Viking Saigon Review

Review of Viking Saigon

The 2021-built/2022-inaugurated RV Viking Saigon ship cruises on Mekong River (in Vietnam and Cambodia) departing from homeports Saigon Vietnam and Kampong Cham Cambodia (bus travel to Siem Reap, flight to Hanoi).

Viking Saigon is a modern-designed and handcrafted vessel designed to safely navigate the Lower Mekong River. Viking Saigon's fleetmate deployed in the Cambodia-Vietnam region is the 2002-built Viking Mekong (brand name for the chartered from Pandaw Cruises riverboat "Mekong Pandaw").

Viking Saigon's sistership/same-designed fleetmate is Viking Tonle (2025).

The newbuild riverboat Viking Saigon has max passenger capacity 80 (plus 35 staff-crew). It offers magnificent riverside views from every stateroom due to the large windows and plenty of open-deck space. The atmosphere onboard is extraordinarily friendly, with exceptional service provided by a professionally trained English-speaking crew.

The vessel's builder was Hai Minh Shipyard (Saigon Shipyards Co Ltd) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Viking Saigon's inaugural cruise was initially scheduled for August 30, 2021 (15-day "Magnificent Mekong" itinerary), but due to the COVID crisis was postponed by a year.
