Vietnam, Cambodia And The Riches Of A Mekong River Cruise

January 19, 2016  |  Share:

A Mekong River Cruise, there’s no other journey in the world quite like it. Both Vietnam and Cambodia offer lush, tropical greenery and a chance to discover some of South East Asia’s most incredible ancient cities, temples and natural wonders. If you are looking for a voyage with a difference in 2016 then this is certainly one to consider and we highly recommend AmaWaterways AmaDara.

Vietnam

Vietnam, a charming destination that offers vibrant cities and beautiful countryside alongside some of the most impressive temples and pagodas in the world. In the north, the capital of Hanoi and the beauty of Ha Long Bay await. Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Gulf of Tonkin, includes some 1,600 islands and islets, forming a spectacular seascape of limestone pillars. It is truly a spectacle to see. On the central coast, Hue and Hoi An hold ancient appeal. In the south, bustling markets play out against a contrasting backdrop of French colonial architecture and skyscrapers in Saigon, also known as Ho Chi Minh City.

Cambodia

In Cambodia, a world of iconic landmarks is waiting to be discovered. Phnom Penh’s Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda have retained their magnificence despite the region’s war-ravaged past. In Siem Reap, lose yourself in ancient history at Angkor Archaeological Park when wandering the many famous temples. Angkor is actually one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia, stretching over 400 km2. Angkor Wat is also the largest religious temple complex in the world.

Mekong River Cruises with AmaDara

The Mekong River rises in the mountains of Tibet, flows through south-west China and Burma, marks the border between Thailand and Laos, and meanders through Cambodia and Vietnam where its fertile delta forms the region’s agricultural heartland, and AmaWaterways offers a superb itinerary along the Mekong aboard AmaDara.

AmaDara’s 11-day voyages begin with a 2-day stay in Siem Reap. Here, you will spend 2 evenings in a local hotel and have the chance to explore before joining AmaDara and beginning your iconic journey. The rest of your journey is as follows: Preak Kdam, Kampong Chhnang/Koh Chen, Koh Chen, Oudong, Kampong-Tralach, Phnom Penh, Tan Chau, Sa Dex, Xeo Quyt and Ho Chi Minh City.
