Any comments on the Mekong River Cruises Vietnam? I'm looking underway on a 3-day cruise on the Bassac is or Cochin in February. If someone was to each cruise, would like to hear from you so I can plan accordingly.
Absolutely fantastic. After living in Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City for several months, the river cruise was fantastic, eye opening, and relaxing. The food was excellent, and much of the campaign can be seen that way. It was a much better way to see the campaign as hot crowded tour bus windows.
The food was excellent.
Regarding a lot of mosquitoes, the boats were too fast. Mosquitoes are bad in Vietnam, and I was very afraid that things would be terrible on the boat. I do not know if I am bitten at all.
February will be near the beginning of the season hot and rainy, so dress accordingly.
