Magnificant Mekong - Viking River Cruises

Next year it is our 30th wedding anniversary, and since the kids grew up we have tried to do something for our wedding anniversary or birthdays, and in the last few days we have been talking about where we want to go next year.


So when something different and exotic comes across my desk, I add it to the maybe list and it gets chewed over at home. But this is something that really appeals and I thought I'd share it with you.


How about this excellent Mekong trip with Viking River Cruises, and it is a trip to an area that appears to be growing in popularity. OK, so if you of a certain age you will remember the news reports of the 60's and 70's and some of the horrific images that they portrayed, but now its a different place.


So go on take a look at this trip to discover stunningly scenic and culturally distinctive lands on this remarkable 17-day cruise holiday.

Encounter ancient Khmer monuments and the elegant French colonial capital of Phnom Penh in Cambodia; and in Vietnam, visit the floating markets of the Mekong delta, experience the intimate charm of Hanoi’s old city and tour dynamic Ho Chi Minh City, formerly Saigon. Here you will find gracious hosts and some of the finest cuisine in the world, while enjoying the natural beauty and rich history just beyond the banks of the magnificent Mekong.

Your holiday includes return travel to the UK, 8-days on board the RV Tonle, plus hotel stays in Hanoi, Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City, internal flights, 14 guided tours, all meals and complimentary wine with lunch and dinner.

Your ship for the trip is  RV Tonle, beautifully hand crafted in 2002, and takes just 66 guests. In addition, you can at the moment save up to £1000 per couple.


This must be a wonderful experience - should I give it a go or does any one want to give me their ideas for that something different?
