First time operating VIP train car designed in Indochina style

The exterior of the new carriage is designed with the main red color of the Red Flamboyant Flower, the symbol of Hai Phong city. The interior of the carriage is designed in a modern style, with a luxurious interior space, in harmony with the diverse architectural and cultural history of the Port city.

For the first time, Vietnam Railways has put into operation a 34-seat VIP carriage with an interior designed in the Indochinese style, combining modern lines and traditional Asian colors towards elegance and nobility. The carriage is equipped with natural wooden floors, a wifi system and a bar serving free drinks. This can be a new and interesting mobile check-in location and also a place for musical performances on the carriage.

Passengers can adjust their seating direction when traveling on the Hanoi - Hai Phong route.

The 56-seat carriage has seats that can rotate 180 degrees, allowing passengers to comfortably adjust their seating direction, without worrying about motion sickness due to sitting in the opposite direction when the train is running. The interior details are also carefully selected to bring a sense of comfort throughout your journey. In addition, the new carriages are also equipped with semi-automatic doors, an electric board that automatically displays the train's location and speed; a spacious hand-washing area, a modern and clean toilet, a plastic carpet floor, and a luxurious stone-patterned plastic wall paneling.

To meet the diverse needs of passengers, in addition to the 34-seat VIP cars and 56-seat swivel cars, the train also has 64-seat economy cars, along with a flexible fare policy.

VIP tickets range from 250,000 VND - 300,000 VND/seat.

Specifically, the special ticket class (34-seat VIP car) has a ticket price of 250,000 VND/ticket for the beginning of the week, and a ticket price of 300,000 VND/ticket for the weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). With VIP tickets, passengers will be served a free drink of their choice (fruit juice, chrysanthemum tea, coffee, mineral water, etc.) throughout the journey. The first-class ticket class (56-seat car with reversing function) has a ticket price of 150,000 VND/ticket for the beginning of the week, and a ticket price of 180,000 VND/ticket for the weekend; passengers are served 1 bottle of water. The economy ticket class has a ticket price of 105,000 VND/ticket for the beginning of the week, and a ticket price of 130,000 VND/ticket for the weekend.

Especially during the opening week (from May 10 to May 18, 2025), the Railway industry will reduce 10% of ticket prices for all trains on the route (HP1/HP2, LP5/LP6, LP2/LP3/LP7 and LP8).
