ROMANCE OF A TRADITIONAL RIVER CRUISER
The aesthetics of a five star hotel. The romance of a traditional river cruiser. The right blend of sophisticated, on-board experiences, unforgettable on-shore adventures and scenic shoreline sights.
The Aqua Mekong covers all three aspects, with an élan all its own. Designed to accommodate just 40 guests in exclusive luxury, it has a dedication to modernity that includes floor to ceiling windows, an observation deck, a pool, an elegant spa, a cinema and a ‘destination’ restaurant. With an emphasis on the use of local, sustainable materials and natural textiles.
So you sail in sublime comfort, along the mighty Mekong. Gliding past flooded emerald forests and traditional villages standing on rickety bamboo stilts. You’ll see riverine wildlife and flocks of birds like painted storks and spot-billed pelicans. You’ll visit wing-tipped Chinese pagodas and enigmatic Buddhist monasteries on your way to the Mekong’s major cities and interesting towns. And you’ll take boat excursions to otherwise unreachable villages, floating markets, ancient temples and places to explore at your own pace, by bicycle.
