CroisiEurope continues to consolidate its presence in Asia through its exclusive cruises on the legendary Mekong River, following a river itinerary between Vietnam and Cambodia aboard elegant boutique ships, departing from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Siem Reap, allowing you to discover the historical and spiritual heart of Southeast Asia.
This 11-day, 10-night Mekong Delta to Angkor Temples cruise, sailing down the Mekong River from vibrant Saigon to the iconic temples of Angkor, begins with visits to the former capital of southern Vietnam, including the lively Chinatown and the historic Cu Chi Tunnels. Passengers then embark on a journey through the Mekong Delta, visiting towns steeped in life and tradition such as My Tho, Vinh Long, Cai Be, and Sa Dec, where they can experience the authentic essence of rural Vietnam amidst floating markets, stilt houses, and artisan workshops.
Upon crossing into Cambodia, the ship docks in Phnom Penh, the capital, where you can explore architectural gems such as the Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda, as well as learn about recent history at the S21 Museum. The route continues to Koh Chen and Kampong Chhnang, with landscapes of rice paddies, traditional crafts, and floating villages that reflect daily life on the Mekong.
The journey culminates in Siem Reap, with a complete immersion in the legacy of the Khmer Empire: visits to Angkor Wat, Ta Prohm and Angkor Thom, plus cultural shows and walks on Tonlé Sap lake.
For those wishing to extend their stay, CroisiEurope offers two extensions that allow you to discover other great treasures of Vietnam:
- Halong Bay (4 days): After flying from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi, visit the capital and its most iconic landmarks, then embark on a cruise through Halong Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sailing among limestone islands, exploring caves, and enjoying activities like kayaking and visiting floating villages complete this magical experience.
- Full Vietnam and Halong Bay (7 days): This extension expands the tour into the heart of the country, with stops in Hue, the former imperial capital, and Hoi An, a unique architectural gem. A comprehensive trip that also culminates with a Halong Bay cruise and visits to Hanoi.
