Đẳng cấp thực sự với phòng tắm riêng ngay trong cabin

Lần đầu tiên đi tàu hỏa ở Việt Nam mà có phòng tắm đứng nước nóng khép kín ngay trong phòng như khách sạn 5 sao. Rất đáng tiền cho kỳ nghỉ kỷ niệm ngày cưới.

Like the Orient Express of Northern Vietnam!

We splurged on the Heritage Queen Cabin with private en-suite shower. Having our own bathroom onboard, chilled Champagne, butler service, and the L'Amant De Tonkin lounge made the overnight journey pure luxury.
