Vietnam's agricultural prosperity is based largely on the rich alluvial deposits laid down by the Mekong River, which ends it's epic journey in the form of the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam.
The river cruise from Saigon to Phnom Penh or on to Siem Reap to visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia, is one of the great river cruises in Asia.
Several Mekong river cruise options are available, ranging from the replica colonial era steamers of Pandaw cruises, to the Jayavarman and Jahan luxury river cruisers.
In the north of Vietnam, the Red River is little explored, but Pandaw Cruises are now pioneering river cruises on Vietnam's Red River.
