For this cruise, we have carefully selected the boat 'Le Cochinchine'.
The boat "Le Cochinchine" was built according to the model of traditional rice transport boats that sail on the Mekong Delta. It has 2 decks: a main deck and an upper deck (75m2) which will offer you a breathtaking view of the Mekong and its river activities. Each cabin has a private bathroom with a hot shower and air conditioning.
Note:
The price is based on a group of 2 travelers sharing a cabin on the boat.
The programs are indicative.
