See the major historical and archeological sites of Cambodia and Vietnam with a luxury river cruise and the finest five-star hotel stays
The magnificent Mekong river, one of the longest rivers in Asia,
winds gracefully past lush green paddy fields and tiny fishermen's
villages in Vietnam and along to Cambodia's elaborate temples
through its fascinating capital, Phnom Penh.
This excellent 17-day adventure includes a seven-night cruise
along the Mekong in a Luxury Balcony suite aboard the Mekong Jewel,
a luxurious and ornately-decorated ship. On board you'll find two
dining venues, including an al-fresco venue on the deck, plus a
swimming pool, spa, sauna and steam room, two lounges and a
library.
You'll board the Mekong Jewel after spending two days in the
frenetic Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll witness ancient history
melding with the energetic present in Vietnam's largest city.
There'll be 13 excellent excursions included in your itinerary,
all fully hosted by local, English-speaking experts.
In Phnom Penh you'll discover the harrowing and brutal history
of the Khmer Rouge regime and the infamous Killing Fields. But as
well as learning about Cambodia's dark past, you'll also get a
chance to celebrate the country's bright future.
You'll meet children at a local school and local villagers in
their homes, and have a rare opportunity to receive a water
blessing from local Buddhist monks.
Discover the fascinating archaeological site of Angkor, where
you'll see the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer
Empire, including the world-famous temple complex of Angkor Wat, a
UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Your tour ends in Hanoi, Vietnam, where you'll take a tour of
the city, wandering its elegant boulevards lined with trees and
grand buildings, spending a night in a luxury hotel before your
flight home.
Please note, some departures run in the reverse
order, departing from Hanoi and finishing in Ho Chi Minh
City.
