Exploring the Mekong River with Aqua Expeditions!

Set sail on a remarkable year-end journey along the Mekong River, where luxury and adventure seamlessly come together. Cruise through the heart of Southeast Asia, discovering vibrant riverside villages, ancient temples, and lush landscapes. Onboard, enjoy gourmet dining, bespoke excursions, and world-class amenities as you glide through the rich cultural heritage of Cambodia and Vietnam. From sunrise yoga on deck to guided explorations of hidden treasures, Aqua Expeditions offers the perfect blend of relaxation and discovery. With an array of itineraries to choose from, join Intriq Journey and Aqua Expeditions as we explore the wonders of Southeast Asia’s longest river.

Our 3-night Mekong Discovery Cruise offers travelers with limited time a richly rewarding adventure, either heading upriver in Cambodia by exploring the Tonle Sap River, or downriver between Phnom Penh (PNH), the eye-opening capital of Cambodia and Ho Chi Minh (SGN) in bustling Vietnam. Start the day with a guided meditation on a sundeck overlooking the emerald greenery around the river, then travel in luxury amidst captivating landscapes along the Mekong river, from the Silver Pagoda and Art Deco of the Cambodian capital to the fascinating, modern Vietnam. Sail into the agrarian heartlands of the Khmer and Vietnamese people, little touched by the modern world, making indelible memories as you cycle and kayak far, far off the beaten path.

Delve deeper into these captivating landscapes on the 4-night Mekong Explorer Cruise, concentrating solely on Cambodia’s timeless pastoral serenity or traveling back in time as we sail upriver from Ho Chi Minh (SGN) and the thriving Mekong Delta past floating villages, colonial vestiges and gilded pagodas to the Art Deco landmarks of Phnom Penh. Enjoy twice-daily excursions on bike, kayak and guided visits to Mekong River’s dynamic riverside markets. Explore the otherwise inaccessible locations on our custom designed, ergonomic and private speedboats, each sitting up to 10 guests. The Mekong River acts as storyteller as you encounter splendidly distinct Khmer and Vietnamese cultures en route. Back on board, watch the Mekong’s enduring charms unfold from the daybed alongside your five star suite’s wall of windows or on your private deck. For more details….

Joining our full 7-night Mekong Expedition Cruise allows us to share with you all the mysteries and wonders we have discovered between the Mekong River, Tonle Sap Lake and among the diverse cultures thriving in our midst. During the period from December to August, our program includes much more time on the Cambodia stretch of the Mekong and along the Tonle Sap River, a more rural and scenic area of Cambodia, untouched by tourists. You will have plenty of opportunities to explore, from daily biking options (10 – 15km), kayaking, to relaxing excursions on shaded tuk-tuk and experience the authentic life of people around the river. Passengers who travel with us from August to November experience the full history of Mekong life, meeting Khmer farmers, Buddhist monks and our entrepreneurial friends in Vietnam’s wet markets along the way. Travel leisurely back in time across this legendary landscape and visit the Tonle Sap Lake, a spectacular freshwater lake that that is inhabited by more than three million people living around its bank.
