There are lots to choose from, including Denali National Park, Fairbanks and much more.” Recommended by Debra Maher, Counsellor 1942 Regent Street South, Sudbury ON 705-522-3011, dmaher@maritimetravel.ca

For Your Bucket List –
Vietnam, Cambodia & the Riches of the Mekong with AMAWaterways
T
he stunning sight of saffronrobed monks, the fragrant scent of jasmine rice and pungent ginger, a breathtaking glimpse of a floating market … the timeless and unique cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia are united by a single river – the mighty Mekong. A river cruise through this region of Southeast Asia is truly a feast for the senses. Just ask some of our counsellors who have experienced this captivating area.
We Recommend: Unlike traditional river cruises that sail past European capitals, the route through Vietnam and Cambodia offers stunning contrasts of ancient landscapes, bustling towns and rural river villages. Experience it for yourself on a 7-night exotic Mekong cruise with AMAWaterways. Embark in Prek Kdam, Cambodia. Visit rural villages, historic pagodas, floating markets and a Buddhist monastery along the way. Overnight in Phnom Phen, capital of Cambodia. Conclude
your cruise in My Tho Port, outside of Ho Chi Minh City.
