Hanoi
Hanoi is a melting pot of culture that encompasses the best of Vietnam. Once a small fishing village, Hanoi has transformed into a popular tourist destination with many exciting sights and attractions. Plus, it is located not too far (about a 2-hour-and-40-minute drive, depending on traffic) from Ha Long Bay, which is another one of the country’s biggest draws. Hanoi is filled with everything from colorful artisan shops to historic temples and French architecture to luscious parks, historically significant sites, and much more. You will also come across many street food vendors where you can get a taste of local cuisine. Haiphong, another city in Vietnam that’s worth a visit, is also about an hour and a half drive from Hanoi.
With so many incredible things to do and see, if you take a cruise starting in Hanoi, you may want to consider spending additional time in the city before or after your cruise. That way, you can ensure you have enough time to see it all! A great time to visit Hanoi, for when its most ideal weather usually occurs, is between February and April or October and November. Because of its popularity as a vacation destination, many cruise lines include Hanoi as a destination port in their Asia cruise itineraries, and several feature it as a departure port.

River Cruise Lines
Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.
River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.
Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.
Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.
