Sailing through Vietnam and Cambodia on a Mekong River cruise delivers an unforgettable fusion of distinctive sights, colourful cultures, and ancient traditions.

Whether hearing historic tales in the Viet Cong’s Cu Chi Tunnels or participating in a traditional water blessing ceremony with local area monks, your Avalon Waterways cruise will show you the Southeast Asia that other travellers rarely get to see.
