4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS
AQUA MEKONG DISCOVERY CRUISE
PACKAGE HIGHLIGHTS
A traveler cruising the Mekong is in close pursuit of a glorious past, retracing significant human accomplishments and cultural highs. From the flourishing of the Khmer empire from the 9th to 15th century from to the prominence of Theravada Buddhism in present-day Cambodia and Vietnam, this is one of the few cultural destinations on Earth that’s best explored on a river voyage. Aqua Expeditions is the only Mekong cruise that provides complimentary flight extensions to Siem Reap during the low water season.
AQUA MEKONG DISCOVERY CRUISE
Day 1 – Cambodia: Phnom Penh
Arrive to a warm welcome over custom sundowners like the Salted Watermelon Crush with Thai basil. Celebrate the onward journey towards the heart of this mighty river with a Khmer Apsara performance, an indigenous tradition memorialized on the temple walls at Angkor Wat.
Day 2 – Vietnam: Ka ́om Samnor-vinh Xuong Border Crossing – Chau Doc – My An Hung
Say ‘Good Morning, Vietnam’ as we sail towards Tan Chau, a vibrant border town where we take the local rickshaw called xe loi for a trip around town or pedal 18 kilometers on the peaceful island of Long Khanh. Visit a typical Mekong Delta village called My An Hung where we will walk through verdant plantations. Be invited to a local’s home to taste local fruits while hearing traditional folk songs performed by villagers, followed by a unique Unicorn dance. Biking option is also available for those who wish to explore on wheels.
Day 3 – Vietnam: Binh Thanh/sa Dec – Cai Be
Begin the day at Binh Thanh mat weaving village or opt to visit Sa Dec where we will peruse the vibrant market and see the famous house of Marguerite Duras’ legendary lover, Mr. Huynh Thuy Le. Continue downstream for Cai Be, zigzagging in our sampan past lone fishermen on their long tail boats. Later, our skiffs moor at a wooden pier. Here in Cai Be, walk or bike ride among high-roofed open courtyard houses, some dating back more than 100 years, and currently inhabited by gracious locals who will invite us to glimpse their property.
Day 4 – Vietnam: My Tho – Ho Chi Minh
After a hearty breakfast, bid farewell to Aqua Mekong. En route to Ho Chi Minh, we stop at Vinh Trang Pagoda, one of the largest Mahayana Buddhist temples in the region. You will notice the mixed architectural style and see three large buddha statues plus an impressive collection of bonsai trees.
