Pandaw Mekong Cruise... Vietnam & Cambodia
12 days from £7,270 for 2024 per person
Explore one of the world's great rivers on this seven night cruise. The Mekong gives life to delta towns in Vietnam and Cambodia, and on this journey you will travel to small riverside villages and past sleepy temples that, being inaccessible by road, are well off the tourist trail. The journey ends at the majestic temples of Angkor. This journey can also be done in reverse.
This luxury tour is purely a suggested itinerary. It can be booked as it is or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own ideal holiday to the Mekong area in Vietnam and Cambodia. If you'd like to see similar trips, take a look at our Family Holiday collection, as well as our favourite Multi-Country itineraries. This offer cannot be applied retrospectively to bookings already held as options or confirmed with Pandaw. Please e-mail or call us for further details.
