DEAR ADVENTURER
Were delighted to return to Vietnam and Angkor Wat where exquisite cultural treasures
await, and where we are welcomed with an open friendliness rivaled by few other countries.From the forest-enshrouded Angkor temples, a legacy of Cambodias great Khmer Empire,to the bustling cities and timeless villages of Vietnam, our journey showcases the wondersof Indochina.
We begin in Siem Reap, our base as we explore breathtaking temple complexes, includingthe chance to watch the sun rise over the soaring towers of Angkor Wat, one of six WorldHeritage Sites on our itinerary. In Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) we board the superb110-passenger Clipper Odyssey, the perfect vessel for our thousand-mile voyage, and sail
northward. Geographically, the landscape is one of profound and contrasting beauty, withlush jungle-cloaked mountains, dazzling beaches, dramatic limestone formations that risestraight from coastal seabeds, and terraced rice fields made fertile by the immense Red Riverand Mekong Deltas.
With its early settlement dating back more than 4,000 years, Vietnam reflects the influencesof a succession of empires and would-be conquerors in its architecture, religion, and traditions.
Youll be captivated by the design intricacies of temples, shrines, and monumentsthe ancientCham Ponagar Temple in Nha Trang, the ruins at My Son, the historic center of Hoi An, and
the Imperial City of Hue. And, in the dreamscape archipelago of Halong Bay, witness naturesdramatic limestone architecture that legend calls the handiwork of celestial dragons.
e cities of both Cambodia and Vietnam reveal thriving urban centers; Ho Chi Minh Cityradiates a freewheeling entrepreneurial spirit, its French-colonial buildings the last vestigesof the era of Western control. Hanoi and Phnom Penh present a more sedate elegance withtheir lovely shaded boulevards, presidential palaces, museums, ornate colonial buildings,temples, and pagodas. Colorful street scenesmarkets, noodle vendors, silk lantern standsalong with the perpetual motion of thousands of motorcycles and cyclos, catch the eye from
every direction. As one of our recent travelers put it, is amazing place is one great photoopportunity after another.
We also encounter Vietnamese daily life along the Mekong Delta and the Perfume River,as we walk the narrow streets of tiny villages, surrounded by a patchwork of rice paddies.
Among the many highlights of our voyage is a performance at Hanois famed Water Puppeteater, a bicycle ride through the countryside, and a private performance by Vietnamese hilltribe-people which UNESCO has designated an intangible treasure.
As always, our distinguished team of leaders and lecturers share their knowledge and insight,providing an intimate and in-depth experience. For exquisite natural beauty, ancient culturaldiversity, and the warmest of welcomes by a resilient and forward-looking people, we hopeyoull join us as we explore the magical lands of Indochina.
Warm regards,
Jon NicholsonPresident

DEAR ADVENTURER
Were delighted to return to Vietnam and Angkor Wat where exquisite cultural treasures
await, and where we are welcomed with an open friendliness rivaled by few other countries.From the forest-enshrouded Angkor temples, a legacy of Cambodias great Khmer Empire,to the bustling cities and timeless villages of Vietnam, our journey showcases the wondersof Indochina.
We begin in Siem Reap, our base as we explore breathtaking temple complexes, includingthe chance to watch the sun rise over the soaring towers of Angkor Wat, one of six WorldHeritage Sites on our itinerary. In Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) we board the superb110-passenger Clipper Odyssey, the perfect vessel for our thousand-mile voyage, and sail
northward. Geographically, the landscape is one of profound and contrasting beauty, withlush jungle-cloaked mountains, dazzling beaches, dramatic limestone formations that risestraight from coastal seabeds, and terraced rice fields made fertile by the immense Red Riverand Mekong Deltas.
With its early settlement dating back more than 4,000 years, Vietnam reflects the influencesof a succession of empires and would-be conquerors in its architecture, religion, and traditions.
Youll be captivated by the design intricacies of temples, shrines, and monumentsthe ancientCham Ponagar Temple in Nha Trang, the ruins at My Son, the historic center of Hoi An, and
the Imperial City of Hue. And, in the dreamscape archipelago of Halong Bay, witness naturesdramatic limestone architecture that legend calls the handiwork of celestial dragons.
e cities of both Cambodia and Vietnam reveal thriving urban centers; Ho Chi Minh Cityradiates a freewheeling entrepreneurial spirit, its French-colonial buildings the last vestigesof the era of Western control. Hanoi and Phnom Penh present a more sedate elegance withtheir lovely shaded boulevards, presidential palaces, museums, ornate colonial buildings,temples, and pagodas. Colorful street scenesmarkets, noodle vendors, silk lantern standsalong with the perpetual motion of thousands of motorcycles and cyclos, catch the eye from
every direction. As one of our recent travelers put it, is amazing place is one great photoopportunity after another.
We also encounter Vietnamese daily life along the Mekong Delta and the Perfume River,as we walk the narrow streets of tiny villages, surrounded by a patchwork of rice paddies.
Among the many highlights of our voyage is a performance at Hanois famed Water Puppeteater, a bicycle ride through the countryside, and a private performance by Vietnamese hilltribe-people which UNESCO has designated an intangible treasure.
As always, our distinguished team of leaders and lecturers share their knowledge and insight,providing an intimate and in-depth experience. For exquisite natural beauty, ancient culturaldiversity, and the warmest of welcomes by a resilient and forward-looking people, we hopeyoull join us as we explore the magical lands of Indochina.
Warm regards,
Jon NicholsonPresident
