The Vietage by Anantara is ranked #14 and runs as a luxury train between Da Nang and Nha Trang. It has a 4.8‑star rating on Google. The route passes historic sites such as Tra Kieu, Quang Ngai and An Khe lake. The six‑hour Da Nang‑Quy Nhon leg includes a three‑course meal, and the five‑hour Quy Nhon‑Nha Trang leg offers afternoon tea with local caviar and artisanal cheeses.

The Vietnam Central Heritage Connection is ranked #10 and was launched early 2024. It runs a three‑hour link between Hue and Da Nang, showing views of Tam Giang‑Cau Hai lagoon, Lang Co Bay and Hai Van pass.
