Read the full story on SmarterTravel: https://www.smartertravel.com/southeast-asia-river-cruise/ Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the center of modern Vietnam. But to discover the heart of Southeast Asia, head to the city's waterfront and board a river cruise. The Avalon Saigon is a small ship with just 18 cabins. It's the only cruise ship to sail all the way from Saigon to Siem Reap. The Mekong River journey winds through Vietnam and Cambodia, moving through the rhythms of everyday river life. Stops are off the beaten path. Craftspeople and locals share their stories and the ship isn't the only way to explore. Along the way you'll pass through history and into the future.
