Plenty of shade is offered at the bow lounge area, thanks to Aqua Mekong’s iconic sun canopy. In the evenings, the Mekong’s iconic sunsets draws guests to the open-air decks.

Boutique

Supporting local craftsman, the boutique showcases the best artistry the Mekong region. This is the ideal place to take home souvenirs and memorabilia of superb quality and attention to detail.

Excursions

Mat-weaving

The village of Binh Thanh is the home of the intricate art of mat-weaving using natural materials, a skill passed down over the centuries. Thanks to improved materials and techniques over the years, the weavers of this town can create artisanal mats not found anywhere else.

Temple Visits

No trip to the Mekong would be complete without wandering through hundreds of awe-inspiring temples, including the preserved temples in the lost city of Angkor Wat. The largest religious structure in the world, this is the heart and soul of Cambodia, showcasing over a thousand Hindu and Buddhist temples, ranging from intricate Apsaras, hand carved into the sandstone walls, to serene and smiling stone faces of Buddha and still-intact temples wrapped in thick tree roots.

Floating Villages

A visit to Tonle Sap in the Mekong Delta is only available to travelers during the high-water season of mid-August to November, when the lake is accessible by river boat. It’s home to 170 floating villages which consist of a collection of stilted overwater huts that hover over the water. Guests on Aqua Mekong are introduced to local villagers and their unique way of life in a region where schools, churches, pagodas, and even the karaoke bar and police station all float.

The largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia, Tonle Sap nourished a population of more than one million at the height of the Khmer empire in the 12th century. At present, it continues to provide abundance as one of the most productive fishing lakes in the world, supporting over three million people and providing over 75 percent of Cambodia’s annual inland fish catch.

Silversmith Visit

Explore the silversmith villages of Koh Chen — located just 35 kilometers from Phnom Penh, and recognized by the big Buddha statue on its river banks — known for their fine craftsmanship. The intricate craft of silversmithing has been preserved by the local artisans for over 50 years. Keep an eye out for their famous silver bowls, regularly chosen by Cambodia’s king as gifts for visiting dignitaries.

Tuk-Tuk Rides

Explore the cities through tuk-tuk rides – a local form of three-wheeled transport, which offer one of the most convenient ways of getting around.

Bike Excursions

Aside from riding in tuk-tuks, the undulating elevation of the Mekong countryside is perfect for cycling. On the Aqua Mekong, guided cycling excursions are available on our expeditions up until the penultimate day. Top-of-the-line, all-terrain Cannondale bicycles sail with the ship, able to cater to all levels, as well as tackle any terrain in comfort and safety. No two bicycling tours in an itinerary are the same, so guests get to experience a different slice of Mekong life and culture with every ride.

Kayaking Excursions

As popular as cycling on the Mekong, kayaking has been a long-time favorite way for our guests to explore the Amazon River. Guests of the Aqua Mekong can now take advantage of eight double-kayaks throughout various locations in Cambodia. For example, kayaking in Oknha Tey, guests can paddle to see local silk-weavers at work, or kayak the Moat Khla region by Tonle Sap Lake and/or in the waterways in the Kampong Chnnang Province.

Skiffs

Four auxiliary aluminum launch boats with retractable canopy covers, each equipped with two low-emission four-stroke engines and maintaining constant radio communication with the main vessel, with a capacity of 10 passengers each.

Presentations onboard

Mekong Cruises

Culture and civilizations have flourished around great rivers throughout history and the Mekong is no exception.

While sailing on board the Aqua Mekong luxury cruise, discover rich heritage and traditions shaped by 2,000 years of human history. From the flourishing of the Khmer empire to the prominence of Theravada Buddhism in present-day Cambodia and Vietnam, this is one of the few cultural destinations on Earth that’s best explored through a river expedition. Embark on expert-led excursions: kayak to floating villages, discover historic Buddhist temples, and cycle along picturesque ricefields to explore monuments from the Khmer Empire.

The luxurious Aqua Mekong river boat cruise charts a path through the picturesque lower Mekong basin with expert guides on board. Follow in the footsteps of royalty aboard our award-winning vessel where a 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio and luxuriously designed cabins will give you a home away from home. Aqua Mekong luxury cruise provides a truly immersive and personalized experience in this culture-rich landscape. With year-round itineraries departing from Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, and Siem Reap, this is the only luxury Mekong river cruise that provides complimentary flight extensions to Siem Reap during the low water season.

Best time to visit the Mekong

The tropical climate of Cambodia and Vietnam means temperatures are warm year-round. Exploring these countries via a luxury Mekong river cruise is even more appealing as temperatures in the water can be two to five degrees Fahrenheit (one to three degrees Celsius) lower than on land. Excursions aboard the Aqua Mekong luxury river cruise are also organized to take advantage of pleasant weather during certain times of the day. Travelers will find that there’s always something fascinating to experience no matter the time of year they visit.
