    Wonderful ship and staff. Excellent ground accommodations in Siam Reap and Hi Chi Min City. Highly recommend the additional time in Halong Bay. The tour provided wonderful insights into Vietnam and Cambodia. The tour guides were very helpful but the quality of the 4 guides were not consistent.

    It would have nice if our first tour guide had our information/documents regarding our trip!! Like the hotels etc. We had to ask several times. Since we were last minutes booking. We also asked for twin beds and took a few times before it was corrected. The Hotel in Seim Reap was the best hotel on this trip. Overall it was a great experience. Great tour guides.
