Aqua Mekong
Step aboard the Aqua Mekong, a stylish and intimate river ship offering a luxurious way to explore Southeast Asia. Purpose-built in 2014 and measuring just over 62 metres in length, the vessel welcomes only 40 guests, ensuring a highly personalised and exclusive experience.
With 20 elegantly designed suites—each a spacious 30 square metres—you’ll enjoy floor-to-ceiling views of life along the Mekong River, plush king-size beds, and contemporary comforts inspired by five-star resorts. Choose from suites with or without private balconies, all crafted with local materials that reflect the rich culture of the region.
The onboard experience is every bit as immersive as the journey itself. Unwind in the indoor or outdoor lounge, soak in the river views from the top-level Observation Deck, or take a dip in the bow-side plunge pool. Whether sipping Vietnamese iced coffee between excursions or relaxing with a good book, the Aqua Mekong offers a serene sanctuary from which to watch the wonders of Vietnam and Cambodia drift by.
