Lose yourself in a fascinating journey from Can Tho, the “Jewel of the Mekong Delta” to Dalat, the “City of a Thousand Flowers”

TMG – The exciting adventure of exploring Can Tho, the “Jewel of the Mekong Delta” and Dalat, the “City of a Thousand Flowers” just got a lot easier, thanks to a recent announcement from Vietjet Air that the route between these two cities will relaunch starting November 11, 2024.

Flight schedule between Can Tho and Dalat: 

Can Tho – The soul of the Mekong Delta 

Amidst the beautiful landscapes of the Mekong Delta, Can Tho stands out like a precious gem. Located in the center of southwestern Vietnam with no fewer than 13 rivers flowing through it, Can Tho is a wonderful blend of prosperous city and rustic countryside just waiting to be explored.

Located at the confluence of the Can Tho and Hau rivers, the stylish Victoria Can Tho Resort is set amongst lush green gardens, inviting visitors to fully immerse themselves in the distinctive beauty and slow pace of life of this largest city in the delta.

Like its sister properties in the Victoria Hotels & Resorts chain, Victoria Can Tho is inspired by the architectural style of the Indochina era, where every corner of the resort feels nostalgic and luxurious, bridging the past and the present.

Guest rooms at Victoria Can Tho feature artistic decorative elements like traditional paintings and natural wood furniture, creating an elegant yet intimate setting. With views of the lush tropical gardens, the sparkling swimming pool, or the gently flowing Can Tho River, guests can comfortably relax on the balcony, take in the fresh air, and enjoy the cool breezes blowing from off the river. 

Journey through the Mekong Delta: Discover the cultural and natural beauty of southern Vietnam

Leaving from the resort’s jetty, Victoria Cruises is the ideal choice for short journeys to experience local culture. With unique tours such as “Discover the Delta” on the Mekong Princess or “Mekong Impressions” on the Cai Be Princess, visitors can tour bustling floating markets like the famed Cai Rang floating market to witness the lively atmosphere among hundreds of boats and savor specialties such as crab noodle soup. 

If visiting Can Tho during the rainy season, also known as the vibrant “green season”, usually lasting from May to October, visitors will have the opportunity to sample the many tropical fruit varieties when touring fruit orchards including rambutan, mangosteen or mango plucked right from the trees. 

Aboard the quaint wooden boats of the Victoria Cruises fleet, guests can also stroll around the river islet of Con Son to learn about aquaculture and experience the unique activities of the area, including a fish foot massage, see snakehead fish leaping from the water or even feed the fish using baby bottles.  

For a more in-depth experience, falling asleep on the calm Mekong River onboard the comfortable Song Xanh overnight cruise boat is a can’t-miss when in the Delta. 

Beyond cruising on the waterways, cycling tours led by Victoria Can Tho are another great way to explore the beauty of the countryside, with endless fields of rice, witnessing how life is lived on the cacao farms and in the many handicraft villages around Can Tho. 

As impressive as the river scenery is, the cuisine of the Mekong Delta is not to be missed. At Victoria Can Tho Resort, every Saturday night, the “Street Food” buffet recreates a traditional market with stalls brimming with local specialties, allowing guests to sample a veritable feast of flavors typical of the Mekong Delta.

4-star “Floating Resort” on the Mekong River 

From the pier at Victoria Can Tho Resort, the luxurious 4-star Victoria Mekong Cruises is another way to experience the Mekong Delta. The amenities aboard the Victoria Mekong include a mini golf course and outdoor jacuzzi and the itinerary is packed with activities and excursions, inviting guests to discover some of the wonderful highlights of the Mekong Delta as well as Cambodia’s enchanting capital of Phnom Penh. 

The highlands of Dalat – A magical place to soothe the soul 

If Can Tho is the riverside capital of the Mekong Delta, then Dalat is the misty city of a thousand flowers. Dalat offers visitors a cool climate, beautiful flowers, and pine-covered hills shrouded in morning mist. With its lush green valleys and dreamy hillsides, Da Lat is the ideal destination for those who love quiet, natural landscapes.
