Scenic has released its 2018/19 Southeast Asia river cruising with itineraries cruising down the waterways of the Mekong and Irrawaddy rivers.

Across all of the cruise lines six Southeast Asian itineraries, Scenic Enrich experiences will take guests to the cultural heart of Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar.

They can enjoy a private gala dinner in an Angkor temple, receive a blessing from a monk and learn how to pray in a Buddhist pagoda or, experience a traditional lunch at the home of a local Intha family at Inle Lake.

New for 2018/19 is a 24-day cruise and tour visiting Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. As well as a new itinerary, the company has launched three extensions giving guests the opportunity to stay at the beautiful Mai Chau Eco Lodge, the mountain town of Sapa or a train ride aboard the famous Eastern & Oriental Express.

Dawn Quinn, acting national sales manager for Scenic, said: “We are delighted to launch the full brochure for 2018/19 Southeast Asia, showcasing a brand new itinerary and three new extensions in classic Scenic 5* luxury.”

“With the incredible experiences available, as well as the fantastic, extended offer of a free, one-way Business Class flight upgrade for customers, Scenic Southeast Asia river cruising will continue to be extremely popular for travel agents.”
