PANDAW CRUISE BETWEEN SAIGON AND PHNOM PENH PANDAW CRUISE BETWEEN SAIGON AND PHNOM PENH
Tour Code: OV-PAN04
Saigon - Cai Be - Sa Dec - Chau Doc - Phnom Penh    Journey Map
There can be no tapestry of river life as fascinating and varied as the River Mekong. Indeed there can be no more striking a cultural contrast as that between the bustling Vietnam delta and the tranquility of Cambodia. We pass from the vibrant French colonial port of Saigon, through the vast delta so rich in human life and endeavour, to travel along the main channel into the rich countryside of Cambodia. With a full day in charming Phnom Penh we then explore remoter waterways as we progress to the great monuments of Angkor.
In 2003, RV Mekong Pandaw were the first ship to attempt this extraordinary journey, surmounting complex bureaucratic and navigational obstacles. We now have five ships plying this amazing waterway.
