DISCOVER THE THOUGHTS of previous Uniworld Guests
The Mekong Jewel was beautiful and comfortably laid out. Our room, which was on the Lotus Deck and had a french balcony was larger than other river cruise lines we have travelled with. The bathroom with large walk in shower was especially nice. But there was more than just a ship. The excursions were well done and interesting. The guides were amazing. Also, when we did the land portion of our trip, there were three different hotels involved and all of them were five star and beautiful!
