Just returned from Singapore to Beijing on Oceania ....booked tour for 4 people, an amazing tour with Xuan....cannot say enough good things about the 2 days with Xuan, first day Mekong Delta, day 2, Ho Chi Minh City.

Xuan was waiting for us at the port with a lovely air conditioned van and driver. Xuan was very personable, right away I knew it was going to be two great days of touring. Xuan took us to areas that the rest of the tour buses did not go, which is huge, got to see locals in their daily lives.

Xuan is very knowledgeable of the history, culture, was able to answer all our questions. We all felt like we were being taken around by a friend not a tour guide. Xuan took lots of pictures for me with my iPad, took the pressure off of me, could just enjoy my time touring. Xuan made the tour so exciting using different forms of transportation, never a dull moment.

All in all they were the best 2 days of touring on our entire trip. It is so worth it to get away from the big bus tours to book with Xuan, you will not regret it, certainly was a highlight for the 4 of us. We have many great memories I will not forget.

We had our first cruise on the Countess in November 1981 on our honeymoon. We ere booked on the Princess; but it got commandeered to take troops to the Falklands.

Great time .... Met our lifetime friends ... the only other Canadians on the ship, who were also honeymooning ... we see them every year on our anniversary ; and cruised with them, on Oceania (Mediterranean and Australis/New Zealand) for our 25th and 30th.

On the Countess we ate with a fixed group each night. The ship's doctor sat with us. He was quote a character. He struck up an immediate friendship with a bride, whose husband had a medical issue and was taken off the ship mid-cruise
