The Mekong, new for 2011 with Viking River Cruises

When the idea of a huge ship and vast oceans of water put you off going on a cruise, then what you should do is take a different type of cruise. Viking River Cruises offers deluxe cruises on small, intimate ships, along some of the most spectacular and culture rich rivers in the world.

This is the perfect time to book Viking's brand new offering for 2011, the Mekong River. This is a 15 day river and land itinerary with options to add Thailand and/or Vietnam.

The centerpiece of the trip is an eight-day river cruise among lush Mekong River landscapes with stops in Phnom Penh and a variety of small riverside villages including Cái Bè, located in the picturesque Mekong delta.

Viking is in the process of refurbishing its existing fleet and also adding eight more ships to its fleet. With a $250 million budget you can expect the same luxury and service that has made Viking's name famous with the discerning cruise traveler.
