An Asia River Cruise is a great way to experience Southeast Asia or India and offers a relaxing and convenient way to get under the skin of some superb travel destinations.

By far the most popular river cruising destination in Asia is the Mekong River. Many cruises depart in Saigon (Vietnam) or Siem Reap (Cambodia), sailing for 7 nights between the two destinations. Choose from boutique river cruises such as Pandaw or Heritage Lines to more European style river cruising style on APT, Uniworld, Emerald, AMA Waterways or Scenic. Aqua Cruises Mekong Cruise is the most luxurious cruise on the Mekong River.

In the north of Vietnam, Pandaw Cruises offer a popular Red River and Halong Bay Cruise and an exceptional Laos Mekong Cruise.

River cruising in India is a great option along the Lower and Upper Ganges as well as the Brahmaputra. Pandaw and Assam Bengal Navigation are our preferred partners.

We will tailor make your Asia River Cruise with flights and pre- and post-cruise stays and touring to suit your interests.
