Years in Asia
Asia by river is a revelation. The pace is slower, the perspective is different, and the cultural immersion is deeper than almost any other form of travel. From the floating markets of the Mekong Delta to the temple-lined banks of the Irrawaddy, these journeys offer an intimacy and authenticity that larger group experiences simply cannot replicate.
We partner with AmaWaterways to create Asian river cruise experiences that honor both the culture of each destination and your comfort as a traveler. Their newer ships on the Mekong combine contemporary refinement with local design influences, creating an onboard experience that feels both refined and connected to the landscape.
Whether you are exploring Vietnam and Cambodia on the Mekong or discovering the temples and traditions of Myanmar on the Irrawaddy, we handle every detail. From pre-cruise hotel stays to visa arrangements to curated shore excursions, your only responsibility is to be present and enjoy the journey.

The experience
Mekong River
A Mekong cruise connects Vietnam and Cambodia through floating markets, ancient temples, and rural villages that have changed little over centuries. The highlight is often a visit to the Angkor Wat temple complex in Siem Reap.
Cultural Depth
Every stop on an Asian river cruise is an opportunity for genuine cultural engagement. From Buddhist monastery visits to traditional craft workshops, these experiences create lasting connections.
Pre- and Post-Cruise Extensions
We design land extensions that complement your river cruise, adding depth with stays in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap, or Yangon.
Culinary Discovery
Asian river cruises are a culinary journey as much as a cultural one. Onboard cooking classes and shore-side food experiences introduce you to regional flavors and traditions.
Rivers we specialize in
Mekong
The Mekong flows through the heart of Southeast Asia, connecting Vietnam and Cambodia. A cruise on this river reveals floating markets, French colonial architecture, ancient temples, and the daily rhythms of riverside life.
Irrawaddy
Myanmar's Irrawaddy River offers one of Asia's most visually stunning river journeys. Pagoda-studded landscapes, traditional fishing villages, and the ancient city of Bagan create an experience that feels timeless.

Asian River Cruises questions
The Mekong (Vietnam and Cambodia) is the most accessible Asian river cruise and pairs beautifully with extensions in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, or Siem Reap. The Irrawaddy in Myanmar offers a more remote, culturally immersive experience for travelers seeking quiet discovery.
Most Asian river cruise destinations require a visa. We coordinate visa requirements as part of your itinerary planning and provide step-by-step guidance for each country on your route.
The dry season from October through March offers the most comfortable weather and reliable river conditions. We help you balance weather, water levels, and local cultural events when selecting departure dates.
Yes. The cities and cultural sites near the rivers (Angkor Wat, Hanoi, Bagan, Mandalay) deserve more than a quick stop. We design pre- and post-cruise extensions that bring depth to the overall journey.
It can be, but it works best for travelers who are comfortable with longer flights, varied cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences. We help first-time Asian river cruisers prepare for the rhythm and pace of the region.
