Cultural Tours Return to PSBI with 2026 Mekong River Cruise

Pearl S. Buck International will once again be offering international cultural tours with a Mekong River Cruise to Vietnam and Cambodia in 2026.

Serving Children in Need in Vietnam

Vietnam is one of the overseas countries in which Pearl S. Buck International works, providing humanitarian aid to marginalized and impoverished children in the form of nutrition, education, health care, livelihood, and psycho-social support. This aid is provided through child sponsorship, project funding, and gift catalog opportunities. In Vietnam, Pearl S. Buck International works with children, many of whom have developmental disabilities or who are living with HIV/AIDS, living in six orphanages in the Hanoi region.

Enjoy Cultural, Natural, and Historical Experiences and Opportunity to Visit Sponsored Children

During the cruise, which will make stops at Ho Chi Minh City, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, and Kampong Cham among other places in the two countries, guests will enjoy cultural, natural, and historical experiences. The river cruise journey along the Mekong will include a Pearl S. Buck International host. There will also be a post-cruise opportunity to visit the children served by Pearl S. Buck International Vietnam whose lives have been impacted by the generosity of child sponsors.

Promotional Pricing Available Through September 30

This trip, which is being organized by Merge Travel, will be February 23-March 2, 2026. While this is a special opportunity for Pearl S. Buck International sponsors of Vietnamese children to visit their children and learn more about the country and the work being done there, this trip is open to the public. Special promotional pricing is available through September 30, 2024. For more information go to https://mergetravelco.com/mekong-river-cruise.
