Available Exclusively with Fox World TravelAn intimate experience of two worlds along one river Uniworld offers an intimate encounter inside Vietnam and Cambodia that other river cruise lines can't match. You'll never descend onto a village, market, or important cultural site as part of a massive tour group. Instead, you’ll be part of small groups, with one local guide for every twenty guests. You will meet the people and visit the places that make up these fascinating destinations. In addition, you’ll travel to floating villages and sites by way of a luxurious sampan, so you’ll have a genuine experience every step of the way. Uniworld’s commitment to intimacy extends to your shipboard experience as well. The River Orchid, Uniworld’s brand new ship and sister ship to the stunning River Saigon plying through the Mekong, boasts just 30 deluxe staterooms, and no more than 60 guests at a time. This means that you will be treated to gracious and personalized service. The staff onboard the River Orchid will be there to ensure you have everything you need—morning, noon, and night. Whether you are sitting on the spacious sun deck being served a refreshing complimentary beverage as you watch the passing scenery or you are listening to an enlightening lecture, your staff will stand ready to make your stay as special and comfortable as can be. You’ll also notice extra special Uniworld touches throughout your journey, from VIP check-in service at all onshore hotels to luxurious sampans that let you tour the river in style, to relaxing with fresh fruit and tea after your onshore excursions. There’s simply no better way to experience the magic of these destinations along the Mekong River.
