Luxury sleeper and overnight trains in Vietnam

The SJourney is the only true luxury sleeper train that runs the length of Vietnam; it is sold as an all-inclusive journey with cabins, meals and excursions. The Vietage by Anantara is a luxury day carriage between Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang. Everywhere else, overnight trains are the regular SE services, where we book a whole soft-sleeper cabin so you travel privately.

Hanoi to Da Nang by train

Scheduled SE trains run between Hanoi and Da Nang overnight; we confirm times and fares on dsvn.vn when we book. Many travellers ride only the most scenic part, Hue to Da Nang over the Hai Van Pass (about three hours), and fly the rest. For the full route in luxury, the SJourney stops at Hue and Hoi An on its way south.

A 2-week Vietnam tour by train

Two weeks lets you combine two or three train legs with short flights: Hanoi and Halong Bay, the overnight train to Hue, the Hai Van Pass train to Da Nang and Hoi An, then a flight to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta. Private 14-day trips at 4-star level start from about US$140 per person per day; see Vietnam in two weeks and how we run private tours as a licensed tour operator.
