Wendy Wu Tours has unveiled the cruise-and-tour programme for its first new-build ship.


The $10 million Victoria Mekong will sail between Can Tho, Vietnam, and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, after its launch in December 2019. The operator is offering a


choice of four group tours and two private tours on the 35-cabin ship. The two private tours – the


12-day Mekong Impressions, from £3,190 per person, and the 19-day Mekong Discovery, from £4,190 – are bespoke and organised by the operator on an individual basis.


“The Victoria Mekong is an exciting addition to our portfolio, filling a gap in the market”
