Itineraries
We greet you in the morning at our Saigon welcome lounge, where you can relax with a coffee while our team handles check-in. Leaving the city's bustle behind, we journey 70 km south to My Tho to board your luxurious floating home.
As we set sail, enjoy a delicious lunch buffet while gliding upstream. As twilight casts a golden glow over the Mekong Delta, mingle with fellow travelers over canapés and prosecco at our official welcome.
During dinner, we anchor near Tan Phong Island, offering a first glimpse of tomorrow’s adventure. End the evening with a classic film or documentary in our onboard cinema.
Morning Excursion:
Wake up to the serene beauty of the Mekong Delta at dawn. Start your day with a revitalizing Tai Chi session before enjoying a lavish breakfast buffet. A local boat takes us to Cai Be, where we visit a workshop to observe the traditional production of rice paper, rice cookies, rice wine, and coconut candies. From there, we continue to Tan Phong Island, where we visit a local family’s fruit garden to sample tropical fruits. A buggy ride through the island provides a glimpse into daily life, with a stop at a home specializing in water hyacinth weaving.
Optional Morning Excursions:
- Cycling (The Jahan only, extra cost): A 12 km bike ride through fruit orchards and along canals, stopping at a handicraft workshop and a farmer’s home for a fruit tasting.
Afternoon Excursion:
Relax on board as we sail upstream toward the Sa Dec region, anchoring near Binh Thanh Island. This island is home to communities that cultivate water hyacinths. Stroll through the village, witness the traditional mat-making process, and meet a local elderly couple who enjoy sharing stories with visitors.
Optional Afternoon Excursion:
- Cycling (The Jahan only, extra cost): A 7 km bike ride through scenic backstreets, rice paddies, and the weaving village of Long Ta, known for its handcrafted scarves.
Before dinner, join an engaging presentation about life on the Mekong Delta as the ship sails toward Tan Chau for the night.
Morning Excursion:
Disembark for an immersive exploration of Tan Chau aboard traditional "xelois" rickshaws. Your personal driver leisurely guides you through bustling streets, passing workshops, street vendors, and local shops. At the town’s market, experience the lively morning trade before visiting a Cao Dai temple, where a priest shares insights into this unique religion. The tour concludes at a local fish farm, where we learn about the challenges and techniques of fish farming in the Mekong region.
Optional Morning Excursions:
- Cycling (The Jahan only, extra cost): A 12 km bike ride through a small island near Tan Chau, passing mango farms, lush green paths, and fruit gardens. Stop at a market for a chat with vendors, then visit a frog farm and a high-quality mat weaving workshop.
Afternoon at Leisure:
As the ship sails toward the Vietnamese-Cambodian border, enjoy a relaxing afternoon on board. This is the perfect time for a massage, sunbathing on the terrace deck, or unwinding on your private balcony. Visit the bridge for a chat with the captain or join a culinary workshop to deepen your knowledge of Khmer cuisine.
By evening, we arrive in Phnom Penh (docking mid-stream or at the pier). Enjoy onboard entertainment or relax in the privacy of your cabin as immigration procedures are completed.
Welcome to Phnom Penh, the "Paris of the East," where history and charm blend seamlessly with modern life. Enjoy your final breakfast on board before disembarking. We hope this journey has left you with unforgettable memories and newfound friendships. Farewell, and may the Mighty Mekong's stories stay with you!
