AmaWaterways - Vietnam, Cambodia & The Riches Of The Mekong
The Mekong River winds its way from the Tibetan plateaus of China's Yunnan Province, through the rainforests, plains and rice fields of five Southeast Asian countries before meeting the South China Sea. In terms of length, it's the 12th largest river in the world, but in terms of historic, cultural and ecological richness, the Mekong has no equal. The sagas of ancient empires, colonial powers and modern conflicts have unfolded along her banks, and through it all, the Mekong remains first and foremost a lifeline. Temples, trade routes and fishing villages in the river's path are today untouched by time, just as the way of life they represent. Nowhere are the river's riches more apparent than in the neighbouring, but distinct countries of Vietnam and Cambodia.
AmaWaterways' exclusive 15-day Vietnam, Cambodia & The Riches of the Mekong itinerary highlights the most renowned historical and cultural treasures of Southeast Asia. In addition to an unforgettable river cruise aboard either of the two most deluxe river cruise vessels on the Mekong, the programme's features include:
- 2 nights in Vietnam's bustling capital of Hanoi, famous for its graceful colonial architecture, verdant parks, tranquil lakes and ancient temples
- An overnight cruise onboard a luxurious traditional Junk in Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its spectacular limestone cliffs
- 3 nights in Siem Reap, Cambodia, gateway to the Angkor Archeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the legendary Angkor Wat
- An overnight in historic Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam
We also offer an 8-day Vietnam, Cambodia & the Riches of the Mekong (Cruise Only) itinerary.
The most deluxe river cruise vessels on the Mekong:
