Cruising the magical Mekong Delta
| This Article was created in partnership with Wendy Wu Tours |
Take to the water world of the mighty Mekong Delta, discover the vibrancy of Southern Vietnam and bask in the magic of Cambodia on this 13-day tour.
Wendy Wu Tours’ new luxe river vessel, the Victoria Mekong, is your four-star home for four nights on the brand new A Mekong Experience tour. Meet in exotic Saigon before criss-crossing the lazy Mekong Delta – a maze of rivers, canals and streams, home to floating markets, Khmer pagodas and rice-paddy villages – then arriving in Cambodia to explore the rich history of the capital and the abode of ancient gods at the Temples of Angkor.
Saigon
Immerse yourself in this fast-paced metropolis. From the glitzy rooftop bars to the sobering Cu Chi Tunnels, Saigon is rapid-fire Vietnam at its most magnetic.
Wander through incense-infused temples in Saigon.
Phnom Penh
Let Cambodia’s capital cast its spell, from the awe-inspiring glamour of the Silver Pagoda to the stark reality of the Tuol Sleng genocide museum and the sombre killing fields. A city risen from the ashes, Phnom Penh’s plush riverside setting, bustling bars and cosmopolitan cafes only add to its undeniable appeal.
Siem Reap
Unrivalled in size and grandeur in Southeast Asia, the temples of Angkor will astound you. Stretching across some 400 square kilometres, it’s where Cambodian god-kings each endeavoured to outdo their ancestors, resulting in what is believed to be the world’s largest religious building, Angkor Wat.
