Mekong Eyes River Cruise 

Spend a night aboard a beautifully converted rice barge.

Take an overnight cruise to sail along the Mekong Delta and learn more about local life on the riverside. You’ll stay in one of just 14 cabins aboard Mekong Eyes, a traditional yet beautifully reimagined rice barge, each with a private bathroom.

You’ll disembark to explore a local village and the fragrant orchards that surround it, re-joining the boat in time for sunset and dinner. A second day takes you on a sampan to explore smaller parts of the waterways and meet the families that live and work here.
