Avalon Saigon is an Avalon Waterways cruise ship, in service since 2018. She carries 36 guests with a crew of 24. She sails Mekong itineraries. We rate her 3.7 out of 5.
Avalon Saigon is Avalon Waterways' Mekong ship, an all-suite vessel for just 36 guests in 18 Panorama Suites of 245 square feet, built about as long and wide as ships that carry twice as many. Her interiors mix colonial-era touches with modern fittings, and guests gather in an air-conditioned Panorama Lounge or an open-air observation lounge at the bow. She sails Mekong Discovery cruises between Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City, sold alone or with Siem Reap, Hanoi, Ha Long Bay or Bangkok, and TravelAge West named her best new river cruise ship in 2019.
