Enjoy winter travel by embarking on a voyage of discovery and exoticism with All Ways Cruises.
Everyone knows this feeling: having to admit, after the last colourful days of autumn, that the dark winter is just beginning. And then one day comes the inevitable desire to head for a hot and sunny destination. Forget the winter’s grey skies and book a sumptuous trip right now.
Cruises offer many interesting possibilities to visit fascinating countries while recharging your batteries. Need some ideas? The Belgian tour operator All Ways Cruises offers several attractive options on the largest rivers in the world.
The highlight of All Ways is its simple concept: boarding ships on a human scale, with their own guides, and discovering with likeminded people in countries and regions which are blessed with a high cultural and historical level.
The advantage of visiting these areas while cruising goes well beyond the comfort of traveling with your hotel. The rivers on which you will sail are the real arteries of the countries visited.
This winter, All Ways Cruises offers the following trips:
The Royal Mekong
A trip to Vietnam and Cambodia, on the mighty Mekong River and Tonle Sap Lake. A small boat will take you to the heart of lake villages, with their floating markets, or bubbling cities like Saigon, alongside the rice fields and Buddhist temples.
After the monumental splendour of the seven successive capitals of the ancient Khmer kingdom, the journey ends in the wondrous temples of Angkor Wat. (From November 26 to December 8, 2019)
In the heart of Myanmar, Burma
During a river cruise on the Irrawaddy River, you will discover all the highlights of this ‘golden country’.
