Nine-night Mekong River Cruises
South East Asia’s Green Season, which takes place from July through to October, is the perfect time to experience authentic Cambodia and Vietnam without the bustling crowds.
Following feedback from our previous guests who have told us they’d love more time to relax and make the most of the world-class facilities on board in between explorations, we have introduced a longer nine-night cruise option during the Green Season, to offer a combination of slow and active days, and the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
Your nine-night Mekong river cruise during the Green Season is complemented by a comprehensive range of fully inclusive tours, with handcrafted itineraries that immerse you deep into the heart of the destination. Stay in world-class hotels and enjoy unforgettable experiences and dining, and create your stories for life.
For the 2025 Green Season, you can save up to 30%*, with Flight Credit Included^.
