Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Asia River Cruise Reviews

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’d never been to Southeast Asia so the experience would be exciting. We’d never cruised at all and don’t care for very large groups nor low activity levels so it would be interesting to see how cruises fit into our ...

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 ...

The tour of Ho Chi Minh was an educational enlightment and covered the atmosphere and energy of the city Boarding and leaving the ship on completion of the tour was effortless and very easy The ship and cabin was faultless and an integral part of the tour and well being associated with complete trip. Dining entertaining and services were an integral part of the atmosphere to the point ...

Overall good cruise with somewhat interesting itinerary on a relatively comfortable ship and a good crew. We saw what we came to see - how real people of the 2 countries live, many historic sites. Clearly Seam Riep and Angkor Wat are the highlights of the tour. Rooms are well designed and a bathroom is good size and well functioned. Great hotels selection. However, I want to concentrate my ...

Chose this cruise as we liked the look of Emerald Cruises, and the new Harmony ship, when investigating possible intineraries for a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia. The whole trip met and in many ways exceeded our expectations. A beautiful immaculate ship, big enough to be well equipped and spacious and not too crowded and impersonal. Plenty of space to chill out and relax. Very stable and quiet ...

We booked the Scenic Luxury Mekong and Temple Discovery Cruise, which started with a flight from the UK to Vietnam, a night at The Intercontinental Hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and a few hours to explore Saigon (HCMC) before meeting the rest of the group, a set lunch at a typical Vietnamese restaurant in the city and then a couple of hours coach journey (including a comfort stop) to the embarkation ...

Best vacation ever! We’ve been on close to 30 international vacations of various types, and this one was indeed exceptional. We booked our Scenic vacation Treasures of the Mekong for Oct. 20 – Nov. 1, 2019. We began in Ho Chi Minh City and finished in Siem Reap – which was lovely ending it all with the fabulous Angkor Watt. Although it was considered at the end of monsoon season, our weather ...
