Phnompenh – Border crossing – Tan Chau
Activities: Cruise along Mekong Channel, set off to Vietnamese border for the requisite cross border paperwork, optional activities can be made
Meal: Lunch, Dinner
“Life on Mekong River”
In the morning, we are captivated by a comprehensive lecture on Cambodia’s modern history.
The cruise liner then sets sail for a lazy day of cruising along the main Mekong Channel. As this is an international shipping route, you will witness large commercial ships plying this route. Later, in the afternoon, we set off to the Vietnamese border for the requisite cross border paperwork. As the process tends to take some time, we bask in the glow of the afternoon sun on the Sundeck, pamper ourselves silly at the Spa, or sharpen our culinary skills with the Heritage Line’s Cambodian and Vietnamese cuisine cooking class.
Lunch and dinner are included. The Ship anchors midstream overnight in Tan Chau.
Tan Chau – My An Hung – Sa Dec
Activities: A short excursion in Tan Chau, visit fish farm, set off for My An Hung village, cross a monkey bridge and see seasonal vegetable fields
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
“Breakfast at the balcony”
Welcome to the fish sanctuary of Vietnam. We begin our day with a hearty breakfast at the Dining Hall or at your private balcony. We will brace ourselves for a short excursion in Tan Chau, a pleasant town near the Cambodian border with sizeable Chinese, Kinh and Khmer communities. We will start the trip by a traditional vehicle called “ xeloi” to local market and get to a local boat to visit fish farm and back to the Ship (or opposite). Here you will see the daily life of Vietnamese people in Mekong. Lunch on board.
In the afternoon, we will set off for My An Hung Village. Passengers walk to the family house through the vegetable garden. We will cross a monkey bridge and see seasonal vegetable fields. Then gather at the family’s house to taste tea with honey with local delicacies and fruits before back to the Ship to set off for Sa Dec in the late afternoon.
Breakfast, lunch & dinner are included. Overnight in Sa Dec.
Cai Be - Sa Dec - My Tho
Activities: Sampan to Binh Thanh Island, arrive in Cai Be, explore floating market, stunning landscapes along the Mekong Delta, cruise to My Tho
Meal: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
“Vietnamese floating market”
In the morning, we embark a traditional sampan (a flat bottomed traditional Vietnamese wooden boat) to tour Binh Thanh Island and its man-made canals. Here, every villager is involved in the process of growing and processing water hyacinths into natural fiber floor mats and rattan baskets.
After lunch on board, the Ship arrives in Cai Be. The tour starts with a visit to Cai Be’s boisterous and colorful floating market where traders gather in a cacophonous congregation. During the languid ride, we discover breathtaking landscapes along the river and quaff the rustic life on the Mekong Delta. The evergreen islands along the Mekong River remain unknown to many people. The cruise will halt intermittently to allow us to observe how rice paste, rice cookies and coconut candies are made, along with the Longan fruit drying process. We then board the Ship for a tranquil evening cruise towards My Tho. A wonderful farewell party awaits us on the terrace deck.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included. Overnight in My Tho.
