Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Gourmet Food Cruises Cruise Reviews

We were really impressed by the staff and the vessel from the moment we boarded the Jayavarman.All facilities on board were excellent.

Our table was excellently serviced by the delightful Moni and others. We would certainly ...

The cabins were luxurious and exceptionally comfortable. The availability of a connecting cabin was much appreciated especially travelling as a family with teenage children.
