NIGHT TRAINS

In Vietnam, 4-night train routes are available: Hanoi – Lao Cai, Hanoi – Hue, Ho Chi Minh – Danang, and Ho Chi Minh – Nha Trang. Night Trains are difficult to organize. They are often fully booked and even if we book the best carriage for your customers it can happen that we cannot get any bunks for various reasons and there is a risk of last-minute cancelation. There are 3 choices:

Livitrans: Private Company
Ratraco : Private Company
Governemental trains
