AmaWaterways Mekong River Cruise
David Brams and Diane Blair Hickey (see bios here...) took a group on an AmaWaterways river cruise down the Mekong to Vietnam and Cambodia in March 2019. The consensus was it was one of the most extraordinary trips we had ever been on. I have to say it far exceeded any expectations that I had - how often can you say that? It was an experience so amazing that is hard to put into words. It's uniqueness lies in the destination and in how Ama provides the experience: luxury combined with unique experiences such as riding in an ox cart and authentic exchanges with local people.
Avalon Waterways - Amazon River Cruises
