A magical cruise from the Temples of Angkor to Saigon

Magical is the best word to describe the cruise along the Mekong, which CroisiEurope has offered since 2012. From Angkor in Cambodia to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, this trip is guaranteed to impress.

The Colourful Spectacle of the Cho Gao Canal

The truly picturesque Cho Gao Canal takes us to Ho Chi Minh City. Because of their size, the RV Indochine and RV Indochine II are two of the only ships capable of navigating this canal, much to the delight of our passengers. On the Cho Gao canal travellers may enjoy some of the following sights:

• A plethora of smaller boats follow each other, overtaking, and zig-zagging in front of one another.
• On the port side, a barge heaped with sand looks like it might sink under its weight.
• On the starboard side, a large sampan with a decorated bow is illed with bunches of bananas, while behind our ship, a bulging traditional boat transports huge pyramids of rice.
• At the foot of sandy banks, children frolic in the water, shouting happy "hellos" to cruise passengers as their parents cast nets by hand, hoping to catch dinner for the evening. Here, villages of small houses on stilts line the canal.

These are the sorts of lasting memories that will mark this wonderful trip, which can be extended with 4- to 7-day trips to explore Hanoi and its imposing Ho Chi Minh mausoleum, the mysterious Halong Bay with its strangely shaped rocks and caves, and, depending on the circumstances, the ancient imperial towns of Vietnam: Hue, Da Nang, Hoi An, and My Son.
