Seven night Mekong adventure<\/b><\/p>\n

Steaming down the Mekong through Cambodia and Vietnam and a whole new world awaits.\u00a0 Even for those who have travelled Vietnam previously, there’s so much more to discover.\u00a0 It’s almost time that I revisited south east Asia and arguably there could be no better way of ‘doing’ a return than\u00a0 by joining the group on a seven-nights cruise\u00a0 aboard the replica colonial steamer Indochina Pandaw.\u00a0 On March 6 2011 she sails Angkor to Saigon. Pay from $5999 for the first passenger and a low $1399, twin share,\u00a0 for the second passenger, with inclusions of daily breakfasts, select lunches and dinners, daily shore excursions and more.\u00a0 Visit the floating markets,\u00a0 the French colonial buildings from another era,\u00a0 museums highlighting Khmer culture, temples and even a silk-weaving village.\u00a0 A word of advice!\u00a0 This is one of those great tours which do not disappoint when it comes to inclusions.\u00a0\u00a0 Cruisco’s cruise-specialist travel agencies can help.\u00a0\u00a0 For the good news go visit www.cruising.com.au<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n
