Recent Asia River Cruise Reviews What our clients are saying about their river cruises and tours through Asia

Fantastic Mekong River Cruise with Scenic     , NSW, Australia, Mar 2023
I can't recommend Scenic cruises highly enough, This is the 2nd one we have now done, the first was the Amsterdam to Budapest and we have just now done the Vietnam to Cambodia trip on the Mekong. Scenic's service level and attention to detail is 2nd to none. Exceptionally well organised. All the staff are amazing - from the Butlers, Bar staff and Dining, ...read more Cruise directors and Tour guides - they are so friendly and welcoming - and within a day they know everyone's name which is incredible.

The excursions are well considered and so well organised - you get to do things you would never experience with other operators or by yourself - such as visiting a local school in a remote village and sit in on an English class or visiting a farm on the Mekong and having traditional coffee with the farmer - so very special.

The Scenic Enrich events are also amazing - such as an incredible farewell candlelit gala dinner in a remote Temple, with traditional dancers, authentic cuisine and free flowing drinks ! Global Journeys were fabulous to deal with - a welcome and refreshing change.
A wonderful insight to the history of Vietnam and Cambodia   , VIC, Australia, Dec 2022
This was our first river cruise and was a wonderful experience. Thanks to Hannah at Global Journeys and the helpful, attentive and friendly guides and crew. Oh so much better than a large cruise ship. The itinerary was varied and encompassed some truly magical spots, the varied cultures and history of the region, even if it was confronting from time ...read more to time. Top marks to Emerald!
Nice small group cruise   , QLD, Australia, Jan 2020
This cruise is really well organised and goes where a lot of the bigger cruise boats do not go. G Adventures supports small local operators for their day trips and this was evident in a number of places as other tourists were not to be seen e.g. brick making, mule ride, hand made pottery, lunch at training restaurant, etc. Tour Leader (or Chief Experience ...read more Officer, CEO, as they are officially called) was very helpful and efficient especially when I had an unexpected trip to hospital. The cabins are a reasonable size for a small boat and there is a great sun deck upstairs which could be used anytime. Staff were helpful and most spoke enough English to be understood. Food was simple, varied and plentiful. Dinner was 4 course and special diets catered for, breakfast was a hot and cold buffet with your choice of cooked eggs, so plenty of options. Omelettes were best I’ve had. Would certainly travel with them again.
Mekong River Cruise with Travelmarvel   , QLD, Australia, Jan 2020
The whole trip was a very enjoyable experience - there is no better way to explore Cambodia and Vietnam than by river boat! Global Journeys made the whole booking process simple and stress free - all information was readily available and any questions I had were answered promptly and professionally by Hannah. I will definitely book future trips through ...read more Global Journeys.

Travelmarvel exceeded my expectations. The pre and post accommodation was of a high standard and the cruise itself outstanding. The cabins on La Marguerite were larger than expected and the included excursions extensive. The highlight of the trip was the amazing tour director, guides and crew - all locals with their own stories to tell.

We had many opportunities to visit local communities and explore places outside the normal tourist sites. The tour group (79 people, mainly from Australia and Britain) was divided into three smaller groups for each excursion which made disembarking and embarking the river boat a very organised process. We look forward to future trips with Travelmarvel.
