What counts as a Vietnam cruise?
A sailing counts as a Vietnam cruise if it will call at least once at a Vietnam ship port. That covers ocean, river and expedition sailings, whether Vietnam is where the cruise begins, where it ends, or one stop on a longer route.
Of 369 upcoming sailings, 73 start in Vietnam, 59 end in Vietnam and 19 begin and end there. The other 256 (69%) visit Vietnam as a port of call on a longer route, often alongside Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and other countries. Ocean and expedition sailings call at Ho Chi Minh City, Hạ Long, Da Nang, Nha Trang and Sa Dec. River sailings call at Cái Bè, Hanoi, Mỹ Tho, Cho Gao and Hoi An on the Mekong.

How we calculated these figures
- Upcoming sailing: an itinerary with at least one departure date from today onward, counted once however many departure dates it has. Sailings that have passed drop out each day.
- Vietnam cruise: a sailing that calls at least once at a Vietnam ship port. A sailing "starts" or "ends" in Vietnam when its first or last stop is a Vietnam ship port.
- Lowest starting fare: the lowest "from" price among that line's upcoming Vietnam sailings, per person based on double occupancy, in US dollars. Under our Cruise Disclosure, prices include all applicable taxes and fees. Fares still depend on cabin category and date, so treat them as a starting point for comparison, not a quote.
- Typical length: the range covers the middle 80% of that line's sailings (the shortest and longest tenth are left out), and "typically" is the most common length.
- Kinds of cruise: A sailing is in exactly one kind, so the totals by kind add up to the 369 sailings above. Ocean: sailings on ocean-going ships, including expedition ships and ferries. River: sailings on rivers, canals and lakes. A river itinerary that also includes a coastal leg counts as river. A line that sails more than one kind appears in each list, with its sailings split by kind. Totals by kind count each sailing once.
- Style categories: Ultra-luxury, Luxury, Premium and Contemporary are Waterways Cruise's own groupings of cruise lines, not an industry standard.
- Freshness: the sailing data is refreshed daily from the sailings we list; figures here were calculated on .
