Seasonal guide

The dry season (November to April)

The dry season is a popular time for river cruising on the Mekong, with abundant sunshine, blue skies and little chance of rain. As December to January brings slighter cooler temperatures, cultural and historic treasures can be explored in comfort. From December to February, spring flowers are in bloom and the locals are busy trading at markets. The Vietnamese Lunar New Year, known as Tet Nguyen Dan, or Tet, is the most important time of year in Vietnam, beginning in either late January or early February. Expect fireworks, pagodas bustling with worshippers and families gathering in celebration.

The green season (May to October)

Known as the ‘green season’, May to October sees South East Asia come alive with colour as its verdant fields are nourished with intermittent monsoonal rain. Most days, you’ll likely encounter short downpours in the morning or mid-afternoon, bringing a refreshing respite from the tropical heat. Lush landscapes burst with floral beauty and prominent birdlife, while there are fewer crowds across the region’s celebrated landmarks. If you prefer smaller crowds and a more relaxed pace, this is an ideal time of year to join our 9 Night Luxury Mekong Cruise, which operates between July and September. Mid-Autumn Harvest, known as Tet-Trung-Thu, is also a significant festival for Vietnamese families, especially children. Drift along the Mekong River, enjoying the vibrant countryside and replenished air that comes with this special time of year.

For the avoidance of doubt:

(ii) regardless of when You cancel Your Booking, You will be notified of the relevant cancellation fee payable by You prior to Us processing Your proposed cancellation.

5.3 We may vary Your Journey Price at any time before You have paid the Journey Price in full (but no later than 20 days before Your Journey Departure Date) to the extent necessary to meet any increase or decrease in the Journey costs for reasons outside of Our control, which are a direct consequence of changes in applicable airfares, the cost of fuel, the level of government taxes and charges on the travel services included in the Journey (including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports), or exchange rate fluctuations relevant to the Journey. If We make a change to Your Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change. We will not vary the Journey Price after We have received the total Journey Price from You, regardless of any increases or decreases in the costs incurred by Us.

5.4 If We increase Your Journey Price by more than 8% of the original total Journey Price, We will notify You using Your Guest Contact details or via Your travel agent, providing reasons for the change and details of any alternative Journeys of an equivalent or higher quality which may be available to You, and will give You a right to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund for the portion of the Journey Price that You have paid in advance to Us or to purchase an alternative Journey from Us if You do not accept the change. You have 14 days from the date We notify You of the increased Journey Price to tell Us if You wish to cancel Your Booking and receive a refund, or to purchase an alternative Journey with Us (where applicable). If You accept the increase in the Journey Price, You must pay the increase using the payment details provided either with the balance of the Journey Price or within 14 days of the date of the notice, whichever is the later. If You do not respond to the notice within 14 days, We will notify You again of the increase and the options available to You.

Excursion tickets must be returned to the Shore Excursions Desk at the time of cancellation.

5.7 You are responsible for and must pay for all costs and expenses incurred by You as a result of any change made by You to Your Itinerary after the Departure Time. This includes changes due to illness or other personal reasons.

6 Our rights to end the Contract and cancel Your Booking and make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary

6.6 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary prior to the Departure Time: We may make changes to Your Journey and Itinerary prior to the Departure Time (separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), including changes to the planned departure date. If We make such changes, We will notify You in advance using Your Guest Contact details or via Your travel agent and We may offer you an alternative Journey or

Itinerary and notify you of any applicable difference in the Journey Price. If You do not accept the change to Your Journey or Itinerary that We have proposed and You accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us and:

(a) the original Journey Price exceeds the alternative Journey Price, then We will refund You the difference; or

(b) the alternative Journey Price exceeds the original Journey Price, then You must pay us the difference.

If You do not accept changes We have proposed and You do not accept the alternative Journey or Itinerary (as applicable) within 7 days of being notified by Us, We will cancel Your Booking and refund You the Journey Price that You paid to Us.

6.7 Other changes to Your Journey or Itinerary after the Departure Time:

(a) We may also be required to make other changes to Your Journey after the Departure Time for reasons outside of Our control (and separately to changes as a result of Events Outside Our Control), for example, in high water or low water scenarios.

If the change occurs after the Departure Time, You will be notified personally by the Cruise Director or Tour Director.

(b) If We make a material change to Your Journey or Itinerary under this clause 6.7 but provide You with a reasonably appropriate and equivalent alternative arrangement, then You will not be entitled to a refund and Our liability to You will be limited to the arrangements offered under this clause, subject to clause 6.7(c).
