Purpose-built for the Mekong River, the new Viking Saigon features clean Scandinavian design for which the Viking is known. All staterooms will have hotel-style beds and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors with a Veranda or French Balcony.

Viking Saigon will host 80 guests in 40 outside staterooms. Guests on the three-deck Viking Saigon can also enjoy a Spa & Fitness Center, Infinity Pool and open-air Sky Bar on the Upper Deck which will make the trip leisurely and pampered. 

Currently under construction, the 80-guest Viking Saigon is scheduled to debut for the 30 August 2021 cruise-tour departure. The river cruise portion of the itinerary sails between Kampong Cham, Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam.

For many, Vietnam and Cambodia remain as the top destinations because of their significance in world history. During this 15-day journey from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City, guests will explore the cultural treasures of Vietnam and Cambodia with 16 guided tours.

Hotel stays in Hanoi, Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) bracket an eight-day Mekong River cruise on this unique cruise-tour itinerary, during which guests can enjoy shopping in Old Hanoi's markets; exploring the Khmer temple complex of Angkor Wat; visit Ta Prohm, where jungle vines embrace ancient ruins; and see the sights of Phnom Penh by cyclo rickshaw. On the river cruise portion of the itinerary, guests can discover silk towns, fishing villages, monasteries and floating markets.
