About Mekong Eyes Classic Cruise

Built from the finest quality wood and elegantly handcrafted by skilled artisans of the Mekong Delta, the vessel preserves the region’s rich boat-building heritage while offering the charm of a floating hotel.
Its name comes from the centuries-old “eye-opening” ceremony, where protective eyes are painted on the bow to bring good fortune and ensure safe journeys along the river.

Just been to the snake rice vine place. Really enjoying it, and Chook is great.
Hi Mia, yes, we both tried the wine. Never again. Having a great time.
Hi Anna, sorry for the late response. Being on the Mekong was great, indeed! Price performance was not so OK. The boat is very old and will be replaced next year. (Rooms are very small, you cannot even unpack a suitcase, it’s dripping from the ceiling, etc.) It would have been sufficient to stay there… MoreHi Anna, sorry for the late response. Being on the Mekong was great, indeed! Price performance was not so OK. The boat is very old and will be replaced next year. (Rooms are very small, you cannot even unpack a suitcase, it’s dripping from the ceiling, etc.) It would have been sufficient to stay there one night, because the main attraction to see the floating market was very disappointing. We arrived there when the market was nearly closed. The fellow travel guides (we had two, one for each day) only talked to one during the excursions. The two did not agree on the advance, so what was said was partly repeated. Less
The boat is very comfortable and relaxing.
Yes, we are enjoying it. The food is excellent.
The floating markets in Can Tho were underwhelming; I had read they are what they used to be, so that's no reflection on the tour.
The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. We will definitely recommend your company to our friends in Australia. Thanks again for all your help. Best regards.

We loved the Mekong River Cruise. Chook, the cruise director, was great at showcasing the local way of life. Excellent. Thank you for organising our tours, they all went without a hitch, so grateful. Hopefully, one day we will get to return to Vietnam; it is definitely on my daughter’s list for next year. Thank you again.
