Classic Mekong (Upper Deck)

Thursday 28 Nov 2024
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
We had a great trip. Travel arrangements, including special meals, went smoothly. An excellent itinerary means you get to experience exciting cities, historic sites, rural life and a super cruise on the Victoria Mekong, a very comfortable boat. The people are friendly and welcoming and the country guides worked hard to give us an insight into the history and culture of both countries. The hotels and restaurants were generally very good. Our only reservation - and the reason w didn't give 5 stars - relates to the food. It was good and with generous portions. However, excluding breakfast, the meals were all on a fixed menu basis. We understand that this works well for tour companies and restauranteurs, but one fixed menu was pretty much like any other fixed menu and this meant the meals soon began to feel repetitious. This was more pronounced for vegetarians, where the selection of dishes was more limited. When you think of all the positives on the trip, this seems a relatively small gripe, but one we thought worth mentioning. Our impression was that overall our group (20) felt they'd had a wonderful experience.

We loved it, but don't know the reason for the substantial extra charge for the upper deck cabin. The room size an both decks were identical, both had balconies and there was no great scenery to look at.

Booked a tour with you in 2010 and service was excellent as was the tour. Because of this, we decided to book through them again. We were not disappointed. The service we received was excellent and we highly recommend them.

What a lovely ship. The staff were incredibly attentive. Once they knew what you liked, the next time, it was ready waiting for you, you didn't have to ask. They took an interest in you and were happy to chat to you. The accommodations were as good as any 5star hotel. The food was excellent. We got to visit the Captains Deck and Engineering and learnt about the excellent environmental processes on the ship. A lovely and very comfortable sundeck. A superb bar. An inclusive guide on the many landside visits by tender that you could choose to go on. My time on the Victoria Mekong was only 4 days and only part of my inclusive Wendy Wu trip of Cambodia and Vietnam, however, it was most certainly my favourite part. I was informed that the ships company is starting a seven day trip of the Mekong; now that would be very special.

I have used Wendy Wu when visiting China, two joined trips to Japan and Ecuador with the Galapagos extension. I have now booked the Classic Mekong for this Spring. I am looking forward to this trip. I am certain I will use Wendy Wu again another year. I like that everything is included, including the tipping. which makes one feel very comfortable.

Cabin was very comfortable. Food excellent. Trips off the boat were very interesting and very good entertainment. Lovely outside pool and sunloungers. Everything you would expect from a Cruise.

25 Year Anniversary Classic Mekong (Upper Deck)

Saturday 04 Nov 2023
Overview Rating:
Our Tour: Good
Full on travel experience. All travel arrangements and pick ups were organised superbly
The hotels were all of a good standard and the beds high quality aiding great sleep
Cambodia was beyond expectations as was our guide Buvnath. The Angor complex and the Ta Prohn temples ( Tomb Raider film) was breathtaking despite the high humidity and the rest of the itinerary was very interesting. A luxury coach transferred the 16 of us to Pnom Penn.
Next was a cruise down the Mekong river which was a welcome respite after a few days touring
The boat was lovely as were the staff and the evening entertainment was authentic.
Wendy Wu greeted us for the cruise and it was fun to hear how she had built her tour business
3 groups amalgamated on this cruise and I felt the trips out were a bit busy with all of us descendingon each location.
After 3 days on the Mekong River it was a transfer to Saigon.
This day was less successful as a packed and somewhat repetetive days activities and a late lunch meant we arrived in our hotel with little time to shower and freshen up for dinner which I decided to miss.
After that day the tour picked up again and our new guide Hoi kept the group engaged and the travel arrangements from then on were faultless including 2 internal flights from Ho Chi Min to Da Nang for the beautiful Hoi An and then onto Hanoi.
Hoi made sure each hotel had all our details in advance and arranged luggage collection /porterage so no lengthy lobby waits to get to our rooms.
The evening show in Hoi An was a spectacular display of acrobatics traditional music and dance and I am glad this was included
The seaplane flight over Halong bay was like something out of a James Bond movie and the cruise on the Junk was very pleasant
Why only 4 stars
I felt some of the food /set meals provided were bland , and unimaginative for the price point .The veg was always excellent but one restaurant gave us pork complete with hairy skin!! which nobody ate much of! The last nights meal was very average and a disappointment.
Overall a great experience which I would recommend
The food does need improved for the evening meals
