We start our Amawaterways Amadara Mekong River Cruise in Vietnam!

In the first part of our Amawaterway Mekong River Cruise Series we arrive in Vietnam following our family holiday in Thailand. Sadly our arrival in Vietnam doesn't go to plan, and we have a very stressful time before we join our river cruise.
Once we start our Amawaterways River Cruise things definitely improve. Join us as we embark Amadara and find out our first impressions of this new cruise line for us.

You two are such a joy to watch. Your travels vlogs are so interesting ❤❤❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh thanks so much! ☺️

[@jeanshoemaker9819]

Oh gosh just found you and we so like you! We can relate to your luggage story, lost my bag in Madrid and we were on the Douro. When you cried about the scarf…I could relate. We sure hope you got your bag. We are deciding on our next river cruise.and the Mekong is one of our top choices.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh glad you found us! The Mekong was amazing!

[@simonflys]

Just fabulous - so pleased that you had such a wonderful introduction to AmaWaterways! Welcome to the Family ❤️👌👍😁

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much, we did! 😍

Thanks Yvonne!

Tom and Jane...the most English couple names ever! 😄

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

They were lovely 😊😊

[@warrenwolf4690]

That was me about the bread. It’s the best, especially the greasy loaves that they will carve off a piece to the width you specify. ( I like a thicker slice)😊

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh yes it was! You were so right it is delicious!

[@warrenwolf4690]

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It was a great start to a fabulous week! Great seeing you at the live earlier!

[@stephwulff1352]

I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. I've been putting some of my clothes and my husband's together for many years now. This is just in case of luggage going missing. Have a wonderful river cruise.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks, so glad we split our clothes!

[@cherylsemrau7100]

Lovely.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Cheryl!

[@jackiehill9076]

It looks a lovely river cruise so far can’t wait to follow your next adventures on board, I got emotional with you Carol when you unwrapped the scarf 🥰x

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

After losing half of our clothes that scarf just came at the right time! Busy editing the next episode now!

[@michaeldocherty2488]

Ah bless Carol, hope you get your clothes back

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks!

[@cruisecrazy7066]

I take carry-on only. No lost luggage.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes great if you can do that!

Great to see you back crusing, looking forward to watching this one ❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much!

[@margaretlm]

So excited for this series. I've been thinking a lot about taking my first river cruise and I love the thoroughness of your videos. Food looks amazing and is there anything more peaceful than a river at sunset? Truly cannot wait for the next installment!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Margaret! The food was excellent throughout and yes can't beat a good sunset!

[@terrifromm5085]

This river cruise looks fabulous. The ship and the food look Devine. Looking forward to your excursion videos.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! It is a great ship. Excursions up next!

[@daqiao]

Loving this so different .Great to be able to see if this would be the type of cruise I would enjoy .So far it looks and sounds fabulous especially the food !! lol

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is unique but so interesting!

[@kristintoo]

I loved Ama, I did this cruise last year, you chose the best! Have fun

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks! We did! 😀

[@joannemacha8294]

Just found your vlog. Very nice, your fun to watch

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks so much for finding our video! 😊

[@angelahorton5745]

Great video, a lovely ship. I'm looking forward to following this series. We enjoyed our land tour of Vietnam a few years ago and it was lovely to revisit Ho Chi Minh City last week on Marella but we're now thinking we'd enjoy a Mekong river cruise.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Angela, pretty sure you would really enjoy it!

[@carolynalexander314]

Fascinating. I've always been put off doing a river cruise as they can be disappointing / cancelled due to low water levels.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

No problem with this on the Mekong!

[@catherinehawkins1314]

Really enjoyed the video and travelling with you through these vlogs, gorgeous ship 😊

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Great to hear! Amadara is a beauty!

[@Travelling.Over.60]

Oh dear you made me cry too. I know I would be sad as well if my clothes went missing

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

People said to us you can replace stuff but it’s not the same, we’ve all got our favourite things!

[@travelswithlizzylou]

Loved this vlog ❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thank you! 🙂

[@AndrewPang-if3wu]

I think the “scarf “ is actually a sarong, which can be worn around the waist. Always enjoy your videos and especially this one as we’re booked on th3 AmaDara next February.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh you are in for a treat next Feb!

[@scruff520]

You enjoy motor sports good on ya Paulie x

Don’t take this wrong: You guys had such a fab pre cruise experience that Poor Paulie couldn’t get into proper rant mode (TOTALLY deserved} over luggage and hotel hell ride 😂

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol true! 🤣

[@KirstyG64]

Looks like a bit more lively than European River cruises?

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

There was certainly plenty going on!

[@QuickGuidesOnly]

🎉 Nice video. I hope in the future, my Small Travel Channel can grow like yours. Maby you have some tips? 😢

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thank you! Our channel has been going for 7 years now it takes time to build a channel. Best advice is to build a community on all your social platforms and make your videos entertaining and useful. Keep at it consistently and hopefully it will grow!
