Additional details

Sail Date: Nov 2011

The journey through Vietnam & Cambodia is a worthwhile trip. The tours provide an insight into the daily life of the people in the cities and countryside. The activities, such as the rickshaw, oxcart rides, visit to the markets, blessing by the Buddhist monks, seeing the production of silk, bricks, rice paper, coconut candy & rattan mats are most interesting.

VISAS

We obtained the multiple entry Vietnam visa by using VISA ON ARRIVAL, over the internet. We paid a US$19 fee (on credit card) for the letter of invitation. On arrival at the Hanoi airport, we presented the letter, a passport photo and our passports. After a short wait, we paid a US$50 cash pp (per person) 'stamping fee' for the visa in our passports. This worked well.

Cabin Review

The cabin was on the bottom floor, next to crews quarters.

It had two port holes, which were small and up high (difficult to see out of).

The cabin had a bad smell (like diesel fuel), that was related to cleaning products.

Well laid out with ample storage and a comfortable bed.

NOT RECOMMENDED to stay on the bottom floor.
