Ha Long Bay (2)By Cruise & Land
I do recommend adding pre & post and segments to a cruise for a fuller, richer experience. On the Mekong River cruise, your options would include Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Siem Reap & Ho Chi Minh City as intriguing land extensions.

Portraits of Paradise Jul 08

Portraits of Paradise
River cruises in SE Asia offer the same benefits as in Europe but with a very different landscape: intimate, immersive, all-inclusive. Does a more exotic destination appeal to you?

Asian Design
Note that La Marguerite still offers the very-popular balcony staterooms but it has a slightly different design than the European river vessels. What do you notice?

LaMarguerite

Comfort & Elegance
Both La Marguerite & her sister ship AmaLotus were built specifically for cruising on the Mekong River. I’m not sure I’d ever want to leave my stateroom. Would you?

A Little Pampering
After a full day of local sightseeing, doesn’t a relaxing massage sound simply wonderful?
