Because of low water (in the Cambodian section of the Mekong), we are spending one day more in Vietnam than originally scheduled. In fact, this morning’s tour to Xeo Quyt was not included in the original itinerary but was added because of extra time spent in the Vinh Long area (street scene of Vinh Long pictured). AMAWATERWAYS is pioneering a river where only a handful of companies operate and is quickly adapting to low-water conditions upstream. For example, Tonle Sap (Great Lake) is impassable by boat, so we will transfer by bus (5 hours) to Siem Reap, from Kampong Chhang. Water conditions likely will dictate two products in the future, a low-water itinerary and a high-water one.

Ralph,
Enjoying your adventure.
I think this is a good reason to go with a company that has had experience in low and high water problems, plus, who has been doing it a long time. Riding a bus isn’t our idea of fun on a river cruise because the people who run the cruise don’t understand the conditions. AMA is a good company but rather new at the game.
