Overview
AmaWaterways' flagship, sailing the Mekong River, AmaDara is truly in a class of her own. With design elements primarily inspired by French Colonial decor, she evokes luxury with the spice of Southeast Asia, being furnished with ornately carved wood furniture and handmade artifacts from local artisans. While cruising aboard AmaDara, a world of relaxation is always steps away, whether you want to relax by the Sun Deck pool or treat yourself to a massage. Spend your days exploring the riverbanks and relaxing in the Saigon Lounge before dining on unique, regional cuisine at the Main Restaurant or Chef's Table!

The pool came in handy on quite a few occasions and I was amazed at how quickly the staff learned our names, as well as our drink/food preferences. You won't be disappointed in the high level of service! This is our second AMA Waterways cruise and we definitely plan on taking them again!
Pros: Outstanding Cruise Manager, highly trained staff who excel in providing outstanding customer service, beautiful ship with all the amenities, outstanding food and drink options.
Cons: Must be comfortable with high temperatures and high humidity!

I thought this river cruise was fantastic! The service was just exceptional both onboard and at the hotels used for the pre-cruise. The staff onboard could not have been better. Very very impressive. Our suite was larger than we anticipated which was nice. The excursions were fantastic with options for both very active walkers and not so active walkers. The only real issue we had was not receiving final documents and the app not working properly with the updated daily cruiser information. My app didn't really start working until the last 5 days of the trip. Other guests had the same problem. The app was fantastic when it was working. That was our only issue we had. Everything else was wonderful.
Pros: Exceptional service! Exceptional Quality of excursions! Excellent accommodations!
Cons: River was low so some steps were pretty steep - Didn't receive final documents until after cruise started. App did not work properly until the last 5 days of the trip so that was disappointing.

We wanted something different and that is what we got. We participated in the pre and post AMA activities. The accommodations were magnificent - two 5-Star hotels and the other including the Ha Long Bay boat were extremely nice. Visiting third world countries is a first for us, although clearly Saigon and Hanoi had some very first world accommodations. As did Siem Reap. Visiting villages and homes of the locals was most interesting. Visiting a school and seeing the very happy and excited students was a highlight. Hearing about (learning about) the very recent battles including the one the US was involved in was enlightening. I got a better appreciation of John McCain who is revered in Saigon.
Pros: Very different from European or ocean cruises.
Cons: A few of the arrangements for disembarking were rustic and difficult for some passengers.
