Wonderful visit to Viet Nam, Cambodia and Thailand

We were able to visit all views of the countries - the large cities, the small towns and the small villages. It was a broad-brush view of Asian countries. To see the "Hanoi Hilton" in person was very moving. The temples in Cambodia, Angkor Wat and Ta Prohm and others were especially good. And for us who were somewhat unstable, the Tuk-Tuk driver helped. The use of Tul-Tuks was a great ...

We have been on a number of Viking cruises, most of them ocean cruises. We did this trip primarily to visit Angkor Wat and experience the newly launched Viking Saigon on the MeKong River. This was hands down the most educational trip we’ve ever taken. The Program Directors and local guides were fantastic, both in the land-based part of the trip and on the river. The time spent in both Hanoi ...

Having enjoyed numerous European river cruises, we chose Viking's Magnificent Mekong to get a completely different experience. It was certainly that. We thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary, tours, accommodations, food, and service on this cruise. The planning for the trip immediately highlighted the differences from European travel when we started the visa process. This turned out to be decidedly ...

It was my first time going on a Viking Cruise and I was a solo traveler. It was so much more than a cruise. I chose Viking because of their reputation and the quality of what they do for their guests. I had never been to Southeast Asia before, but have always been fascinated. I am also into the history The Vietnam War. This trip was not just a cruise, but a fantastic journey through Vietnam and ...

Angkor Wat was the only thing left on my bucket list. I was turning 70 and we were celebrating our 10th anniversary - what better way to make those events memorable than with a 14 night cruise on the Magnificent Mekong River with Viking River Cruises. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Hanoi , the Viking tour director was there to see to our every need. A more professional operation I ...

First Cruise Experience, Very Enjoyable

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

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 ...

We were planning on going to Russia this year but those plans blow up in Putian's face. We opted to got to Southeast Asia as Plan B. Having taken two other Viking cruises our expectorations where very high and the cruise met our expectation and then some. Each hotel along the way (there were 3) were all great. The drivers in each city were great. All the meals served on the cruise and in ...

We'd never been to this part of the world & wanted to experience the different cultures. We added the pre in Ha Long Bay & post in Bangkok; therefore, this was a combination of river & land tour. We were met at the airport by our Tour Director. Tony was fabulous, knowledgable & went out of his way to make sure everyone was enjoying his country. Every hotel was top notch - good size rooms, very ...
