Mekong Eyes Classic
Set Sail Through the Mekong Delta in Comfort on the Mekong Eyes Classic
Experience the charm of the Mekong Delta in style aboard the Mekong Eyes Classic, a vessel that perfectly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern convenience. Originally a classic rice barge, this 39-meter-long and 8.5-meter-wide cruiser has been thoughtfully transformed using premium-quality wood and elegant décor created by local artisans from the Mekong region.
Why is it called Mekong Eyes?
In the Mekong Delta, it is customary to paint eyes on the bow of a boat during a special “eye-opening” ceremony—a symbolic gesture to ensure safe journeys, good fortune, and an alert crew. Inspired by this tradition, the Mekong Eyes Classic brings cultural authenticity to your travel experience. With around 250 square meters of space, the ship can comfortably host up to 28 guests, offering an atmosphere akin to a floating boutique hotel.
Relax in Elegant Cabins
The vessel features 14 tastefully designed twin and double cabins, each equipped with a private bathroom (including a hot-water shower), air conditioning, and a wardrobe for your convenience. Large windows in every room offer sweeping views of the river, so you can enjoy the ever-changing scenery of the Delta right from the comfort of your bed.
14 Deluxe Cabins
- Private bathrooms
- Panoramic window with river view
- Spa-branded amenities
- Daily free mineral water, unlimited tea and coffee available
