Mekong Delta River Cruises

Treat yourself to something exceptional - a memorable trip on the waterways of the vast Mekong Delta! The Mekong Eyes and Dragon Eyes are the perfect holiday vessels to cruise the Mekong River in style.

Unforgettable Mekong river cruises

Forget strenuous day-trips: Mekong Eyes is the first choice in on-board accommodation on the Mekong river. You wake up well rested in the morning and have plenty of time for extensive and authentic holiday impressions.

Our Mekong tours can be booked as round trips from Saigon, or you can extend your trip and combine your Mekong river cruise with an overland trip to Phnom Penh or the holiday island of Phu Quoc. We are happy to support you in planning your individual tour.

Glide through the lush green jungle and enjoy the rich diversity of vegetation and landscape. Get up close to the vivacious every-day life on the Mekong river: the rice harvest on the verdant fields, river families living on boats, children splashing in the water. Local merchant boats will offer you an abundance of fresh fruits, and the floating markets in Can Tho and Cai Be will take your breath away with their teeming life, razzle-dazzle of aromas and orchestra of sounds.

Relax and enjoy your Mekong river cruise

Stroll along one of the secluded canals of the mighty Mekong river and discover an exotic world of its own. As the sun goes down, enjoy a high-class dinner at our restaurant before retiring to the comfort of your cabin. Close your eyes and fall asleep to the gentle lapping of the waves on your Mekong boat.
