The Mekong, Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia

Trace the pulse of Southeast Asia along the timeless current of the Mekong – a river that has carried empires, beliefs, and daily life through centuries of change. This newly enhanced journey deepens its roots with a luxurious three-night cruise aboard the Aqua Mekong, where every stateroom opens to the river and every day invites intimate connection with its people and pace of everyday life. On land, linger longer in legendary cities – Hanoi's tree-lined boulevards and Confucion temples, Luang Prabang's gilded wats, Siem Reap's jungle-draped stone kingdoms, Phnom Penh's regal French avenues, and the restless energy of Ho Chi Minh City. Along the river, life reveals itself slowly: monks chat from hilltop pagodas, mat weavers work beside shifting reeds, floating villages ride and drift with the tides and travelers passing along. Take a bike ride through rice paddies, step into homes fragrant of jackfruit and song, or simply watch the dusk settle over lotus ponds from your private suite. What emerges is a portrait of Indochina not frozen in time, but richly alive – resilient, graceful, and ever flowing forward.
