The boat itself was truly exceptional, offering top-notch service that made us feel like royalty. Our guide, Homm, was truly unique and left a lasting impression on us. He provided us with a remarkable insight into Mekong life, as well as the way of life in Vietnam and Cambodia. His extensive knowledge was truly impressive.
All of the excursions were meticulously organized, and the guides were highly knowledgeable and always ready to assist. The onboard staff deserves special mention as well - words cannot express how wonderful they all were. From Julianna, who took care of us in the final days, to Nacky, who looked after us initially, they all provided exceptional service. The bar staff, dining staff, and housekeeping staff were all amazing, and although we couldn't remember all their names, we didn't want to leave anyone out!
The housekeeping staff went above and beyond, ensuring our cabin was cleaned and our clothes washed three times a day - it was truly remarkable. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fantastic time. In fact, we're already planning to book the Amazon Cruise in two years' time - we're officially hooked! Less
