Trip Start-up

Sampan and skyscraper in Singapore



We always wanted to visit Vietnam and were fortunate to find a Celebrity cruise to Southeast Asia that included several stops in Vietnam. This cruise will also allow us to revisit several of our favorite Asian cities.  After the cruise, we'll finish our Asian adventure by exploring Taipei on our own.


Here is a summary of the trip:

Hong Kong, China (6 nights) -- with Hong Kong Food Tour and day trip to Macau

14-night cruise on Celebrity Millennium with port stops in:

Hanoi, Vietnam -- full day tour with visit to "Hanoi Hilton"

Hue / Danang, Vietnam -- full day to enjoy nearby Old Town Hoi An

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam -- Anne will overcome her fear of motorcycles to take a "Back of the Bike" tour to see the city highlights and savor Saigon's famous street food, all while traveling the way the locals do

Bangkok -- full day on our own to see Jim Thompson's House and indulge in a Thai massage

Singapore -- historical tour to learn about the tragic events of WWII

Taipei (4 nights) -- traditional sightseeing plus a soak in Taiwan's famous hot springs


As always, we are thrilled to have you traveling along with us!

Xin chào (goodbye in Vietnamese),

Frank & Anne
