Mekong River

The Mother of Waters

From its source high up in the Tibetan Plateau, the powerful Mekong River courses for over 4,000 kilometres through Asia, providing a lifeline for millions of people.

Whether hearing historic tales in the Viet Cong’s Cu Chi Tunnels or participating in a traditional water blessing ceremony with local area monks, your Avalon Waterways cruise will show you the Southeast Asia that other travellers rarely get to see.
