geovalin Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 An international cruise line, based in the United Kingdom, will soon start operations in the Mekong River and ferry passengers between Cambodia and Vietnam. Emerald Waterways announced recently that it will launch its Mekong service on August 31 using a brand new ship, the Emerald Harmony. David Winterton, the company’s UK marketing head, was quoted as saying in Cruise Trade News that the launch of its Mekong operations will be a milestone in its efforts to maintain its standing as one of the leading river cruise brands in the world. Emerald Harmony is being touted as being one of the best-ever river cruise ships to ply the Mekong River. On its official website, Emerald Waterways said the Emerald Harmony was specially designed to traverse the Mekong River, which runs through China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. The river is Indochina’s most important waterway and one of the longest in the world. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50631372/cruise-line-to-start-mekong-river-service/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaan sailor Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 In a year or two, no more Mekong, thanks to Chicom dams. Perhaps a Jeep or Land-rover tour through the mud border. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
