Mekong River

From the phenomenal temples of Angkor Wat to the seductive elegance of Phnom Penh and buzz of Ho Chi Minh city, sailing through Vietnam and Cambodia on a Mekong River Cruise is a dazzling cultural experience. Whether hearing historic tales in the Viet Cong’s Cu Chi Tunnels, taking an ox cart ride through rice paddies or being embraced by eager, young arms in the local school in rural Ankor-Ban, spine-tingling moments await at every turn. Invite the view in with panoramic views from your suite. Glide through centuries of stories in Asia and live it up with Avalon on the Mekong.
