“…we have just returned from South East Asia – the entire trip was so wonderful and the staff, itinerary and professionalism of RV Amalotus Crusie was excellent. Our guides were super friendly and helpful, very knowledgeable on each new destination and always making us feel comfortable and at home. We were amazed at the high standard (and low price) of the accommodation, Viet Prestige Travel found us the best boutique cruise in Mekong Delta 8 days from Sai Gon to Siem Reap at a fraction of what our initial “budget” was planned to be. Highly recommend Viet Prestige travel, we will be back with you on the future…..”
