Whilst the days of sailing the entire length of the mighty Mekong River are a distant memory, there are now a number of cruises that can be made on shorter sections of the river in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Each is a unique experience and there are a range of boats to choose from depending on your location and desires. From the converted rice barges of the Luang Say Cruise in upper Laos which complete their journey between Huay Xai and Luang Prabang in two days, to the two night cruises aboard the luxurious Vat Phou Cruise in the 4000 Islands, Laos' offers a number of wonderful journeys.
The equally luxurious and iconic Pandaw plies the waters of Cambodia's Tonlé Sap and the Mekong Delta between Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City with a variety of schedules and duration of cruise. Finally The Bassac and private sampans cruise Vietnam's Mekong Delta and tributary rivers, the perfect choice for those seeking to experience truly authentic delta life in Vietnam.
River cruising makes for a very special addition to any tailor-made holiday in Indochina, and there is something for everyone – speak to your Selective Asia consultant to find out more.
