Mekong River Cruises

Perfect for getting a taste of south west Asia’s diverse landscape, our collection of Mekong River cruises guarantee the ultimate river cruise experience, promising relaxation and exploration in equal measure. On any Mekong River cruise you will pass through some of the most naturally beautiful scenery anywhere in the world, past ancient temples, bustling villages and dense rainforests all whilst relaxing on the deck of your luxury river vessel. At various points, you will be invited to explore carefully selected ports of call on foot, with an option to further enhance these experiences with lovingly-crafted tours and excursions.

Measuring over 3050 miles in length, the Mekong River is one of the largest rivers in Asia, flowing through China and Indochina towards the South China Sea. In total, the Mekong River passes through 6 countries, including Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Due to the river’s size, cruises on the Mekong River generally vary in terms of length, with most lines offering 7-16 night itineraries.

Like other popular river routes in Asia (such as the Yangtze), cruises on the Mekong River are offered by a number of specialist river operators so you’ll have plenty of choice if you’re looking to shop around and find the line that is right for you. At The Cruise Line we recommend companies such as Pandaw River Cruises and AMA Waterways to our clients as great options for those looking to enjoy an Asia river cruise for the first time. You’ll find that all the modern vessels sailing the Mekong come equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, sumptuous dining options and first class customer service.
