7 Night Cruise sailing from Ho Chi Minh to Phnom Penh aboard Avalon Saigon.

The Avalon Saigon was specifically designed to offer an intimate experience with a maximum of 36 guests, so you can truly immerse yourself in the culture, people, and sights along the Mekong River. Time on board delivers a refreshing outdoor experience, as all suites open to the outside.
