LUXURY VIETAGE TRAVEL
STEP ABOARD THE VIETAGE
Embark on a luxurious railway adventure through the lush landscapes and spectacular coastlines of Central Vietnam aboard The Vietage. Embrace the epic romance of rail travel on an exquisite journey that links the heritage charm of Hoi An and the sparkling shores of Quy Nhon. The Vietage combines old-world comfort, breath-taking views and gourmet dining to leave you inspired, refreshed, and ready for your next destination. The train departs from Da Nang Railway Station near Hoi An each morning, and makes the return journey from Quy Nhon every evening.
DESTINATIONS
Steeped in luxury and inspired by the timeless romance of rail travel, The Vietage celebrates the art of the journey. When your adventure ends, you will be arriving at one of two very different, but equally charming, Central Vietnam destinations.
DA NANG & HOI AN
Just a short drive from Da Nang, the UNESCO-listed heritage town of Hoi An beckons with shophouse-lined alleyways, glowing lanterns, traditional teahouses and perfectly preserved architecture. Stroll through a wonderland of captivating history and rich culture on the banks of the Thu Bon River.
ABOUT THE VIETAGE
Central Vietnam’s most exclusive railway experience unites history with nature, beauty with luxury, and excitement with serenity. This elegant 12-guest carriage links historic Hoi An to the unhurried coastlines of Quy Nhon, 318 kilometres to the south, on a six-hour journey that immerses travellers in the romance of the rails.
Inspired by the beauty of Vietnam and the luxury of vintage rail travel, The Vietage’s six spacious booths feature two comfortable window seats, offering everyone on board views of Central Vietnam’s verdant plains, forested mountains and sparkling shores. This beautifully designed carriage also features its own sit-up bar, gourmet dining, private restroom and a dedicated area for head and shoulder treatments.
While The Vietage has been created to provide luxurious cross-country transfers for guests travelling between Anantara Hoi An Resort and Anantara Quy Nhon Resort, the journey is open to all.
THE JOURNEY
The Vietage departs every morning from Da Nang Railway Station at 09:31, arriving in Quy Nhon at 15:31. It makes the return journey in the late afternoon, departing from Dieu Tri Railway Station at 17:29 and arriving in Da Nang at 23:01.
Once all are on board, our hosts will serve refreshments – you are welcome to sit at the bar or settle into your window-side seat. Along the way, sip bubbles and taste the flavours of Vietnam as you pass through spectacular scenery, drinking in panoramic views of postcard-perfect terrains. Depending on the season, enjoy lush, monsoon-green landscapes or spectacularly sun-drenched days.
Within Vietnam’s natural splendours, you might also catch a glimpse of indigenous plants and animals, of ancient history, or of local daily life. Bright bursts of frangipanis. Water buffaloes grazing in fields. White cranes drifting across azure skies. Your host will provide you with a ‘Discovery Book’ that provides all the guidance and information you need for a pleasant and comfortable journey.

SCENERY
As you watch Central Vietnam amble by outside, curious sights might catch your eye – the ruins of ancient cities, historical relics, lakes and towers. There are the crumbled ramparts of Trà Kiệu, the first capital city of the Hindu Champa Kingdom; the coastal city of Quảng Ngãi, home to the Long Wall of Vietnam; and the An Khe Lake, considered the cradle of Sa Huynh culture.
