$3799—Save 42% on all-inc Mekong cruise w/free air & stays

This Vietnam and Cambodia journey has become a Travelzoo member favourite. Now it’s back at our lowest price yet—exclusively for Travelzoo members, it’s just $3799 per person. The 12-night fly-cruise-stay combines five-star stays in Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap with seven all-inclusive nights aboard the 34-suite Mekong Navigator. Ho Chi Minh City starts at full volume, before the river changes the pace completely. Around Cái Bè, traditional sampans carry you into smaller waterways. An overnight in Phnom Penh gives you time to step ashore and explore. The journey finishes with two nights in Siem Reap, where the ancient Khmer world of Angkor is within easy reach. After days watching everyday life unfold along the Mekong, it feels like a fitting finale. Flights and transfers are included too, leaving you free to settle into the slower rhythm that makes this journey so appealing.

The seven-night cruise alone costs $3899 per person. With an exclusive $500 off Imagine Cruising's usual price, this entire holiday is just $3799. That means you're getting the flights, five-star stays and transfers included for less than the cruise itself. Our research found recreating the full package would cost up to $6505 per person. That's a saving of $2706, or 42%.
