Explore the beautiful countryside of the Mekong Delta and relax on a Mekong Eyes cruise boat, visiting the colourful floating markets and getting a taste of the region.
Combining local boat-building traditions with modern comforts, the Mekong Eyes fleet consists of three types of boats:
- the spacious and comfortable Mekong Eyes with 15 cabins,
- a fleet of Dragon Eyes, luxurious 2 cabin cruisers for a more private Mekong cruise
- and the very private Gecko Eyes house boats with only one cabin each.
What’s in a name? The name Mekong Eyes comes from one of the traditional ceremonies performed on newly constructed boats called an “eye opening”. The eyes are painted on the bow for good luck, a wide-awake crew and safe journeys.
Choose a 3 or 4 day tour which feature cruise accommodation, shore excursions, an overnight hotel stay in Chau Doc and a speedboat ride into Cambodia. Begin with a road transfer from Saigon to the cruise boat and conclude on arrival at the jetty in Phnom Penh.
