Tired of endless repeats on television, shopping in crowded stores and boring daily schedules? If so, get a true Mekong experience on the luxury Mekong cruise and discover the beauty of nature as you meander down the magnificent river!

This exhilarating itinerary takes you from Vietnam to Cambodia on a luxury Pandaw boat. The tour can be taken up stream (from Vietnam to Cambodia) or down stream (from Cambodia to Vietnam) and offers an exclusive glance into the daily life of the mighty Mekong. The Mekong cruising tour consists of fantastic sights including; jungles, cruising through canals and floating villages – all on the comfort of a colonial river steamer.


Highlights of the tour include a city tour of Ho Chi Minh City, one of the most thriving South East Asian cities where you will visit The Reunification Palace (former Presidential Palace), Post Office, Notre Dame Cathedral, Lam Son Square, Ben Thanh Market and Thien Hau pagoda. Later, the boat will cruise up the Saigon River to the Cu Chi Tunnels and then return to Ho Chi Minh City to continue city touring.

The Mekong cruise also takes you to the beautiful Delta region where you can take a small boat to visit the floating markets and cruise to Vinh Long for more sightseeing. You can also travel down the canals and backwaters by local ferry boat and transfer to small boats at Chau Doc to visit a Cham tribal village. Return to the ship and cast off for the Cambodian border and moor overnight downstream from Phnom Penh. In Cambodia, you will enjoy the sights that the capital Phnom Penh has to offer and will watch life pass you by as you sip a cool drink on the river bank. You will also enjoy a private city tour of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia.

After that you can depart to the little-known Chong Koh silk weaving village and then get fascinated by Mekong's timeless villages and river life with extensive fishing activities. Travel to the hilltop pre-Angkorian temple of Wat Hanchey next morning and reach the temple of Wat Nokor by noon.

From the beginning to the end, the Cambodia Mekong cruise is dream journey, the memory of which will last a lifetime!
