Asia River Cruises

Vietnam

Vietnam is many things – it’s the exciting energy of the Ben Thanh Markets in capital Ho Chi Minh City, the scent of lemongrass as you learn to cook traditional cuisine. History comes to life while exploring the depths of the Viet Cong Cu Chi Tunnels, and insights into river-side village life unfolding at every bend while gliding down the Mekong. Cast off and live it up on board your private oasis with Avalon, where an adventure of quiet indulgence awaits on an Asian river cruise.
