Cruise the Mekong Delta in Style on the R/V Bassac
Step aboard the elegant R/V Bassac, a handcrafted wooden river vessel designed for luxury cruising through the enchanting Mekong Delta. With private en-suite cabins, a spacious sun deck, and a top-tier restaurant and bar, this cruise offers the perfect mix of comfort and cultural immersion.
As you navigate through the lush canals and wide rivers of southern Vietnam, the Bassac will occasionally anchor, allowing you to transfer to smaller boats for off-the-beaten-path excursions. Visit charming local villages, explore cottage industries, and engage with residents to discover how life flows with the rhythms of the river.
Back aboard, enjoy a delicious onboard dinner as the Bassac continues its scenic glide through the delta at sunset. Wake up the next morning to the peaceful sound of water and a fresh breakfast served with river views before setting off for a highlight of the trip—visiting the floating markets, the bustling heart of commerce and culture in the region.
Cruising the Mekong aboard the R/V Bassac is one of the most memorable ways to experience southern Vietnam, combining relaxation with deep cultural encounters.
