A journey through Southeast
Asia is a sensory experience,

own unique characteristics.
We believe food plays an
important role in your travel

source most of our produce
locally, ensuring that every
dish we serve is as fresh and
authentic as possible. And,

14Welcome to
Indochina
A hypnotic blend of natural spectacles,
ritualistic cultures and warm locals, Emerald
Waterways will lift the veil on this treasure
trove as you navigate between each country.
Used to denote a particular part of Southeast
Asia, the term ‘Indochina’ is made up of
much of the eastern part of the Indochinese
Peninsula and we want to introduce you to
Vietnam and Cambodia.
Vietnam
Centuries-old architecture and a strong
French-Colonial influence gives Hanoi a
Parisian edge and, subsequently, the nickname
of the ‘Paris of the East’. Travel north east to
Halong Bay, an ethereal expanse of emerald
waters and limestone islands, populated by
traditional junk boats, enticing travellers for
decades. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed
Old Town of Hoi An presents an exquisite blend
of eras, likewise, Ho Chi Minh City is host to a
contrast of old and new, as sleek skyscrapers
and rooftop bars neighbour ancient temples
and pagodas.
Cambodia
You’ll be swept up by Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s
busy capital, as exotic scents and a strong
sense of pride in their culture, leave you in
awe. Experience a truly unique blessing from
a Buddhist Monk, take a ride in a traditional
Tuk-Tuk by night, and attend the Cambodian
Circus, an NGO founded by refugees. While in
Siem Reap, you’ll have the opportunity to visit
Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer
Empire, as well as Ta Prohm Temple and, not
forgetting, Angkor Wat, the UNESCO World
Heritage-listed site recognised for its elaborate
decorations and intricate carvings.
