TMG – A four-star yacht that takes visitors to the Mekong Delta and Cambodia costs VND140 billion (~US$6 million) and has 35 river-view cabins, a pool, lounge bar, and luxury interiors.
The cruise was launched in 2019 by Victoria Mekong Cruises, a joint venture between Thien Minh, a Vietnamese hospitality group, and Wendy Wu Tours, a U.K. travel company.
The cruise departs from Victoria Can Tho Resort and carries tourists to some hidden gems in An Giang before heading to the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh.
Pham Huu Nghia, DOO of Victoria Mekong Cruise Company, said most guests are from wealthy countries such as Australia and the U.K.
The vessel has 16 cabins on the so-called River Deck, 17 on the Panorama Deck and two suites.
Each has a French window and private balcony that allow guests to admire people’s daily life on the Mekong River.
A three-day tour from Can Tho to Tan Chau in An Giang in a suite costs VND36.8 million (US$1,470) during the high season from October to March.
Deluxe river and panorama rooms cost VND17.8 and VND19.8 million.
A lounge bar onboard where guests are entertained with don ca tai tu (traditional southern Vietnamese music) performances at night.
Guests are offered free mineral water, soft drinks, tea, coffee, and local beers all day.
Alison, an Australian tourist who was with her husband on a tour in early April, said they were visiting Vietnam for three weeks and this was her first cruise on the Mekong.
“Great experience and beautiful landscapes. The vessel is so large with modern facilities.”
During the three-day-two-night journey, guests are taken by small boats to the Long Xuyen floating market, An Giang Market and Tiger Islet before heading to the border town of Tan Chau to explore a Cham silk weaving village and fish farming village on the Hau River.
Those choosing a longer trip go on to Phnom Penh in Cambodia.
