Like its sister vessel, the Avalon Saigon will offer a collection of suites and have a maximum capacity of 36 passengers.
In addition to the Avalon Siem Reap, the company operates a 36-passenger cruise boat on the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. Both ships were launched in 2015 and have proved a smash hit with discerning travellers.
Avalon is a part of the Globus group. Globus spokesperson Pam Hoffee said demand for Mekong cruises was so strong there were not many vacancies on the Avalon Siem Reap over the next few months.
