Kratie Expedition (7 Nights)
The full run of the new Upper Mekong program, sailed between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City with the deep push north to Kratie. Naturalist-led skiffs hold quietly on the Kampi dolphin pools, cycling crosses Koh Trong’s pomelo orchards and stilt-house villages, and the route calls at the 12th-century Angkorian temple of Nokor Bachey in Kampong Cham before turning south through the delta.
