Tailor Made Travel: South East Asia

SAILING DOWN THE MEKONG

(with the RV Mekong vessel)

The Mekong flows from South-West China through all the mainland South-East Asian countries - China, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. It connects not just countries and commerce but also diverse cultures and history. A river journey on the Mekong through Vietnam and Cambodia can offer greater insights and experiences than any other way of exploring two very different countries.

The RV Mekong offers a way of travelling in great comfort to places unreachable by motor car. On such an 'expedition ship' it is truly possible to truly explore the vast but little known region between the ancient Khmer city of Angkor and the elegant former French  colonial city of Saigon, now called Ho Chi Min City.

It is a fascinating area to explore with whole towns floating on rafts and rich in river life and activity. Lush tropical plantations and gardens extend off endless channels, as there are over 5000km of waterways in the Mekong Delta.
