The magnificent Mekong River connects incredible cities, untouched villages, and near-uncharted jungle territory. On your Laos vacation, travel in style on board the Mekong Sun, a 14-cabin boutique river cruiser, with numerous departures from 5 to 11 days.

There are few natural wonders like the Mekong River, and the Mekong Sun is a boutique ship perfectly calibrated for travel on this mighty river. With only 14 cabins, each with wood-paneling, hardwood floors, air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms and French balconies, the vessel offers ample privacy and also the opportunity for casual interaction with fellow travellers. Enjoy a cocktail while taking in spectacular views of the surrounding countryside from two viewing decks. Delicious Laotian as well as international food is served on board.
