Scenic Cruises is always coming up with new and exciting ways in which to enjoy the world’s beautiful waterways, and for 2017-2018, the popular cruise line is offering additional options to its South East Asia River Cruising program.
As an all-inclusive, luxury cruise line, Scenic has always been known for its fun and engaging tours, immersive cultural experiences and superb dining choices. But for those sailing the Mekong in Asia, guests will now have some intriguing new Freechoice activities and Freechoice Dining options to enjoy.
As the gateway to the world famous Angkor Wat temples, Siem Reap offers much in the way of outdoor activities. Making this stop of the journey even more entertaining, Scenic will now offer two exciting Freechoice activities to enjoy in and around the popular resort town.
