of Vietnam’s finest beaches before transfer to Phu Quoc International Airport for your onward flight — direct connections to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and multiple international destinations.
