Overview


Two of the most beautiful, historic, and friendly places in all of Asia, dynamic Vietnam and pastoral Cambodia, are intriguing studies in contrast. Each possesses its own unique charm and social traditions, its own tragic history and complex past. Ho Chi Minh City offers a heady mixture of old and new, often surprising visitors with its charm. As the lifeblood of Southeast Asia, the Mekong teems with colorful floating villages. Phnom Penh, Cambodia's thriving capital, is fast-forwarding to the future yet retains a provincial intimacy. And colorful Siem Reap provides the gateway to the vast UNESCO-designated jungle temple complex of Angkor Wat. We proudly partner with Pack for a Purpose on this itinerary to give guests like you the opportunity to gift local communities with much-needed supplies. Visit our Donations page to learn how you can participate. *Note: Due to cultural differences and other factors, the beverage policy for our Vietnam & Cambodia program differs from our European programs. Please refer to the "What's Included" section at the bottom of this page for inclusions details.
