Fascinating Vietnam, Cambodia & The Mekong River Cruise Review

“I had the incredible opportunity to go on this cruise and it left me absolutely speechless. It was nothing short of extraordinary and I struggle to find any faults whatsoever. The dining experience was delightful with chefs who you can tell have a genuine love for food and it shows in every meal they make. The staff were also always kind and willing to help and my days were filled with unforgettable excursions. Already counting down the days until my next Avalon cruise!”
