DEPARTS January 24 - February 7, 2027 - For those ready for an adventure, be sure to add the extension to Cambodia and experience Angkor Wat. Travelers have been compiling lists ever since Antipater of Sidon came up with his Seven Wonders of the World, in the second century B.C. On my own list of wonders, no place would have a more secure claim than Angkor, the capital of the ancient Khmer kingdom. What makes Angkor Wat unique is that since its construction, unlike other temples, Angkor Wat has remained a “working temple” since it was built in the 15th century and thus has never fallen into disrepair. UNESCO named the Angkor Archaeological Park, situated just outside of Siem Reap, Cambodia, a World Heritage Site for good reason.
Visions of ancient millennial temples, the timeless chants of Buddhist monks, flower markets, narrow canals and waterways, cuisine that bursts with flavor, shopping bargains galore, hill tribes clinging to traditional lifestyles, colorful costumes and festivals, and the “King and I,” all grace your imagination. Loy Krathong the biggest and most colorful festival in the Kingdom of Thailand. Cruising Halong Bay Vietnam, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You soon begin to realize this is no ordinary adventure. This is one of those extraordinary, life-changing experiences. This is an adventure for “travelers,” not for mere tourists.
