HCMC Accommodation and Mekong Delta overnight

Hello everyone,

We are organizing an upcoming vacation and need suggestions for a 3-day, 2-night river journey through the Mekong Delta, traveling from Ho Chi Minh to Rach Gia, since our next destination is Phu Quoc. We are a party of three (all visiting Vietnam for the first time), so we would greatly appreciate straightforward counsel regarding the quality and cost of various cruise alternatives.

Separately, while in Ho Chi Minh City (District 1), we are hoping to book a genuinely upscale hotel while maintaining the most competitive price. Having a swimming pool is non-negotiable! Ideally, we need lodging with two distinct bedrooms for the three of us, or alternatively, two separate single rooms if that proves to be more cost-effective. Any hotel recommendations would be fantastic.

Cheers ☺️
