The ideal cruise and experience

We went on the Pandaw Mekong cruise, and it was a fantastic experience. Every day's cuisine, from breakfast to supper, was delicious. Freshly prepared smoothies in the morning were my fave. The four-course lunches were amazing. The crew on board was fantastic, and everything was done with a grin. The experience will stay with me forever, and if anyone is thinking about booking this trip, I strongly suggest it; you will not be disappointed.

The journey of a lifetime

I cannot suggest Pandaw enough. The staff were incredibly friendly and courteous; they knew our names within hours of boarding and gave everyone individual attention. When we returned from our excursions, they cleaned our shoes (even the flip-flops) and brought us moist flannels and cold drinks. The cuisine was of very good quality. The bed linens were changed every day, and the cabin was cleaned twice a day. We didn't want for anything and lived like royalty. I did not want to leave the boat.

Sailing through a fantasy on Pandaw

We went on Pandaw cruise in 1 week, the first from Saigon to Seam Reap on the Lower Mekong River. The ship's crew made the journey even more incredible. We never asked for anything because they knew what we wanted. They were most concerned about our safety during the expeditions, as I never climbed a staircase without a steadying hand on my elbow.

Pandaw Mekong River Cruise

My spouse and I just ended an 8-day vacation on the Pandaw RV Mekong. We booked with Best Price Travel online after discovering the firm through Tripadvisor recommendations. The trip was simply fantastic, and Neville and his crew were outstanding in every way. The service, food, and trips were all great. The yacht was stunning and immaculate. There were around 40 people on the ship, mostly from Europe, and everyone was a fascinating, seasoned global traveler. Everyone on the ship raved about the cuisine and service, including those who had sailed on several 5-star ships. The weather was beautiful: warm, bright, and mosquito-free. This trip was reasonably priced for what you get, and we would suggest it to anyone.
