Join us on an exciting journey through the majestic Buddhist and Hindu temples, lush tropical landscapes and rich culture of Vietnam and Cambodia, including a seven-day Mekong River cruise aboard the Mekong Princess. Mekong Princess Hotel has 14 spacious suites, each with panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass French doors, luxurious bedding and toiletries, allowing us to experience this mighty river from an intimate and authentic perspective. Its small draft allows access to parts of the Mekong inaccessible to larger ships.

Our exclusive Washington and Lee program begins with two nights at the luxurious Park Hyatt Hotel in bustling Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), the dynamic heart of Vietnam, before embarking for 7 nights on the Mekong Princess. The Mekong River takes us into the fascinating but rarely visited world of one of Asia’s great waterways. Admire the floating villages, whose inhabitants literally live on the water – work, shop, even attend school and church. Enjoy gliding around the early morning floating markets as they come alive, enter local homes to see how people live and work, and experience the beauty of Buddhist temples. Also, visit a family orchard, visit a noodle factory, travel through mangroves to a local coconut candy maker, and experiment with typical Vietnamese ingredients during a cooking demonstration.

After disembarking in Siem Reap, this adventure concludes with three nights at the luxurious Grand Raffles Hotel to explore in detail the legendary temples of Angkor, including Bayon Temple and Angkor Wat, considered the most important archaeological site in Southeast Asia and protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Centre.

For those wishing to delve deeper into the region, an extension is available before traveling to Hanoi and the breathtaking Halong Bay.
