CRUISE THE MEKONG
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.
We pass from the vibrant French colonial port of Saigon, through the vast delta so rich in human life and endeavour, to travel along the main channel into the rich countryside of Cambodia.
With a full day in charming Phnom Penh we then explore remoter waterways as we progress to the great monuments of Angkor and a two night stay at the 5 star Sofitel Angkor Hotel.

R C Hamiliton
I love how quickly I integrated into the whole thing - the since the cruise ended last month, I have already had my 'gang' round for dinner and it was like meeting up with life long friends. We already have out next booking in!
Moselle Passenger
I have just returned from a cruise around Northern Europe with a different company. It didn'nt even compare to a Theatrical Adventure. No fun and rubbish entertainment. We'll be travelling with you next time.
