Journey into the heart of Southeast Asia with Webb Tours on our Mekong River cruise, where ancient traditions meet breathtaking landscapes. We will sail on the luxurious Emerald Harmony. The Mekong River, flowing through diverse countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos, offers an unparalleled opportunity to explore the rich tapestry of cultures, histories, and natural beauty of this vibrant region. From the floating markets of the Mekong Delta to the majestic Angkor Wat and the tranquil villages along the riverbanks, each day presents a new adventure and insight into the lives of the local people.
BUT TO BE INCLUDED, YOU HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY! Cruising the rivers of Asia is very popular and for good reason. Also, riverboats are of course much smaller than cruise ships, welcoming several hundred guests instead of several thousand. And some of the most intriguing places in Asia happen to be on the rivers. For all of these reasons, space is carefully monitored and often sold out 9 months before departure.
So COME ABOARD. We are holding guaranteed space with locked in pricing for our group until November 15, 2026. After that date, if there are unsold cabins, the price will increase. So read on. We think you’ll like what you see. We look forward to hosting your journey along the serene Danube River.
Remember, if you register by November 15, 2026, AIRFARE IS INCLUDED in the price from your home city. After that date, airfare will need to be purchased separately.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The air-included pricing shown below assumes that you depart the USA on August 26 and return on October 13, and that we obtain the international airline tickets for you. That is the case whether you are flying out of Salt Lake or any other city in the continental United States. If you choose to travel on different dates or obtain your OWN aifare (for whatever reason), we will deduct $1,000 from the above, per person prices. If you do your own air, you will be responsible for transportation to and from the ship. Transfers are available for an extra charge if you are doing your own air. If you do air with us, the transfers are included. For a trip of this nature, we HIGHLY recommend that you fly with our schedules.
