Discover Vietnam and Cambodia

We travelled with APT Travelmarval (4th time) on the river ship the Mekong Apsara , it was amazing the ship not like the European ones but in keeping with the surroundings every cabin had a balcony. The staff couldn’t do enough for us friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. The food was amazing with local dishes and there was never a time when we couldn’t find something to enjoy. One day the chefs prepared a fruit tasting table for us I can honestly say I had never heard of half of them, the fresh mango was my favourite tasting nothing like the mangoes we can buy in England. We had lovely dancing demonstrations in Cambodia the “ Apsara “ we started off in Siem Reap in Cambodia sailing down the Mekong over the Vietnamese border and continuing to Ho Chi Min City staying in a hotel for 2 nights before flying home. Amazing experiences along the way visiting villages, schools, temples, palaces tasting local cuisines although I did give the deep fried tarantulas and crunchy crickets a miss. All in all it was a trip of a life time sailing along the Mekong enjoying the luxury of our river ship, we can highly recommend this trip and APT Travel Marvel company , looking forward to choosing where to go next year.

very good

Stylish ship with limited facilities. Friendly, helpful and pleasant crew. Excellent Cruise Director. Meals for Vegans, notified to Company at the time of booking, were really poor and at times insulting. Picking bacon out of a pasta dish is unacceptable to a Vegan. Main concern was around the lack of masks required on all excursions by coach despite being required onboard A lot of quarantining onboard due to Covid.
