Vietnam- First time river cruisers

My husband would like to go back to Vietnam.

We have never been on a river cruise. What river cruise line would be the best for Vietnam?

In Nov 2015 I used Vantage from Hanoi to Angkor Wat and then a week on the Mekong ending with several days in Saigon/HCMC. The trip exceeded my expectations, but virtually every Mekong vendor gets excellent reviews here on Cruise Critic (and as I'm sure you know, CCers are not shy about complaining).

 

This was my first visit to Vietnam, but I am of an age that I had many friends go to Vietnam in the late '60s and early '70s, some of who did not survive. While the US had tens of thousands killed, Vietnamese losses were in the millions. Despite that, the Vietnamese welcome Americans with genuine warmth; the Buddhist adage that hatred of someone else hurts only you seems to be in full force.

 

No matter what vendor you select, I don't think you will be sorry. Search the River Cruising board for "Vietnam", "Viet Nam" and "Mekong" and you should get comments on a number of vendors.

 

Happy Sails

Thom
