In the morning, our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer you to the Mekong Princess at Saigon Port (05 Nguyen Tat Thanh, District 4) for embarkation. Please be ready between 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM.

Once aboard, you'll receive a safety briefing at the Ramvong Lounge and a warm welcome from the Vietnamese and Cambodian crew. After departure, enjoy lunch while cruising along the Saigon River. The ship will sail through the Saigon, Soai Rap, Nuoc Man, Vam Co, and Cho Gao rivers into the Mekong River.

Later, relax with crafted cocktails as you watch the sunset and sampans pass by. A traditional Vietnamese “A La Carte” dinner will be served in the Indochine restaurant.

In the morning, sampans will take you through a mangrove-lined channel. You'll try the local "xe lam" (three-wheeler) to visit a coconut candy maker, followed by a walk through a village orchard where you can taste fresh fruits. Afterward, enjoy a boat ride through narrow creeks lined with Nipah palms before returning to the ship.

This afternoon, the ship sails through a less-visited area of the Mekong Delta to Hoang Dieu Harbor near Can Tho city, known as Tay Do.

After an early dinner, take a bus to explore Can Tho city, including a tour of the night market. You’ll have time to explore the charming city before returning to the ship, which docks overnight.
