About AQUA MEKONG
AQUA MEKONG - Through the Heart of the Mekong
Aqua Mekong offers an extraordinary journey through the heart of Cambodia and Vietnam, blending modern luxury with deep cultural immersion. With just 20 river-facing suites and a design that invites the outside in, the vessel provides an intimate front-row seat to life along the Mekong. Guests gain exclusive access to remote villages, temples, and markets via a private fleet of tenders, with twice-daily excursions led by expert guides.
Interior living - A Cool Retreat
Aqua Mekong’s indoor spaces are also designed to complement life on the river. On the observation deck, the lounge and bar provide a cool, inviting space to unwind, while a cinema room is available for movie nights underway. A river-facing gym with full-height windows makes workouts more enjoyable, and the library and games room offer a comfortable space for reading or a friendly match of foosball. The second-deck dining room delivers refined regional cuisine in a stylish setting, while the boutique showcases locally crafted pieces.
Accommodation - A Room With a View
Aqua Mekong’s 20 river-facing suites offer a restful retreat, each with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that bring the Mekong into full view. Guests can choose between suites with a private balcony and exterior daybed or those with an interior lounge-style daybed that converts into an additional bed. Every suite features a California king-size bed, configurable as twins, a walk-in rainforest shower, dual sinks and a large wardrobe. Four sets of interconnecting suites provide flexibility for families or guests seeking extra space, and all enjoy the quiet luxury of hardwood interiors, premium fittings, and fully air-conditioned comfort.
Exterior living - Watch The World Drift By
Aqua Mekong’s outdoor decks are designed for watching the world drift by. The shaded bow lounge is a favourite gathering spot by day, perfect for enjoying the breeze with a cocktail in hand, while the open-air cinema and stargazing sessions create a magical ambiance after dark. A spacious infinity plunge pool provides welcome relief from the tropical heat, offering sweeping views of the Mekong from beneath a protective canopy. These thoughtfully designed areas strike a balance between sociable spaces and quiet moments.
Explore - Built For Discovery
Aqua Mekong is built for exploration, with daily guided excursions included to uncover the rich history and vibrant cultures of Vietnam and Cambodia. Guests can venture further by kayak or bicycle, or hop aboard one of four tenders for an up-close look at life along the riverbanks. Each outing is expertly led, offering a deeper, more personal connection to the Mekong’s people, traditions, and landscapes.
Crew - At Your Service
The crew onboard Aqua Mekong ensure an exceptional service for an unforgettable stay. If the preference is to stay aboard, guests can relax their mind and body in one of two spa treatment rooms or indulge their taste buds in a cooking class from the talented chef, with menus curated by Aqua Mekong's world-renowned executive chef David Thompson.
