We are travelling to Vietnam next January, flights to & from Hanoi booked.Our itinerary is as follows. Hanoi – Arrive at 10 am. Plan to spend 3 nights there. So that will give us 2 & bit days. We then were collected from Hanoi to go to Ha Lang Bay for a 1 night, 2 day cruise. We are collected from Ha Lang Bay & taken to Ninh Binh. Arrive late afternoon. Staying 5 nights, we leave on the overnight train so that give us 4 full days/nights, plus the day we travel. Arrive in Hue by train at 10.00. Staying 3 nights, so that give us 2 full days plus the day of arrival. Transfer from Hue to Hoi An arriving late afternoon. Staying 7 nights, before flying home. We have 2 nights/days spare. Would you stay an extra night in any of the locations or would you travel somewhere else? We’ve ruled out going to Sapa because the weathers not great in January or doing a 2 night, 3 day cruise around Ha Lang Bay, other than that we’ve open to ideas. Sorry for the long post, but felt it important to give you an idea of what we are already doing. Any suggestions etc. would be great.

Let me do tailor made trip for you more detail and realizable
Hows about flighing into Cambodia fir two or three nights. We go to Vietnam on Sunday and I regret ( I forgot about it) not booking Cambodia.
Your itinerary is almost identical to ours — we’re actually still in Huế 😄 A few practical notes:
Stop in Hue, spend 3 days and less in Hoi An as its January so will be cooler and probably wet, plus of course overcrowding.
Michael Moores how are you getting from Ha Long to Ninh Binh?
I’d add an extra night in Halong Bay. Leave any extra days for Hanoi, before flying home. I’m here now for the fourth time. 💖
We did a similar itenary but added in Phong Nha which was probably one of my favourites. Unless your getting clothes made in Hoi An you don’t really need that long there.
We have just done a two night in Halong Bay and was well worth staying for the two nights.
5 days in Ninh Binh feels like too much. We did the Ha Giang loop (Easy rider option as we are 60.) that was the highlight of our extended trip so far. Yes it will be a bit & possibly a bit wet but they provide weather protection. We did 3 days but 2 days is possible if you’re tight for time. We went with Mr Hung which wasn’t full of partygoers
I would recommend a 2 night cruise instead of 1, mostly because of the additional activities – riding on a bicycle through the most scenic landscapes and a little village on an island 🥰 I’ve gone back to ha long bay twice just for this!
