Recent Mekong Cruise Reviews What our clients are saying about their journeys along the Mekong
The Emerald Harmony was a beautiful and comfortable ship and the food provided was beyond amazing, a great chef and his staff provided some of the most enjoyable meals I have experienced. The tours were short but interesting, taking into account the humidity still rather high in November. I had an amazing look into Vietnamese and Cambodian life and culture. The hotels in Ho chi Ming City and Siem Reap were excellent and very comfortable. I applaud Emerald for the support they give to various organisations, the dancing troupe, Satcha Cambodian handicrafts etc. I am highly recommending Emerald cruises and this tour and hopefully will be able to return to Vietnam and Cambodia in the future.
Sampan rides, tuktuk rides, rickshaws - all safely navigated.
The cultural events on board were worth attending and were given with passion by the people of the culture. Our new cruise friends were great fun but we also were able to find a quiet place if needed. The transfer and hotel service provided by Emerald made everything so easy so I really could relax for the whole journey. The cabins were all that was needed and were super clean and comfy.
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.
