Mekong

Discover the majesty of the Mekong

Stretching an impressive 3,000 miles, the Mekong River stands as a vibrant lifeline running through the heart of Asia, offering a unique glimpse into the continent’s diverse and enchanting history. Cruise along its nurturing waters past hidden villages, mystical jungles, and towering mountains.

In the heart of Cambodia, Kampong Chhnang serves as a majestic introduction to rural Cambodian life, situated tantalizingly close to the veins of the Tonle Sap River. As you navigate through floating villages, the simplicity of Khmer living greets you in the smiles of farmers and the bustling produce markets, offering glimpses into a life nurtured by the river.

Your journey extends to the capital city of Phnom Penh, where a walk along the pedestrianised riverfront offers a medley of experiences, from delightful culinary ventures to the awe-inspiring Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda. The city also holds a mirror to the tragic past, with the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum serving as a sombre testament to the horrors of the Khmer Rouge era, urging visitors to ponder and pay respects to the lives lost.

Next, you’ll find yourself in Siem Reap, the gateway to the enigmatic remnants of the Khmer Empire nestled within the Angkor Archaeological Park. While Angkor Wat stands as a crown jewel, the surrounding temples, each a sentinel of history, beckon with stories etched in stone. Witness the grandeur of Bayon Temple, be enthralled by the nature-reclaimed Ta Prohm, and marvel at the carvings adorning Banteay Srei. Every sunrise here promises a new revelation, bringing to life tales from awe-inspiring past.

As your journey meanders into Vietnam, the floating market of Cai Be awaits, offering snapshots of daily life on the waters. Although modernization leaves its marks, the beauty of the canals and surroundings remains unscathed. Ho Chi Minh City welcomes you with open arms, inviting you to discover a fusion of colonial elegance and modern hustle and bustle. Wander through streets that resonate with history and pulsate with life, where spiritual sanctuaries coexist with soaring high-rises, and culinary adventures await at every corner.

Your cruise reaches a serene climax amidst the French colonial charm of Sa Dec. As you walk through the streets adorned with blossoms, the narrative of Marguerite Duras comes alive at the Huynh Thuy Le Old House, an enduring emblem of a love story that transcended boundaries and found immortality in the pages of “The Lover”.
