sugarbird Posted March 17, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 17, 2014 My wife and I have used the Heritage Line--Siem Reap to Saigon. It was an excellent cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorex Posted March 20, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 20, 2014 We went with Ama Waterways two years ago. Amazing experience -- You can also get some feedback from the river cruise board, plenty of people there who have done this itinerary. We returned independently to Vietnam and Cambodia this year to spend additional time in Siem Reap (New Year's Eve) and Ho Chi Minh City -- and we may go back yet again. From the Ama website: "Your journey begins in Vietnam’s bustling capital, Hanoi, followed by an excursion to breathtaking Ha Long Bay for an overnight sojourn. A short flight to Siem Reap, Cambodia, brings you to the gateway of the ancient Khmer empire. Spend three days touring the temples of Angkor Archeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before embarking your Mekong cruise on Tonle Sap Lake. Visit rural villages, historic pagodas, floating markets and a Buddhist monastery along the way. Overnight in Phnom Phen, capital of Cambodia. Conclude your cruise in lively Ho Chi Minh City, where you will enjoy a two-night stay. (An optional 3-night pre-cruise stay in Siem Reap is also available in conjunction with the 7-night cruise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJcruzer Posted March 23, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) another vote for AMA waterways river cruise ..... although when we went, Viking was als just beginning cruises in the area .... since then a few other North american companies have entered the Cambodia/Vietnam market. We enjoyed the AMA experience immensely. Here is a review posted by friends with whom we were travelling: http://www.cruisecritic.com/memberreviews/memberreview.cfm?EntryID=80735 We also added the 8 day pre-cruise from Saigon to Hanoi, visiting the coastal cities, Hue, Hoi An, etc. It was exceptional.
