Pearls of Southeast Asia aboard the M.S. L'Austral

Begin in Hong Kong and board the intimate M.S. L'Austral  for a nine-night cruise featuring the scenic beauty, rich culture, and history of Vietnam, including the South China Sea, Ha Long Bay, and Gulf of Tonkin. Visit four UNESCO World Heritage sites—Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hue, and Hoi An. An optional pre-cruise extension to Hong Kong and post-cruise extension to Angkor Wat are offered. With only 110 cabins, the small ship calls on ports inaccessible to larger vessels. Onboard lectures by study leaders add insight and airfare from Los Angeles is included. Members of other organizations will join SBMA, including Chrysler Museum, Dartmouth, Duke, Mills College, National Trust, Northwestern, Smithsonian and USC.
