We have always wanted to visit this area to view not only the beautiful sights, but also to learn about the culture & history. We certainly were not disappointed. Our Viking tour guide Bic Tran gave us a true insight into Cambodia & Vietnam. She gave us an insight into the wars In both Vietnam ( based on her families experience) that you would never get in history books. Her prospective of what ...
We absolutely loved the Viking Saigon Ship. We didn't want to leave. The people were extremely friendly and we enjoyed all the tours. We also enjoyed the patio bar dining in the back of the ship along with cooking classes offered by the staff. Even the land Hotels were five star. The interaction with the people that Viking supports made the trip even more special both in Vietnam and Cambodia. We ...
We were very interested in seeing Asia and this seemed like a good place to start. Embarkation was a breeze! Taken right to our suite. Huge! Lots of space. Didn’t have a balcony but did have large windows that lowered. Staff very welcoming from the moment we boarded and everywhere went went. Our favorite place to relax with a beverage was the spirit lounge/River cafe where we interacted with very ...
We had done most of the rivers in Europe with Viking so we wanted to try something new and different.
Our last Viking river trip was the Nile in Feb. 2020 and I thought nothing could surpass that trip but the Mekong did.
The entire trip was top notch all around, from the flights, the hotels, the food, the ship and the excursions.
Most importantly the guides for all 3 groups were ...
We had been on a previous Scenic River cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam and since that was a first class experience, we decided to go on this cruise. This cruise along the Mekong River from Vietnam to Cambodia far exceeded our expectations. Our cruise Director, Mirko, who has a wonderful sense of humour, was so very helpful and caring both for his guests and his staff. It was obvious, from the ...
This was one of the best Viking trips I have taken. The ship and crew were absolutely stellar. The crew could not have been more attentive. The food was excellent and the stateroom more than comfortable. It was great being on a very new vessel.
The shore excursions were fun and well planned out. The local guides provided great information and adding their personal stories, making the ...
My wife and I are experienced ocean and riverboat cruisers but this was our first Viking trip. Because of the superb attention to details, great food, and wonderful staff, it will be the first of many. This trip is a combination of land tour before and after an 8 day journey on the Viking Saigon up the Mekong river. Both portions were excellent, although the ship was so good we wished we could ...
This was our third Viking cruise. It did not disappoint.
All the guides were excellent. The food on the ship was equal to any five star restaurant. The excursions were interesting, fun, and extremely well orchestrated. (And all but one was included with our booking. )
The excursions were similar to other Viking cruises - a mix of main tourist destinations at each city. A bonus was tuk tuk ...
We have been with Scenic on numerous tours throughout the world. Scenic have always looked after us fabulously, everything is all inclusive, well catered, the best accommodation, and great guides. At the time of booking, the Scenic Eclipse had been held up with construction so we decided on this River Cruise (our first) in lieu of that. Our main goal was the Angkor Wat temple complexes.
This ...
Our introduction to Vietnam was interesting and educational with our tour to the Cu Chi’s tunnels and a visit to the city of Saigon followed the next day to transfer to our ship.
Everything about this cruise was excellent. The slide down window turned our stateroom into our private balcony where we could enjoy life on the Mekong River as we sailed along. The dining experience was wonderful ...
