SYDNEY – PANDAW River Cruises that operates replicas of 19th century riverboats on the rivers of South East Asia, is offering two free 5-star hotel nights in Ho Chi Minh City as part of its 8-day Mekong Expedition Cruises in Vietnam and Cambodia in January and February next year.
The boutique 32-cabin Mekong Pandaw and 38-cabin Tonle Pandaw operate from Ho Chi Minh City through Vietnam and Cambodia to Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
Highlights along the way include the Vietnam Delta region, back-water village areas that can only be reached by the shallow-draught Pandaws and local “country boats”, a Cambodian orphanage funded by voluntary donations from Pandaw’s guests, over-water villages, wetlands, the 60k wide Tonle Lake and the temple complexes of Angkor Wat.
The two nights given free as part of these package in January and February 2010 are at the 5-star Sofitel Plaza in Ho Chi Minh City, and would normally be valued at $248 per person.
