The brown waters of the river contrast with the vivid greenery of the countryside and the bustle of life. Travelling through six different Asian countries before it reaches the vast delta of Vietnam and the South China Sea, its waters attract river vessels of all sizes, from rowing boats and simple sampans to traditional long-tail boats and commercial barges.<\/p>\n<p>There is no better way to discover the richness of the people who call the Mekong home than to take to the water. Our vessels, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/pandaw-river-cruise-mekong-river\/\">RV Indochina Pandaw<\/a>, <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/pandaw-river-cruise-mekong-river\/\">RV Bassac Pandaw<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/pandaw-river-cruise-mekong-river\/\">RV Laos Pandaw<\/a><\/strong> are hand-finished in brass and teak by craftsmen, traditionally-styled with a colonial era charm that reflects the original 1930\u2019s design. Cruising between Vietnam\u2019s Mekong Delta and Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, over three nights and four days, discover the wonders of one of Asia\u2019s mightiest rivers for yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>Cruising Vietnam&#8217;s Ha Long and Lan Ha Bays<\/h3>\n<p>A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, both Ha Long Bay and Lan Ha Bay have been shaped by nature for centuries.<\/p>\n<p>A must for any tour of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/vietnam-cambodia-tours\/\">Vietnam<\/a><\/strong>, one of the best ways to experience this wondrous phenomenon is on an overnight cruise. There is something quite magical about watching the sun set in the bay, or waking up to the quiet tranquillity, surrounded by the impressive karsts strutting out of the emerald green waters.<\/p>\n<p>When travelling with Distant Journeys on our tours of Vietnam, you will enjoy either an all-inclusive overnight cruise on board <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/la-regina-legend-lan-ha-bay-vietnam\/\">La Regina Legend<\/a><\/strong>, or a two-night all-inclusive cruise tour on board the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.distantjourneys.co.uk\/au-co-cruise-halong-bay-vietnam\/\">Au Co<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Explore our collection of Cruise Tours below;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cruise tours offer a serene and intimate way to explore picturesque landscapes, historic cities, and charming villages as they meander along scenic waterways.
