River cruise in Vietnam: a perfect vacation for body and mind
Susan Hudson
Willamsburg Travel
Taking a river cruise, does not necessarily mean a European destination. If you
have any adventure in your blood, perhaps
an Asian destination along the Mekong
Delta should be on your horizon.
Since this was an area that was so much
a part of our lives in the 60’s and 70’s,
this is a trip that needs to be considered.
It should be noted that over 60% of the
Vietnam population is under the age of 30.
We encountered no anti–war hangover/
hostility from anyone, anywhere on our
trip. Tourism and consequently hospitality
is what the Vietnamese are known for now.
Most Vietnam cruises actually begin inland
in the city of Hanoi with an overnight stay.
