On this Asia cruise we sailed the Sea of Japan and the Yellow and South China Seas, winding our way around islands and down a coastline that has enticed explorers, adventurers, conquerors and kings for centuries.

The Best Time to Take a Cruise on the Mekong River

The Mekong River is a year-round travel destination but depending on when you go, you?ll have a different experience. The best time to take a cruise down the Mekong is during the dry season, between November and April. Though November through January is the ideal time because the usual temperature won?t be too high and the wet season has already passed.

We experienced the authentic facets and features of Southeast Asia: the bustling city life and lights of Hong Kong, the never ending traffic of motor bikes, the serene, peaceful sights of rice fields and cattle of Hanoi, and the steaming curries of Cambodian …

Welcome to Angkor Wat!

Cambodia & Thailand

After agreeing to the four-day tour, we learned this city has so much more to offer than just this incredible UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Returning For Another Asia Adventure!

I’ve mentioned in previous travel stories about taking along the family. My very first time abroad I spent the first two weeks with my sister and mother. Having never been abroad before, my eyes were opened next to theirs to the excitement and breath of fresh air SE Asia provides. I leaned heavily on their excitement too. Since that trip, …

It took a little doing but we managed to squeeze in a side trip to Siem Reap at the end of our trip. Angkor Wat gets all the love, but the temple complexes in this region are vast and varied.

Of course Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom are the most well-known. They've also been the best excavated and maintained, so, despite thousands of tourists …

Cambodia

When our group arrived to Siem Reap, Cambodia, we were greeted with one of the most beautiful airports I had ever seen — it looked like it had been recently built, with shiny spotless floors, lots of glass, and uniquely Cambodian touches inside. Staff from the hostel we had booked were waiting outside the airport for us with tuk-tuks; we …

The Temples of Cambodia

The temple ruins of Siem Reap rise from the jungles of Cambodia like a gift from the past — a gift for all the wide-eyed visitors, but also for the local people. For a country that has seen three decades of war, genocide and poverty, the wonders of Angkor bestow strong cultural pride and a new economy of tourism.

Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
