There is nothing tame about the Mekong, and the itinerary of every cruise is subject to river conditions, including floodwaters, low water levels, and morning fog.

Our crew is highly experienced, and our vessel is powerfully built but if navigating conditions prompt safety concerns, programs may be amended.

Luang Prabang-Vientiane trip

There are many options for an amazing sail along the Mekong River. Only a small group of about 20 persons were on the boat. We therefore had a terrific time and enough room to unwind and take in the scenery downstream. We were accompanied by a kind and accommodating guide who was prepared to assist any visitor.
With stops at towns, caverns, and other noteworthy locations, the program was engaging and well-planned. We stopped at Pakbeng, which has a variety of lodging options, eateries, and pubs. With the Lao people's kindness, this is a fantastic introduction to Laos. To experience the splendor of the Mekong River, I heartily suggest this cruise.

Best way to travel around Luang Prabang

We thoroughly enjoyed our six-day sail in Luang Prabang. The ship was outfitted with really comfy seats, a clean washroom, and a pleasant ambiance. Viewing the scenery of the Mekong from a traditional boat like this was one of our trip's highlights. The meal was also amazing. Highly recommended, especially if you aren't ready for public boats or can't afford the pricey cruise.

Vientiane - Luang Prabang via Mekong Sun, 6 days

Laos is a wonderful country, and we had a dream come true: a trip along the Mekong River. There was little information, and we had trouble identifying a cruise line. There were few options. Rosie from Bestprice Travel booked this ship and land vacation of Laos for us. We did not have anything to complain about. Amazing beauty along the river, and a pleasant cruise, however modest. Like Mekong Sun's meals and trips.
