Itinerarios de cruceros

Day 1Luang Prabang Boarding - Pak Ou Caves

Morning

At 10:00, your journey begins as you step aboard your comfortable Laotian cruise ship. Settle into your well-appointed cabin, unpack, and prepare for a 4-day voyage into one of Southeast Asia’s most untouched river landscapes.

The cruise then heads upstream to the legendary Pak Ou Caves, home to thousands of Buddha statues placed by pilgrims over centuries. From here, choose between a jungle trek through lush forest leading to Ban Muang Keo Village or a short boat transfer for a more leisurely experience.

Arriving in Ban Muang Keo, gain insight into local life with a visit to a traditional village home. Learn the ancient craft of distilling Lao-Lao, Laos’ iconic rice whiskey, guided by Miss Somechan Khonpachith, a master distiller who will share the secrets of this time-honored process, followed by a tasting experience.

Afternoon & Evening

After the village visit, return to the ship as it continues cruising upstream toward Oudomxay Province, passing the Pak Ou dam construction site along the way.

As the river scenery unfolds, relax onboard and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of the Mekong. Spend the evening at leisure—unwinding on deck, savoring dinner, and taking in the peaceful rhythm of life along the river as the ship sails deeper into northern Laos.

The raw power of the mighty Mekong lends the voyage the spirit of a true river expedition.

Viaje de Luang Prabang-Vientiane

Hay muchas opciones para una increíble navegación a lo largo del río Mekong. Solo un pequeño grupo de unas 20 personas estaba en el barco. Por lo tanto, nos lo pasamos de maravilla y tuvimos suficiente espacio para relajarnos y disfrutar del paisaje río abajo. Nos acompañó un guía amable y servicial que estaba preparado para ayudar a cualquier visitante.
Con paradas en pueblos, cavernas y otros lugares dignos de mención, el programa fue atractivo y estuvo bien planificado. Paramos en Pakbeng, que tiene una variedad de opciones de alojamiento, restaurantes y bares. Con la amabilidad de la gente de Laos, esta es una fantástica introducción a Laos. Para disfrutar del esplendor del río Mekong, recomiendo encarecidamente este crucero.

La mejor manera de viajar por Luang Prabang

Disfrutamos muchísimo nuestra navegación de seis días en Luang Prabang. El barco estaba equipado con asientos muy cómodos, un baño limpio y un ambiente agradable. Contemplar el paisaje del Mekong desde un barco tradicional como este fue uno de los aspectos más destacados de nuestro viaje. La comida también fue increíble. Muy recomendable, especialmente si no estás listo para los barcos públicos o no puedes permitirte el costoso crucero.

Vientiane - Luang Prabang vía Mekong Sun, 6 días

Laos es un país maravilloso y teníamos un sueño hecho realidad: un viaje por el río Mekong. Había poca información y tuvimos problemas para identificar una línea de cruceros. Había pocas opciones. Rosie de Bestprice Travel reservó estas vacaciones en barco y tierra en Laos para nosotros. No teníamos nada de qué quejarnos. Belleza asombrosa a lo largo del río y un crucero agradable, por modesto que sea. Como las comidas y los viajes del Mekong Sun.
