River cruising is new to a lot of people but for those of you who have already had the fortune to experience river cruising around Europe or prehaps the Nile and are looking for a holiday with a complete difference stacked with culture, then look no further and cruise the Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia.
As you cruise the Mekong River, you'll visit places accessible only by water and barely touched by tourism. During shore excursions, you'll come across eye-opening sights such as floating villages - rafts of schools, markets and homes nestling together on the tides.
We offer this River Cruise through a fantastic company called APT, with over 80 years experience in creating inspiring touring holidays, it’s no surprise APT enjoy a customer satisfaction rating of 98%.
The MS La Marguerite is the ship APT based in Vietnam and Cambodia and is one of the finest ships currently cruising the Mekong. Fusing modern luxury with the elegance of the Art Nouveau period, it was launched in 2009 and is similar in style and comfort to a floating five-star hotel. Which means that you can explore the remote regions of the Mekong Delta then return to bask in the comfort of a superb ship.
APT understand that visiting a new destination is about gaining an intimate understanding of the place, its history, its people and their culture. With local guides injecting insight that only a local person could possess and who are English speaking.
They have 3 different itinerary's to choose from ranging from 21 days to 13 day durations. Please contact me for more information on this fantastic once in a lifetime experience.
