Soak up your surroundings during two Feature Stays – an overnight cruise in Halong Bay on a traditional junk-style boat and a 3-night stay at a resort in Siem Reap, offering a tropical oasis escape.
Enjoy two days of fully guided temple tours in Siem Reap, with in-depth insights into the history of these extraordinary structures and plenty of time at Angkor Wat, plus an Exclusive Experience morning accompanied by a private archaeological guide.

Is this trip right for you?
The bloody rule of the Khmer Rouge is a painful but important part of Cambodian history to confront. If you would rather not visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum (S21) and the Killing Fields of Choeung Ek, just let your leader know.
You’ll visit a number of temples that require a certain level of modesty. You’ll need to bring clothes that cover the shoulders and pants or skirts that go past the knees. A light scarf is also a good idea for covering shoulders and arms when it is hot.
In 2025, Tet (Lunar New Year) in Vietnam will run from the 25th of January to the 2nd of February and in Cambodia Khmer New Year (Songkran Festival) will take place from the 13th to the 15th of April. These are fascinating and rewarding times to see Vietnam and Cambodia, however you do need to be prepared for some businesses to be closed, tourist sites to be very busy and for transport to be packed as many local people are travelling around the country. Please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period.

What a fabulous trip! All aspects were well planned and executed, with high standards of accommodation and travel. Our guides were a highlight of the holiday. Their local knowledge and willingness to facilitate additional activities enhanced our enjoyment. We were lucky to have a great group of fellow travellers, who were positive, energetic and friendly. Our first ever group travel experience was very enjoyable.

Our Premium trip to Vietnam & Cambodia was such a memorable 11 day travel adventure. The route & sites were very well planned. Our guides took the stress out of travel and imparted their local knowledge so we really got a sense of the real Vietnam & Cambodia. Our first group trip but I would definitely plan an Intrepid trip in the future.

Intrepid is a great company. They provide unique experiences and really help you to learn about the local communities and the people living there. They organise everything very well and allow you to see lots of attractions without having to worry about transfers and they provide excellent meals.

If you would like a trip where all transportation, hotel, and most meals are provided in a comfortable and secure environment plan an Intrepid Premium trip. Relaxation and recovery between excursions is easily obtained due to the lack or worry for safety and comfort.
