French colonial architecture fills Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, where guests visit the Royal Palace, Silver Pagoda and the National Museum. Another highlight is jungle-shrouded Angkor Wat, an expansive complex of ornate stone structures and beehive towers built in the early 12th century.

In Vietnam, see the colorful port of Cai Be. Sightseeing tours in Ho Chi Minh City visit sites associated with the Vietnam War, such as the War Remnants Museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels, underground channels used as hideouts by the Viet Cong.

If you choose an itinerary that spends time in Bangkok, you'll likely see the famous Emerald Buddha and Reclining Buddha, housed in ornate temples. While in Luang Prabang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Laos, guests visit the 1904 Royal Palace Museum and attend silk-weaving and paper-making demonstrations.

Well-planned Mekong River itineraries incorporate the top tourist sites, but they also leave guests with a deeper understanding of the local culture and people. Mekong trips are easy to budget, too, as so much is included in one price that you pay upfront, including riverboat accommodations, hotel stays, many meals and activities ashore.
