Day 1 : Saigon - My Tho to Cai Bei (L,D)
Early morning registration in Saigon and transfer to the Delta
Port of My Tho by for check in followed by port and immigration
formalities. My Tho is the hub of the Delta, but not of great
cultural interest. In the afternoon we moor near Cai Be and make
a fascinating trip by traditional junk to explore evergreen
islands and at the former Imperial residence, the An Kiet House.
Surviving members of the Kiet family will welcome us with tea
and we can wander in the fruit orchards around the house. Cruise
through the night to Tan Chau.
Day 2 : Chau Doc to Phnom Penh (B,L,D)
From the main Mekong channel at Tan Chau we travel down the
canals and backwaters. At Chau Doc we transfer to small boats to
visit a Cham tribal village. We also visit a cat fish farm. We
take a trishaw ride round this fascinating town of fine
French-colonial buildings and see its bustling market. Return to
the ship by boat for lunch and cast off for the Cambodian border
for the usual formalities, which in this part of the world, take
time. Night cruise up the broad Mekong channel.
Day 3 : Phnom Penh (B)
Disembark in Phnom Penh city centre port just after breakfast.
