The Journey

The bit of the trip people expect to endure, turned into the part they remember.

Central Vietnam is a long, thin country to cross, and the stretch between Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang is usually a flight you forget or a car journey you survive. The Vietage is the alternative: a single carriage attached to the scheduled train, carrying twelve guests in six booths, each with two window seats.

There is a sit-up bar at one end and a treatment area at the other. On the Da Nang and Quy Nhon routes you are served a pre-selected three-course meal, and between Quy Nhon and Nha Trang it is an afternoon tea with local caviar, Vietnamese artisanal cheeses and cold cuts. Drinks, snacks and a fifteen-minute head and shoulder treatment come with every route. It is a shared carriage rather than a private one, and the coast does the rest.

Central Vietnam by Train: The Vietage common questions

Good to know before you go.

What is The Vietage?

A single carriage attached to the scheduled train between Da Nang, Quy Nhon and Nha Trang, carrying twelve guests in six two-seat window booths, with a bar and a treatment area on board.

Which routes does it run?

Four: Da Nang to Quy Nhon, Quy Nhon to Da Nang, Quy Nhon to Nha Trang and Nha Trang to Quy Nhon. Journeys run from about four hours up to just over six.

Is the carriage private?

No. Your booking reserves seating within a shared carriage rather than the whole carriage. With only twelve guests on board it still feels quiet.

What food and drink is included?

A pre-selected three-course meal on the Da Nang and Quy Nhon routes, and an afternoon tea with local caviar, Vietnamese artisanal cheeses and cold cuts between Quy Nhon and Nha Trang. Light snacks and free-flow wines, beers, cocktails, mocktails, soft drinks, tea and coffee come with every route.

Which station do I actually use for Quy Nhon?

Dieu Tri Railway Station, which is outside Quy Nhon rather than in it. Onward transport from there is arranged separately, and we can set that up for you. Guests staying in Hoi An board at Da Nang Railway Station.

Can I sleep on board?

An evening sleeper booth for one adult can be requested on the Quy Nhon to Da Nang journey only, subject to availability. The other routes are daytime seated journeys.
