What you'll see

As well as the cities of Saigon, Phnom Penh and Vientiane, you could also see the following sights on your cruise:

Cai Be – Stop at this delta town to enjoy the sights and sounds of a local floating market. The variety of colourful fruits piled high on the sampans plying the waterways is astonishing!
Wat Hanchey – This pre-Angkorian hilltop temple offers fantastic views down over the river and the surrounding classical Cambodian landscapes.
Tribal villages – Visit some of the ethnic minority villages that line the banks of the Mekong, including the Cham communities of Vietnam and the Aka tribal villages of Muang Long, Laos.
Pak Ou Caves – Explore the sacred caves of Pak Ou, right on the river. The caves store Buddha statues that can no longer be used for worship due to being damaged or out of date – it makes for a fascinating stop.
Golden Triangle – The area where Thailand, Burma and Laos meet, the region was once the world’s largest opium producer, a history documented at the opium museums – the landscapes are also spectacular.
