The Violette carriage is a recent addition to some of the trains and provides enhanced comfort for travellers. The carriages are split up into four-berth cabins with two upper and two lower bunks. Bonus features when compared to standard class carriages include efficient air-conditioning, snacks, drinks, personal steward service and comfortable bedding and mattresses.
Journey times between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are 30 hours plus and it pays to invest a little to enjoy the trip with a few added extras. Travellers also have the option of breaking up their journeys with stopovers in locations such as Hue, Danang or Nha Trang on the way.
