Lifelong Learning

Vietnam and Cambodia

Explore exotic Vietnam and Cambodia on an HBS Alumni Travel Program

Join fellow alumni and friends on a captivating ten-day tour through Indochina (April 19–29), discovering the traditional charm, culture, and natural beauty of Vietnam and the Kingdom of Cambodia. Excursions will take you to the bustling and vibrant city of Hanoi, to the emerald waters and isolated beaches of Halong Bay, and into the ancient temples of Angkor Wat. When you're not exploring the countryside, you'll stay in historic hotels that harken back to the French colonial era, sleep on a traditional sailing junk, and enjoy the pleasures of an atmospheric resort built to resemble a small fisherman's village.

Space is still available on the "Belize: Mayan Jungles and Beaches" tour, set for March 5-12. The registration deadline for that program has been extended until January 20. Sign up today!
