UNCOVER THE AGE-OLD CUSTOMS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA
Sail the Mekong River—Southeast Asia's historic lifeline—on our Magnificent Mekong cruisetour and discover silk-weaving
towns and fishing villages that still uphold centuries-old traditions. Stand before Angkor Wat, the crowning achievement of the
Khmer Empire, and wander through Ta Prohm, where jungle roots entwine the remnants of a once-vast kingdom. Explore Phnom
Penh by cyclo rickshaw to glimpse its layered past, then continue to Hanoi, where the UNESCO-listed Old Quarter preserves
ancient guild streets and market culture. In Ho Chi Minh City, encounter a seamless blend of history and modern youthful energy,
where pagodas and French colonial grandeur mingle with bustling old-world marketplaces and modern skyscrapers. For even
more historical immersion, continue your travels through Southeast Asia with our post-cruise extension in Bangkok. Spend 3
nights in Thailand's dynamic capital, where you will visit ancient palaces and temples, such as Bangkok's Grand Palace which
dates back to the late 1700s, and Wat Pho, known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha.
