But nothing beats the two bucket-list experiences the region holds: Vietnam\u2019s luminous Halong Bay and the mighty Mekong Delta. On Luxury Gold\u2019s 16-day Inspiring Indochina tour, you\u2019ll first take to the Mekong for a guided boat tour close from Ho Chi Minh City, stopping for lunch at the authentic Mango Home thatched restaurants and learning about life along the waterway. On day 11 of the tour, you\u2019ll board a traditional Junk boat for one of the planet\u2019s best luxury cruise experiences: sailing Halong Bay. A dazzling spot for a water-based adventure thanks to its bright emerald waters and vast limestone karsts (island mountains), it has floating villages, complex caves and white-sand beaches to spy from the comfort of your vessel. Sunset over this otherworldly setting is something to experience in your lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/en-gb\/tours\/inspiring-indochina\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Book Luxury Gold\u2019s Inspiring Indochina tour.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Australia\u2019s Great Barrier Reef<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-10946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of the great barrier reef off the coast of Australia\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef-1320x990.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2.-grart-barrier-reef.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Crowned one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World, the expansive Great Barrier Reef off Australia\u2019s northeast coast, can be seen from outer space.

Your private sailing will give unparalleled views of the hundreds of pine-covered islands, and you\u2019ll hear about the cultural significance of Matsushima, which has had countless Haiku poems written about its beauty.
