An exclusive dinner event in Dragon Pearl Cave in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam, has been added to Imagine Cruising’s Vietnam and Cambodia Discovery tour.

The 29-night journey through Indochina and South-East Asia, which combines touring and cruising, departs on January 19, 2028, and costs from $7999 per person, including flights.

HIGHLIGHT

The exclusive dinner inside a 150-million-year-old Dragon Pearl Cave, on the edge of Ha Long Bay, is a real highlight. This is Vietnam’s first and only cave show-dining venue set within the limestone mountains of Quang Ninh province. And on January 23, 2028, guests will descend into the cavern for The Quest For The Sacred Pearl, a 30-minute performance combining circus arts, contemporary dance, and 3-D projection mapping which retells the Vietnamese legend of the Mother Dragon. The cave walls and stalactites become the stage. And the performance is followed by a seven-course dinner.

VIETNAM

A spokesperson for Imagine Cruises explains: “The full itinerary takes guests from Hanoi, with its tree-lined boulevards and street-side coffee culture, south through the imperial city of Hue and its royal citadel, to the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An, and on to Ho Chi Minh City, where a guided visit to the Cu Chi Tunnels brings the history of the Vietnam War into vivid, underground relief. There are lots of activities and inclusions in each place.”

CAMBODIA

There are two nights in Siem Reap and a full guided day at the Angkor Archaeological Park. Travellers will visit Bayon, Baphuon and the towers of Angkor Wat.

CRUISING

Land touring complete, guests take to the seas. They will join Diamond Princess in Singapore for a 13-night cruise through the Andaman Sea and Gulf of Thailand. The voyage calls at Phuket, Langkawi, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Ko Samui and Bangkok before returning to Singapore.

INCLUDED

The trip is from $7999 per person, twin share. That includes return international flights from Perth, all transfers, fully escorted tours, full-board cruising, and the overnight junk boat stay in Ha Long Bay. It also includes hotel stays throughout, among them the Pilgrimage Village Boutique Resort and Spa in Hue, the five-star New World Saigon Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Novotel Ha Long Bay, with rooms looking out across the bay.
