Review: AmaWaterways on the Mekong River

2 months ago | travelagewest.com | Geri Bain

The mesmerizing chanting of Buddhist monks resounded through the grand temple at Cambodia’s Oudong monastery as they bestowed a traditional blessing on our AmaWaterways cruise group. The experience felt especially meaningful given that the monks had chatted with us beforehand (in perfect English) about their daily lives, their role in Cambodian society and the blessings they confer. This was one of more than a dozen cultural encounters curated for our seven-night Mekong River cruise.
