The Mysterious Mekong River

The Mekong River is a trans-boundary waterway which flows for 4,350 kilometres through Southeast Asia. Despite only being Asia’s seventh-longest river, it is one of the most biologically diverse in the world, second only to the Amazon. From floating markets to traditional sampans, it is truly fascinating to see how locals live in peaceful union with one of nature’s most plentiful sources.

Highlights of your Mekong River cruise include:

Introducing Luke Nguyen

E

xplore the wonders of the Mekong as you are swept through the legendary landscapes of these enchanting lands. A country that boasts wondrous grace, stunning beauty and a sobering recent history, Cambodia is a land of contrast. Its highlights are plentiful, not least of which is the iconic Angkor Wat, considered the world’s largest religious monument. The capital of Phnom Penh is the political and cultural hub of the country, with the gleaming gold Royal Palace and the Silver Pagoda superb examples of fascinating Khmer architecture. An intoxicating blend of breathtaking natural landscapes, vibrant cities and incredible flavours, Vietnam has been an attractive destination to travellers for decades – and very few visit just once. So captivated are they with the country’s incredible beauty and energetic cities that they return time and time again. A river cruise is the ideal way to visit some of the world’s most fascinating destinations, whilst sharing experiences and discoveries with new like-minded friends in a relaxed way. Travelling on a small boutique ship you will enjoy the intimacy of a small group of travellers whilst on board.
