Vietnam Cruise Reviews

We just returned from the 13 day Wonders of Vietnam, Cambodia and the Mekong. We were extremely well taken care of from the moment we landed in Saigon to the day we flew out of Siem Reap. Our guide in Vietnam, Chi Pham - was the best guide we have ever had, she made sure we received exceptional service in Saigon and was very informative, it was hard to say goodbye to her at the Cambodian border, ...

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 ...

This is a cruise like no other . The Amadara is a stunning boat ,all wood and Asian ,absolutetly prefect for the Mekong ,unlike the other big name cruise boats that were just European boats floating in Asia. From the first minute on board the staff were friendly and there to help . The food is incredible every meal and the themed nights amazing . The shore excursions were all we ...

The Spectrum of the Seas is a very large ship with many activities for families and people who want to experience onboard activities. Although my husband and I are in neither of those categories we enjoyed the cruise and particularly the quieter areas of the ship set aside for suite guests. Our junior suite was a good size and in very good condition. The food was good quality and the staff were ...

Unfortunately, it wasn't this time around. We booked this Scenic Grand Indochina and Luxury Mekong cruise months in advance, expecting a month-long of oriental charm and culture. It turned out a bureaucratic script, too rushed and with several unplanned and unpleasant situations. It started with a total lack of information and interactivity on the Scenic site. We didn't get the booking details and ...

This was our first time sailing with Emerald and our second river cruise (the first was Egypt with Avalon - not our favourite experience). The Wonders of the Mekong tour was outstanding. We did the combined land/river cruise and the accomodations, food, itinerary, guides and ship staff were all incredible. The itinerary was perfectly paced and allowed for adequate breaks/rest between ...

Always wanted to got to Vietnam and Cambodia and had to wait due to Covid. This was a special trip for a 60th, 70th and 30th wedding anniversary for our small party. The boat was 5 star as was the food, the staff and the included tours. So much choice in the restaurant and staff was friendly, efficient and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble, we were totally spoilt. The tour guides ...

The whole trip was through Emerald River Cruises. The region ,Angkor Wat and other temples are all brilliant . Makes it difficult to imagine as to how they were constructed those many hundreds of years ago. All guides were very informative with the local history and the meanings of the many temples and statues. All villages, towns along the Mekong were different, some relied on coco-nut ...

The cruise experience was good. First I appreciated that everybody was tested for COVID before boarding. Very good food and plentiful including local preparations and fresh fruits, lots of restaurants on board, also lots of activities for all ages, games, music, dancing etc. The personnel always smiling, patient and helpful, the ship clean with good maintenance. The access for the passengers to ...

After over 50 cruises, I thought it would make sense to sail Cunard. BIG mistake. The Queen Elizabeth was coming out of a dry dock just prior to our cruise, so I expected to step aboard an almost new, spiffy ship. That didn't happen. There were broken items in the Lido, in the Casino, in the Laundry rooms and in the public bathrooms. And everything that was broken on Day 1 stayed broken to the end ...
