Australian agents marvel at the Mekong onboard Marguerite
July 13, 2012
A GROUP of very lucky West Australian travel agents were hosted onboard the stylish RV La Marguerite whilst enjoying the first-ever Travelmarvel-Malaysia Airlines famil of Vietnam and Cambodia. As part of the Mekong River cruise the agents enjoyed local fresh food, and made good use of the vessel’s sundeck bar, pool, lounge and restaurant. Highlights of the voyage included small group shore excursions to local markets and villages between Saigon and Siem Reap. Particularly “powerful experiences”, according to Kellee Gilmour, APT/Travelmarvel BDM in Perth who escorted the group, included visits to Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, as well as a tour of the Genocide Museum and Killing Fields in Phnom Penh. The group pictured in front of Marguerite includes (from left): Monika O’Reilly, Travelmarvel; Lily Gerarchi, Best Cruises; Justin La Grange, Malaysia Airlines; Michelle Jenyns, Escape Travel Joondalup; Debbie Morris, Escape Travel Whitfords; Kelly Spinks, Jetset Albany; Kellee Gilmour; Olga Shrewsbury, Jetset Joondalup; and Sunita Ahuja, RAC Cannington.
