Riverglow: Vietnam

This journey is designed for women 18+ who want to experience Ireland by blending lively city experiences with refined countryside moments, all thoughtfully planned and easy to enjoy.

You’ll likely enjoy this trip if you:

• Are comfortable traveling with a small group (maximum of 8)

• Prefer private accommodations and thoughtfully selected hotels

• Enjoy a mix of structured experiences and free time

• Are open to walking-based sightseeing and moving between locations

• Appreciate local food, culture, and experiences that feel grounded and intentional

• Travel with flexibility, curiosity, and a good sense of humor

This trip may not be a good fit if you:

• Require highly customized schedules or constant individual attention

• Prefer luxury resort stays with minimal activities

• Are looking for nightlife-focused or party-centered travel

• Dislike group dynamics or shared schedules

• Expect a fully independent, DIY-style itinerary

This trip is considered light to moderate and includes walking-based sightseeing in cities, villages, and the countryside. While the itinerary is thoughtfully paced, you should be comfortable:

• Walking on cobblestone streets, uneven pathways, and historic surfaces

• Standing for periods during tastings, performances, and guided experiences

• Participating in light outdoor activities such as falconry (no strenuous hiking)

• Moving between locations with occasional early starts or longer days

Built-in free time allows for rest, independent exploration, or opting out of activities as needed.

Are rooms shared or private?

All accommodations are single occupancy by default. You’ll have your own room throughout the trip.

If you’d like to share a room with someone you know, you’re welcome to request a double-occupancy option at the time of booking or by emailing us. Availability and pricing adjustments will be confirmed individually.

How big is the group?

This is a small-group experience, capped at 8 travelers.

Keeping the group intimate allows for smoother logistics, better access to guides and experiences, and a more relaxed, personal atmosphere throughout the journey.

What type of hotels will we stay in?

We stay in carefully selected 4–5-star accommodations, including a centrally located city hotel and a refined countryside estate.

The focus is on comfort, cleanliness, strong service, and excellent location,  so you’re close to the places you’ll be exploring and can easily enjoy your free time without long transfers or complicated transportation.

(Hotel names are shared privately with confirmed travelers closer to departure.)

What happens after I book?

Once your booking and deposit are complete, here’s what to expect:

• You’ll receive a confirmation email with the next steps and important trip details

• You’ll be invited to a short welcome & orientation call to go over logistics, answer any remaining questions, and get you fully set up

• You’ll receive ongoing trip emails with packing guidance, travel tips, and key reminders

• We’ll host three Zoom prep calls (around 90, 60, and 30 days before departure) so you can meet fellow travelers, review details, and feel confident heading into the trip.

You’ll never be left guessing. We stay in touch and guide you all the way to departure.

What is your cancellation policy?

Because trips require advance reservations and supplier commitments, our policy is as follows:

• The $400 deposit is non-refundable

• A 50% refund of payments (excluding deposit) may be requested for cancellations made more than 6 months before the trip start date

• No refunds are available for cancellations made within 6 months of departure

• If Out & Abroad cancels the trip for any reason, all payments are fully refunded

For this reason, travel insurance is strongly recommended and covered in more detail in the section below.

What happens if the trip is canceled?

If Out & Abroad cancels the trip, you will receive a full refund of all payments made, including your deposit.

Who do I contact if I have questions or special requests?

Your trip is a meaningful investment and while we hope everything goes smoothly, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect that investment.

If you're unable to travel for any reason, insurance can help cover unexpected cancellations, delays, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. Look for plans that include “Cancel for Any Reason” coverage for the highest flexibility.
