Special Features Mekong Eyes Explorer Cruise

The most beautiful option to travel from Cambodia to Southern Vietnam — or vice versa — is to take the various waterways and therefore the traditional transport routes, where travelers can watch the hustle and bustle on the rivers and canals. The new Mekong Eyes Explorer is perfect for your individual river cruise (from 1 to 3 nights) on the northern route of the Mekong connecting Southern ... Read More

Our new boutique cruiser is designed to roam through the narrow and winding rivers and canals of the river system that cannot be accessed by the larger cruise boats. That way we can show you the hidden gems of the northern Mekong Delta.

A modern boutique cruiser with traditional materials

The cruise ship has 12 superior cabins that are all designed as outside cabins, slightly larger than the ones on the Mekong Eyes Classic. In addition to the deluxe cabins the cruiser has 4 suites, which are located on the upper deck and equipped with a private balcony. The interior design is using a lot of local materials and design patterns and is hand-crafted by local craft masters.

With its huge panorama windows that can be opened to enjoy the afternoon breeze, the restaurant of Mekong Eyes Explorer is a real highlight. Our local chefs pamper you with international dishes and local specialities.

Bar, Lounge and Restaurant

Recall your personal impressions of the day and meet fellow travelers to share your experiences while having some cool drinks at our bar — the perfect place to round off the day! Enjoy a cup of tea or a sundowner in the outdoor lounge, our bar area above the bridge, and enjoy the spectacular views over the mighty Mekong.

We have just finished the 3 night/4day cruise on the Mekong Eyes explorer. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend. The staff from the outset were super efficient and friendly.
They genuinely seem to care and Lee the guide regularly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best trip (eg remembering my husband loved noodle soup and arranging it at breakfast!). Lee was with us on the way from HCMC and explained various facts about the villages we passed etc. The organisation from start to finish was flawless.

We were very spoilt as only 3 of us (a German lady also joined us) rather than full capacity which is 32 but the boat is large and lots of communal space. We had a suite which was a reasonable size and had a lovely private terrace where we could sit with our evening G&t and watch river life (or the lightning!). The room was spotlessly clean, comfy bed and big shower.

We had a great time exploring the Mekong on the Mekong Eyes Explorer. The boat and crew were excellent!
