The Mekong River is one of the truly grand natural features of southeast Asia, a waterway that connects cities, countries, and cultures, and thousands of years ago made civilization possible along its banks. The River starts in Tibet, runs through China, then functions as the Laos-Thailand border, before passing through Cambodia, then Vietnam, before finally emptying into the sea.
A tour along the Mekong is a great way to see many vibrant cultures, which have existed for thousands of years, as well as a wide variety of nature scenes – for the Mekong is one of the most biodiverse areas of the entire world. Avalon Waterways offers cruises along the Mekong, learn more about these cruises and what you can expect to see.
