Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Asia Cruise Reviews

This Mekong cruise, with my hubby, fit with other Asia travel plans. We are early 60s, in good health & walk 3-5 miles a day. The good: Hotels were mostly 5 star and had good breakfast buffets with extensive variety. Viking Saigon was beautiful with lovely, well appointed, large cabins and a good variety of food. Buses had AC and carried cold, bottled water, but not toilets (not ...

We signed up for the cruise because a travel couple invited us to join them. Our normal travel experience is via guided hiking trips usually with an activity level of 3-4.

We unfortunately were put into cabin VS201 (our friends in VS202) at the nose of the ship, which was ...

Joined the ship in Saigon for a 3 night / 4 day cruise to Phnom Penh. Cost was approximately £500 (GBP) per night for a double cabin. Passengers met for registration at the Intercontinental Asiana in Saigon. It was disappointing that Pandaw did not arrange for coffee to be available during what turned out to be a 2 hour wait for transport to the ship. Not a good first impression. That said, ...
