Aqua Mekong

Drift away in style
Cambodia
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

Aqua Mekong is definitely not your average cruise ship.

It’s more of a floating boutique hotel, offering uber-stylish cabins, gourmet food and exceptional service levels, thanks to a 1:1 passenger to crew ratio. This really is the ultimate in luxury cruising.

There’s a selection of elegant suites on board, some with private balconies and each one an impressive 320 sq ft. They boast all the modern facilities you’d expect in a 5-star hotel, as well as floor to ceiling panoramic windows so you can enjoy the river view without even getting out of bed! Michelin-starred chef David Thompson is the Executive Chef, so you can expect mouth-watering, inventive menus that focus on the freshest ingredients sourced from local riverside markets.

Why we love it

“Hands down, the Aqua Mekong is the most luxurious way to travel between Vietnam and Cambodia (and is priced accordingly!)”

Romantic ideal

Plunge pool with a view

When you think about your honeymoon, do the words ‘ultimate’, ‘all-inclusive’, ‘uber luxury’ or ‘once in a lifetime’ come to mind? The Aqua Mekong has every detail down to a fine art, meticulously planned and executed. Filled with excitement, adventure and indulgence in equal measure – this is the one to beat.

Exploring the Mekong

Aqua Mekong Boat on the river

If it’s not enough to be on the most luxurious boat floating down the Mekong River, soaking up the rays on the sun deck and indulging in fine cuisine, then jump on a launch boat for a personalised day exploring life along the banks of the Mekong. Discover temples, landmarks and local villages on shore trips arranged by the attentive crew. Hop into a kayak and paddle your way through floating villages, or navigate the picturesque riverbanks by bike.

Brilliant! Selective Asia covered every detail.

Travel, hotels, guides, and excursions all flawlessly executed. Selective Asia listened to our requirements and worked with us to refine a great holiday.

Tim Goodman, Thailand

Holiday of a lifetime

The planning of the holiday and the ongoing support was excellent. The organisation on the ground when we got there was perfect and the local guides were knowledgeable and very personable. We would definitely go with Selective Asia again.

Gillian Baker, Komodo & Borneo

Selective Asia is more than a booking agency...

When a museum sent its exhibits overseas on tour, they learned about this before our departure and steered another to another site. When a hotel that we had booked scheduled a noisy wedding for the period of our occupancy, they were able to identify a fantastic hotel without noise before our arrival. I am not sure that any other tour operator would provide such detail in follow up, even after the tour was booked and paid for.

David Kosh, Vietnam

Our trip was outstanding...

We had had several discussions with Andrew before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in, plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again.

Heather, Japan

A great trip

We had an excellent holiday with an itinerary carefully arranged by Dave to suit our preferences. This is the third time we've travelled with Selective Asia and we will happily do so again in the future. We like the fact that they are a small company, passionate about what they do and committed to responsible travel.

Sarah Wilkie, Sri Lanka
