The Vat Phou Cruise
Amongst the finest journeys in Asia
Few journeys are more iconic than cruising Asia’s mighty rivers; in our experience, the three day Vat Phou Cruise on the Mekong River in southern Laos is the pick of the bunch. An old timber barge converted into a luxurious cruising ship in 1993, the Vat Phou’s charming air-conditioned cabins, wide wooden decks & magnificent open-air dining room lend themselves to a truly relaxing journey with stops at the 4,000 Islands, the Oum Muong ruins, Wat Phou (the majestic pre-Khmer temple), French Colonial Done Khone, & the Khone Phapheng waterfall.
