Aqua Mekong Cruises
Overview
Tour of Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Charting a luxurious passage on Asia’s Mekong River across Cambodia and Vietnam, the 205-foot Aqua Mekong showcases award-winning modern design with comprehensive amenities such as a spa, gym and river-facing plunge pool. The vessel’s 20 spacious suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramas of the ever-changing Mekong scenery. For off-shore excursions, Aqua Expeditions owns and operates Mekong’s only fleet of private tenders that bring guests on highly personalized day trips to landmarks, temples and villages where tradition, spirituality and craftsmanship reside. The cultural journey continues on board with a locally-inspired dining experience crafted by Michelin-starred consulting chef David Thompson.
