Pandaw has announced that as of September 2024, all Mekong sailings will dock in central Saigon rather than in My Tho where the majority of river cruise operators dock.
The decision to dock in central Saigon was taken in order to cut the two-hour transfer from My Tho.
According to the cruise line, My Tho is getting busier due to the increasing number of river cruise ships operating in the region.
The move will allow guests to experience “the more authentic side of the Mekong River in comfort.”
As a result of this move, guests on upstream sailings from Saigon to Siem Reap will embark from 10am and enjoy lunch onboard whilst sailing.
Guests on downstream sailings from Siem Reap to Saigon will be treated to a sunset dinner onboard while sailing into central Saigon on the final evening.
Pandaw has also announced that from September 2024 cabins on all of their vessels will be upgraded with tea and coffee-making facilities as well as a fridge and fully-stocked minibar.
