Since her maiden voyage on the Mekong River, Avalon Saigon has been praised for delivering an intimate cruise experience as part of Avalon's award-winning fleet of Suite Ships. Avalon Saigon delivers all the modern features you expect from Avalon Waterways while incorporating the unique character and charm of Southeast Asia. Avalon Saigon is designed to venture easily into areas where other cruise ships cannot, while measuring as wide and long as ships carrying twice her number of guests. Cruising uninterrupted from Ho Chi Minh City to Phnom Penh (or vice versa), Avalon Saigon eliminates hours of motorcoach travel time associated with other river cruise ship itineraries.
The Avalon Saigon Suite Ship incorporates the classic colonial charm befitting the Vietnam and Cambodia experience with the modern features you expect from Avalon. Each Panorama Suite features 245 square feet of living space with wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows to create river cruising's only Open-Air Balcony. With luxurious beds that face the window, you'll never miss a fascinating view on the Mekong. The crew embodies Avalon’s “you first" spirit from start to finish. From the reception staff and bartenders to waitstaff and room attendants, you'll experience exquisite service with a relaxed luxury that's come to encompass the Avalon difference.
