All aboard the Reunification Express!

Take an extraordinary journey across Vietnam aboard the iconic Reunification Express. Spanning 12 days, this photography adventure explores the vibrant culture, breathtaking landscapes, and authentic daily life of Vietnam’s three regions. From bustling markets and ancient traditions to serene salt fields and majestic mountain vistas, each moment offers a new story to capture through your lens.

Traveling south to north, you’ll visit Saigon’s hidden railway communities, the salt fields and fishing harbors of Nha Trang, and the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An. Cross the Hai Van Pass, one of the world’s most scenic train routes, and continue to Hue’s imperial charm before arriving in Hanoi, Vietnam’s richly layered capital. The journey concludes in the misty highlands of Sapa, where tribal markets and golden rice terraces provide unforgettable imagery.

Guided by Vietnam in Focus photography leaders, you’ll receive expert instruction and cultural insights every step of the way. Enjoy premium accommodation, delicious cuisine, and unparalleled access to people and places, with every detail tailored to provide an inspiring, immersive experience.

From south to north, prepare to shoot a huge range of images, from street photography to epic landscapes and photographic series about time-honored craft production. The railway uniting Vietnam's three regions provides an evocative theme, but our images will be as diverse as the country itself, and you'll be encouraged to pursue your own photographic style and interests. Our own focus on tour tends mostly to the Vietnamese people and their daily lives, particularly where the old world meets the modern.

We always aim to tell authentic stories with our images, and this means mixing and interacting with the locals, whether in a Saigonese temple, a fishing harbor in Danang or a mountain shack in Sapa. Along the way, we’ll develop our skills in all aspects of photography, from image composition to lens selection and use of different settings. We’ll have regular review sessions, as well as feedback on the go, drawing on the experience and know-how of our expert guides, and the input of our fellow photography-loving travelers.
