The 12th longest river in the world, the Mekong’s 2702-mile expanse and overflowing richness make it one of Earth’s greatest waterways.
Joining numerous countries together, including China, Myanmar, Cambodia and Vietnam, it’s played a part in connecting Southeast Asia’s many people, landscapes and cultures from its beginning in the Tibetan Himalayas through to the Golden Triangle and onto its intricate delta.
Fittingly translating to Mother of Water, the Mekong not only nourishes the sight-seeker’s soul, it’s a lifeline for the millions of people who live near its banks. Sustaining agriculture, fisheries, and transportation, it has a vital role in supporting local communities.
And speaking of community, it’s a river that’s full of life, with diverse people, cities and cultures lining its length. Old meets new here, a seamless blend of ancient temples in Angkor Wat to Saigon’s bustling cityscape, with enough mesmerising scenery, amazing food and storied history to treat your travel bug with – whatever you’re looking to experience while you’re here.
A journey with contrasts and curiosity at every turn, the Mekong is a true marvel, expanding horizons with every second spent gliding on its waters.
