Cruise the Mekong River into the heart of the Indochina Peninsula, starting high in the Himalayas, the Mekong River winds down through Tibet and China before defining the border of Myanmar and Laos and then flowing into Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Our Mekong cruises immerse travelers in Buddhist culture, with visits to temples and, most notably, the expansive ruins of Angkor Wat. Trekking through villages along the Mekong River can be a humbling experience that deepens your appreciation for a simple lifestyle. You'll also stop in major cosmopolitan cities like Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Cambodia's buzzing capital of Phnom Penh.
