$6499—Save $4965 on all-inc Mekong w/free air, tours & stays

Vietnam and Cambodia: the perfect Southeast Asia pairing. Two countries, one seamless story. Same roots, different blooms, each a chapter in your journey. This 21-night land-and-river holiday blends bustling cities, quiet villages, and the expansive Mekong. You get it all—city tours, authentic experiences, scenic cruises, iconic landmarks. Flights, transfers, boutique hotels, and meals on the cruise? All sorted. Start in Hanoi’s old-world charm and stroll Duong Lam Village’s peaceful lanes. Cruise Lan Ha Bay (calmer and less touristy than Ha Long Bay). Meander south to Hue and Hoi An for ancient stories and fresh flavours. Cook with locals, relax with a herbal foot massage, and soak up village life. In Ho Chi Minh City, wander buzzing markets, quiet temples, and Cu Chi’s tunnels. Then sail the mighty Mekong—the only way to truly experience it. Glide past floating markets and remote villages few travellers see. Relax aboard the 5-star Lotus Mekong Navigator, hosting just 68 guests, it's a small ship with big charm. End with two nights in Siem Reap, including a visit to awe-inspiring Angkor Wat.

This is the best price we've seen for this popular itinerary. The cruise alone is over $7600. At $6499, Travelzoo members save 43% vs self-booking: that's $4965 per person. Which means a free cabin upgrade, flights, 4- and 5-star hotels, tours, and transfers—all at no extra cost.
