White on a captivating journey through the rich history and vibrant culture of tropical Indochina with our luxurious tour of Vietnam and Cambodia along the majestic Mekong River.

Her ultra-shallow draft allows access to the remote corners of the river\, offering a unique perspective. Cruise for seven nights from Ho Chi Minh City to Siem Reap\, immersing yourself in the beauty of Buddhist and Hindu temples\, vibrant floating markets\, and everyday life along the Mekong River. AIA lecturer Joyce White\, who has decades of experience in Southeast Asian archaeology\, will be joined onboard by Grace Gary\, an architectural historian aboard with National Trust\, and together they will provide a series of enriching presentations and discussions. Concluding the cruise\, spend three nights in Siem Reap\, where you can immerse yourself in the world-famous Khmer temples of Angkor\, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Marvel at the remains of different capitals of the Khmer Empire\, including the iconic Angkor Wat and the Bayon Temple at Angkor Thom.
