Hottest Cruise Destinations for 2019
The Mekong
More cruise lines than ever are sailing the Mekong, which makes it a great time to experience Vietnam, from the chaotic capital of Hanoi to dreamy Halong Bay. Most sailings on this itinerary also call on Cambodia, so you get a few shades of Southeast Asia in one trip. Avalon Waterways debuted Avalon Saigon in late 2018. The ship sails from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Reap. Emerald Waterway's Emerald Harmony launches on the river in 2019. The Upper Mekong, which runs from Laos and Myanmar (Burma) to China, also continues to increase in popularity with river cruisers. Pandaw remains the only line that sail this stretch. The entirety of Southeast Asia has been named Destination of the Year by Conde Nast Traveler, and for good reason: The whole region is experiencing a surge in tourism due to relatively low pricing and abundant culture.
