    A great time! Informed guides, an incredibly friendly & supportive staff, luxurious accomodations & a wonderful itinerary. You'll see a side of Vietnam & Cambodian many travellers don't. Lotus Cruises is great.

    Fantastic cruise up the Mekong. Made all the more special by such wonderful and diligent staff. Plenty of great excursions to surrounding islands. The guides were enthusiastic and informative. Even the 'sailing day' was packed with optional activities. We also loved our room and sitting on the balcony watching the countryside go by. Lotus Cruises went above and beyond with the cruise and it far exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

    Staff excellent. Cabin lovely but situated back of boat and engine noise so loud prevented sleep. Other passengers were warned if this and given a reduced rate. Food and service excellent. Mooring at Phnom Penh for three nights with no view but underside of dock made balcony unusable for almost half of cruise. €1000 refund from Lotus accepted. Tourradar attempt to claim 20% of that disgraceful.
