The luxury of unpacking once

No daily packing, no transfers, no hauling cases — your suite is your home for the journey, and the destinations come to you. For anyone who finds multi-stop tours tiring, a river cruise removes the very thing that makes travel hard work.

Indochina at the perfect pace

Floating markets, riverside villages, the temples of Angkor and the elegance of colonial Saigon unfold gently, with expert guides for the excursions you choose and your deck to retreat to whenever you wish. An Easy 🌿 pace by design.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a Mekong cruise good for older travellers?

You unpack only once, there are no tiring transfers, and the pace is gentle — the river does the travelling for you. Excursions are optional, so you can be as active or as restful as you like each day. It is one of our most popular choices for the over 60s and 70s.

How long is a typical luxury Mekong cruise?

Most cruises run 7–8 nights between Vietnam and Cambodia, and combine beautifully with a few nights on land in Siem Reap for Angkor Wat or in Ho Chi Minh City. We tailor the full itinerary around you.
