Tour Program:
Day 1: Saigon – Cai Be
“The
Sea of Mangroves”
Bid farewell to the hustle and bustle of Saigon
while settling into your cabin. The ship will begin by meandering along
busy ports and waterways. Soon after, the change is abrupt and you’ll
find yourself in the UNESCO listed Mangrove Biosphere Reserve of Can Gio
which had been destroyed during the Vietnam War by toxic chemicals.
Amazingly, the 75 hectares of forest has come back to life through a
reforestation.
Enjoy a cocktail reception at the Funnel Bar and
Lounge followed by a Welcome Dinner on the Sun Deck. Drop anchor just
outside of Cai Be for the night.
Day 2: Cai Be – Chau Doc
“Vietnamese
inventiveness”
Today’s tour starts with the visit of Cai Be’s
colorful floating market. Cruise among local sampans coming from all
provinces of the delta full of fruits and vegetables. Proceed to Dong
Hoa Hiep island located between Vinh Long and Cai Be. During a 40 minute
cruise, discover beautiful landscapes along the river and observe the
typical Mekong Delta rural life. These evergreen islands among the
Mekong River still remain unknown to many people.
Back on the
sampans, we will lead to you to observe the activity of the biggest rice
stock market in Cai Be. Further stops will allow you to see traditional
brick and tile factories and how locals use palm leaves for houses.
Cruise 20 minutes further to Phu An hamlet passing by Cai Be’s beautiful
cathedral. Visit some interesting home factories to see how rice paste,
rice cookies and coco candies, are made, along with the longan fruit
drying process.
Lunch will await you at Le Longanier, a superb
Indochinese villa located in a lush tropical garden by the river,
surrounded by fruit orchards. After lunch, group 1 takes a stroll along
the canals to experience the local environment first hand while group 2
explores the edges of the canals on bicycle. After touring the canals,
head to the An Kiet ancient house to have tea with the decendants of the
former imperial residents. Board The Jayavarman for a relaxing evening
cruise towards Chau Doc. Moor midstream overnight.
Day 3:
Chau Doc- border crossing
Taste of aqua cultural life”
Welcome
to the circus of fish. The early birds will be treated to Thai Chi
lessons on the Sun Deck. Brace yourself for a boat excursion to the
exciting floating villages and catfish farms witnessing masses of bassa
fish being fed, hand in hand with a shore excursion to the village of
the local Muslim Cham community.
Take a ride through this fascinating
town of rich French colonial architecture and see its bustling market
flooded with tropical fruits in full display by women in cone shaped
palm leaf hats. Observe beautiful textiles being woven on old wooden
looms; a tradition that has been passed from generation to generation.
By
mid-afternoon, The Jayavarman casts off for the border towards Phnom
Penh.
Day 4:Phnom Penh
“Pearl of the East”
Off we go
early in the morning to witness a truly indescribable scene while
approaching Phnom Penh’s river promenade. Sadly, after breakfast, it is
time to disembark the cruise and transfer to the hotel at 10:00AM
