Mekong River cruise 2025 - Sept 23 to Oct 2, 2025

Nordic and Arctic to come summer 2026

I have zeroed in on a great price for a new destination for 2025. it is traveling on Emerald River Cruises from Ho-Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh Sept 23, 2025 and return on Oct 2, 2025, 10 days, 9 nights. This is a part of the world many have not visited and it still has some very rustic country side and interesting history. We will add on some days and go to Laos or Thailand while in that part of the world as well. High points on Emerald are: tours are included in every port, Tips, taxes included, beer and wine with lunch and dinner, wifi and english speaking staff. The boats are small so you will never feel like you are on a floating city. They have a pool and sun deck so nice to relax while cruising.
Pricing: based on double

Cat D - Window - $3695 pp or $2695 pp if pay in full by EO Aug 2024 or if past guest, $3495 or $2495pp

Cat B - Balcony - $4245 pp or $3245 pp if pay in full by EO Aug 2024 or if past guest, $4045 or $3045pp (the pay in full is a great deal to save an additional $1000 pp)

If interested let me know the cabin you are interested messenger me and I will get it booked.
