Travel Tips for Asian Rivers

A cruise along one of the rivers in Asia is a must if you want to explore the authentic taste of this spectacular, unique and colourful part of the world. Sailing deep within the region means discovering its best hidden secrets, seeing the real traditions, meeting the ordinary people and experiencing the culture from within.

These are just some of the beautiful countries you can explore on a river cruise through Asia:

Asian River Cruise Lines

Asian Rivers attract some of the most famous and luxurious cruise lines in the world. The ships are quite small, meaning you will have an intimate cruise holiday with top-notch personalized service and, most importantly, stunning views to wake up and go to bed to.

  • Viking River Cruises – one of the biggest river cruise lines in Europe with a couple of ships dedicated to sailing the Mekong and Yangtze Rivers. Viking is famous for having a lot of inclusions.
  • Scenic – an all-inclusive luxury river cruise line that ventures deep into the heart of Asia, exploring the biggest highlights of the Mekong and the Irrawaddy.
  • Avalon Waterways – a traditional European river cruise line with a long-standing history of relaxed luxury. Two of Avalon Waterways’ dedicated ships will take you on a journey of a lifetime along the Irrawaddy, the Mekong and the Yangtze.

Most Popular Routes

The Mekong River is, traditionally, the most popular with the cruise lines and the cruisers. It flows along some extraordinary places that are high on people’s bucket lists.

  • The Angkor Temples
  • Halong Bay
  • Phnom Penh
  • Ho Chi Minh City
  • Tonle Sap Lake

The Best Time to Visit

Asia in general and Southeast Asia in particular is known for its hot and humid climate.

If you don’t want to be stuck inside your air conditioned cabin all day and would rather explore the beautiful sights of Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar, book your cruise for the months of November to February when its:

  • Dry
  • Cool

China’s Yangtze River is most comfortable to cruise in the months of:

  • April
  • May
  • September
  • October

These are considered to be the high season in the region and is characterized by higher prices. However, the cool comfortable weather makes a big difference to a cruise holiday.
