Mekong Delta River Cruise Highlights with APT Luxury Travel
Cities of Culture and Contrast
Your Mekong cruise in Vietnam and Cambodia takes you to some of Southeast Asia’s most captivating cities. You’ll cruise to Phnom Penh, where you can visit the Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda or take a sobering excursion to the Killing Fields to learn about Cambodia’s recent history. The gateway cities of your Mekong Delta cruise offer more discovery: Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, where colonial elegance meets modern vibrancy, and Siem Reap in Cambodia, your chance to experience the mystical Angkor temples.
Life Along the Water’s Edge
One of the great joys of a Mekong Delta river cruise is witnessing riverside life unfold at its unhurried pace. Board a smaller boat to navigate the tiny tributaries around Tan Chau, gliding past floating fish farms and colourful markets. Take a tuk tuk tour of Koh Pen, along shaded lanes lined with stilted houses, family-run shops and weaving workshops. In Wat Hanchey, walk to the hilltop pagoda for expansive Mekong Delta views. Crossing from Cambodia into Vietnam, feel the sense of two nations united by the same mighty river.
Flavours of the Mekong
Dining aboard the Mekong Serenity is a five-star celebration of Southeast Asian cuisine. Savour the fresh, balanced flavours of Cambodian and Vietnamese cooking: fragrant herbs, river fish, tropical fruit, and aromatic spices, culminating in the highlight of a spectacular degustation dinner in the elegant Indochine Restaurant. And you’ll join an onboard cooking workshop with expert chefs who bring local recipes to life. Each meal on your Mekong Delta cruise is a moment to savour the soulful and delicious culinary traditions of Vietnam and Cambodia.
Moments of Faith and Serenity
The spiritual heartbeat of the Mekong reveals itself in quiet temples and sacred rituals. In Oudong, receive a traditional Buddhist blessing, a profound ritual that embodies peace and reflection. Visit small village temples that resonate with the sound of chanting monks, and admire Cai Be’s French Gothic church, a striking reminder of colonial history and devotion. Beyond your Mekong Delta cruise, the grandeur of Angkor Wat awaits: timeless, powerful, and humbling. Each encounter invites contemplation and deepens your connection to the region’s deeply spiritual culture.
