Aqua Mekong: a luxury trip to Indochina


Aqua Expeditions, a company that offers intimate expeditions on small boats to remote destinations, offers guests the opportunity to discover the vibrant life of the Mekong River, characterized by a rich culture shaped by centuries of heritage and tradition, aboard the Aqua Mekong.

From the hustle and bustle of the floating markets to the tuk-tuks weaving through the winding streets, the Delta has an energy that is hard to find elsewhere.

It is definitely a destination worth discovering, and due to popular demand from cruise guests, the line has extended the opportunity to explore this fantastic destination throughout April.

In fact, Aqua Mekong offers one of the best cruising experiences in all of Indochina with a varied and rich program. It is possible to go on twice-daily excursions with expert guides to discover the wonders of Cambodia and Vietnam, or even take a bike ride through the Cambodian countryside and observe ancient practices at Buddhist temples. For those with itineraries that end in Siem Reap, you can end your trip with a visit to the ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat.

Mekong cruises range in length from 3 to 7 days, making them accessible to those with limited time. In fact, the 3-night Aqua Mekong Discovery Cruise offers time-starved travelers a brief but rewarding taste of life on the river, heading upstream in Cambodia to explore the Tonle Sap or downstream between Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s enlightening capital, and Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam.

For those who want to dive a little deeper into these captivating landscapes, the 4-night Aqua Mekong Explorer Cruise is available, where you can visit Cambodia or take a trip back in time as you head upstream from Ho Chi Minh City and the thriving Mekong Delta, past floating villages and golden pagodas to the Art Deco monuments of Phnom Penh.

Finally, the 7-night Aqua Mekong Expedition Cruise allows guests to discover all the mysteries and wonders of the Mekong River, Tonle Sap Lake and diverse cultures, meeting Khmer farmers, Buddhist monks and entrepreneurs in Vietnam’s wet markets.

In addition, the ship offers all the comforts you need to relax on board, with designer suites featuring floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mighty Mekong River with endless panoramic views, but you can also cool off at the end of the day in a hot tub overlooking the caramel-colored waters.

In addition to the extension to the entire month of April, Aqua Expeditions is also offering an early bird discount of 30% on departures for bookings made before the end of March.
