WENDY WU CELEBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY WITH VIP ‘CLASSIC MEKONG’ TOUR

Wendy Wu ship the Victoria

Our favourite all-inclusive Asian touring specialist Wendy Wu Tours reaches an exciting milestone this year, celebrating 25 years of business.

Four years after leading her first tour to China in 1994, founder CEO Wendy Wu branched out and officially established Wendy Wu Tours in 1998. Today, London-based Wendy couldn’t be prouder of the company’s epic journey from Australian start up to global group-tour expert to now offer more than 80 fully-inclusive itineraries throughout Asia, Latin America, Eurasia and the Middle East.

To mark this silver-anniversary milestone, Wendy Wu Tours has announced a special VIP version of its Classic Mekong tour - which will include a personal appearance by the legendary company founder herself.

Wendy Wu is confirmed to join travellers for the three-night Mekong cruise portion of this 18-day itinerary, providing guests a special one-on-one experience as she points out her favourite Southeast Asian sights and shares personal recollections about her most memorable travel experiences.

Exclusive additional VIP features travellers can expect to enjoy on this special departure include:

• A special ‘Farmer *& Fisherman’ experience in Cam Thanh
• 20-minute seaplane flight over Halong Bay
• A complimentary cocktail at Bitexo Tower’s 49th–floor sky bar
• A dinner experience with a local Vietnamese family in Saigon
• A ‘Mekong’ mindfulness session onboard the cruise, to help soak up the surroundings and serenity of the beautiful Mekong River.

About the tour

This VIP tour departure starts with a visit to Angkor Wat in Cambodia and includes a sunset ‘boat’ ride along Angkor’s moat to capture the sun sinking behind the temples on the horizon – a spectacular sight.

Travellers will then experience a three-night cruise aboard the four-star Victoria Mekong with Wendy Wu. Built in 2019, and acquired by Wendy Wu Tours two years ago, this is the only vessel to cruise this magical section of the Mekong Delta which delivers wonders at every turn, from the lush, green landscapes of Vietnam up to Cambodia’s enchanting capital, Phnom Penh.

Offering a small-ship experience for up to 35-cabins only, this ship has a selection of spacious, stylish staterooms which come with floor to ceiling windows, private balcony and individually controlled air conditioning. Two VIP cabins for those who want an added touch of luxury.

Passengers can also enjoy a wide range of amenities situated across four spacious decks such as an infinity pool and pool bar, the Horizon Lounge Bar, a library, Green Lotus Spa, Claypot Restaurant, gym, movie room, games room, boutique, and mini golf.

Halong Bay

Notably, the Victoria Mekong is the greenest ship on the river blending state-of-the-art eco-credentials with four-star comfort and superior service. Travellers can rest assured they are cruising plastic free, and the ship relies on its own water generator, solar panels and waste treatment facilities for minimal impact on the local community and environment it works so closely with.

The cruise will stop in at ports hand selected by Wendy Wu and her team before disembarking to an urban encounter with city excursions to take in the best of Saigon, Hoi An and Hanoi in Vietnam. An overnight cruise of Halong Bay completes this trip of a lifetime.
