Sa Dec is a fantastic stop on any Mekong River Cruise as it is a large trading hub in Vietnam with a population of over 200,000. Due to this, you can really get a glimpse into the local's life through visiting fish and food farms, learning about how they make crafts, and by interacting with locals in fruit and fish markets. Additionally, Sa Dec has a charming bonsai garden, floating markets surrounding the town, and many adorable flower nurseries lining Sa Dec's waterways. Additionally, the Huynh Thuy Le Old House is a popular attraction in this town: this house was built in 1895 in Sino-French design style and since then was a setting for The Lover by Jean-Jacques Annaud. The Mekong River runs right along Sa Dec, making it an easy and must-see destination on any Mekong River Cruise.

We had the most incredible trip to Antarctica! Plus, we got a fantastic deal (especially considering how expensive expeditions are) and a free cabin upgrade. Prior to our trip, Michelle and Erin took great care of us and made sure we were good to go. Every element of the trip went smoothly with no surprises. Our ship, Ocean Albatross, was beautiful. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. The laundry service was cheap and fast (so there was no need to overpack). The food was great. The atmosphere was comfortable and casual (our style). And best of all, the staff and crew were so kind, accommodating and friendly. The guides and expedition leader were all amazing. We did so many shore landings and zodiac cruises, each one unique. There was no shortage of wildlife! We traveled with our 10 year-old son who had the time of his life. There were several other tweens/teens onboard. The guests were mostly a combination of families and solo travelers, mostly from the US. Overall, our trip was spectacular, a truly unforgettable trip of a lifetime!
