MEKONG RIVER LUXURY CRUISE – VIETNAM

Every itinerary on the luxury small ship, Aqua Mekong, is designed to offer an enjoyable and deeply insightful experience of the stunning Mekong region.

Culture and civilizations have flourished around great rivers throughout history, and the Mekong is no exception. The opportunity to discover rich heritage and traditions enriched by 2,000 years of human history is what makes the Mekong river cruise one of Asia’s most epic and worthwhile journeys on water.

A traveler cruising the Mekong is in close pursuit of a glorious past, retracing significant human accomplishments and cultural highs. From the flourishing of the Khmer empire from the 9th to 15th century to the prominence of Theravada Buddhism in present-day Cambodia and Vietnam, this is one of the few cultural destinations on Earth that’s best explored on a river voyage.

Within each itinerary, activities are also highly personalized. Guests can choose from different excursions throughout the day, and follow a dedicated guide on small-group explorations that set off on Aqua Mekong’s own private skiffs. At the pace you desire, we make it possible to experience the beauty and culture of the Mekong River in comfort and exclusivity.

And no matter what travel plans you have in mind, you can find a luxury cruise itinerary that suits your schedule. Begin by exploring the various itineraries for Aqua Mekong river cruises, which sail from Vietnam to Cambodia and vice versa, or within Cambodia. Itineraries depart from Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap.
