Need an escape and an exceptional escape? The Mekong, this mythical river in Southeast Asia, flows through 6 countries over almost 5,000 km: Vietnam, Thailand, China, Laos, Cambodia and Burma. Cruising is here again a way to travel differently, allowing you to discover during the same stay the historic cities and monuments, the wonderful bays like Halong... From Tibet to Vietnam, the tenth longest river in the world gives life to thousands of legends and feeds no less than 70 million inhabitants. In its bosom would have been born Nagas (mythical beings half-snake, half-man who guard the treasures of nature) and Nereids (marine nymphs); some of them may still inhabit its bottoms...
A border river for some, a nourishing river for others, the one traditionally called "Mae Khong" (which means "Mother of all rivers") is sometimes turbulent, sometimes calm, before flowing into the South China Sea, watering a vast delta where no less than nine estuaries gather.
The Mekong is the heart of Southeast Asia, confidential on some parts of its course (in Cambodia and Laos, in particular) or taken by tourists on other more commonplace portions (in Vietnam or Thailand, for example).
During this cruise between immemorial temples and ancestral villages, in the middle of the fields where buffaloes shake and children play with a smile on their faces, you can let yourself be guided by the sweetness of life and hospitality of the countries you cross.
Let yourself be guided on this timeless journey, in this delightful intrusion into unknown lands where each step will bring you its share of wonders and surprises. To each city, to each country its own specificity and atmosphere; all this accompanied by the rhythm of a river that has always rocked the hearts of its inhabitants.
