Mekong River Cruise with Pandaw – Siem Reap To Saigon (Downstream)

Siem Reap (3 nights), cruising on the Mekong River (7 nights) & Saigon (2 nights)

There can be no tapestry of river life as fascinating and varied as the River Mekong. Indeed there can be no more striking a cultural contrast as that between the bustling Vietnam delta and the tranquility of Cambodia. Pass from the vibrant French colonial port of Saigon, now called Ho Chi Minh City, through the vast Delta so rich in human life and endeavour, to travel along the main channel into the rich countryside of Cambodia. The Pandaw boats explore two countries, two cultures and two ways of life linked by one great river. A shipping link between Saigon and Angkor is immensely practical for the traveller as it makes it possible to connect three important destinations on one trip with easy plane connections at either end: Saigon the exotic Frenchified former capital of South Vietnam, Phnom Penh, the quaint Cambodian capital, and the stupendous World Heritage monuments at Angkor.  Read more about Mekong River Cruise with Pandaw – Siem Reap To Saigon (Downstream)
