- Upstream Mekong River Cruise Tour From Vietnam To Cambodia – 10 Days
Amazing Food, People, and Scenery This was my first river cruise, and it was incredible! Starting in Vietnam, we explored lively floating markets and quaint villages in the Mekong Delta. Every day brought something new: temples, farms, and even a fish farming village! The local guides were amazing, sharing stories that made each place come alive. The cruise ship itself was a highlight. The staff was so attentive, and the food—oh my goodness!—was some of the best I’ve ever had, with fresh ingredients and flavors from the region. The transition to Cambodia was exciting, and Phnom Penh offered rich cultural and historical experiences. The last leg to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat felt like a grand finale. I left the trip feeling deeply connected to the history and beauty of the Mekong.
