What travelers are saying

"Most of the people on this 17-day river cruise was quite elderly and infirm. Therefore the complimentary excursions were painfully slow walking. Local guides mostly told stories of their own upbringing and the conflicts they lived through. There was not much history on any of the excursions; and none of the buildings we saw gave us an opportunity to go inside, even the paid excursions. The accommodations were excellent, except that we paid for the best veranda but could not sit on our veranda because for the first 5 days our ship was packed tight next to another Viking ship. Food was good, except for dinners which were quite mediocre and never captured the flavor of the local foods."

What travelers are saying

"My first Avalon cruise/land tour to Vietnam/Cambodia was the best experience of my 80 plus cruises. We recently took the Avalon Egypt/Jordan cruise/land tour and it was the polar opposite. Most sites were awesome but the tour needed a guide in addition to the Egyptologist, who didn’t look out for the safety/best interests of the guests. I submitted a detailed review of Egypt and Jordan but have not yet heard back."

Southeast Asia Tour Selection Trips

  • Every major country in Southeast Asia is worthy of a visit on its own, so consider limiting your tours to one or two countries.
  • A good way to combine two countries is via a Mekong River cruise that sails through both Vietnam and Cambodia.
  • Small ship sea-going vessels are ideal for island-hopping through Indonesia and the Philippines
  • Study up on local customs and taboos before heading off on your Southeast Asia tour; for instance, never say anything negative about the king of Thailand or touch a Buddhist monk.  
  • Indonesia, Malaysia, and parts of the Philippines are majority Muslim, so you may want to avoid traveling there during the month of Ramadan, when Muslims don’t eat between sunrise and sunset.
  • While the weather is generally tropical in Southeast Asia, check the rainy versus dry seasons before booking a tour.  
  • April is the hottest month in Bangkok, when it can get stifling.
  • Wildlife safaris -- in search of komodo dragons, orangutans, tropical birds, and more – are an often overlooked tour possibility throughout much of the region.
  • While Bangkok and other Southeast Asian cities are essential stops, be sure to choose tours that also visit the countryside, where the modern hasn’t yet overwhelmed the traditional.
