RV Mekong Princess River Cruise
Inspired by French Colonial elegance, every suite has handcrafted furnishings and panoramic river views. Onboard, you can dine on seasonal European and Asian cuisine at the Indochine Restaurant, relax in the Ramvong Lounge, soak up the sun on the Sundeck or unwind at the Princess Spa.
Each day brings small-group excursions with local guides. You might glide through the Nipah palm creeks of Ben Tre, watch artisans craft conical hats, visit a village school at Angkor Ban or tour Phnom Penh by cyclo.
With warm, personal service and a strong commitment to the communities along the river, the Mekong Princess offers an unforgettable way to discover the heart of Vietnam and Cambodia.
About This Cruise
DRIFT THROUGH THE SOUL OF SOUTHEAST ASIAFew rivers show as many faces as the Mekong. In eight days aboard the Mekong Princess, you pass from the energy of Vietnam's delta to the calm of rural Cambodia. You sail from the heart of Saigon through floating markets, palm-lined creeks and flower villages.
After crossing the border, you reach Phnom Penh, then follow quiet river towns to Kampong Cham, the gateway to the temples of Angkor. Unlike most Mekong cruises, the Mekong Princess begins each upstream journey at Saigon Port itself. There is no road transfer to a distant embarkation point, so your cruise starts the moment you step aboard.

Day 8: Kampong Cham to Siem Reap
As the ship reaches its final destination, one final breakfast is served in the Indochine Restaurant—a leisurely buffet of fresh tropical fruits, warm pastries, and rich local flavors. Conversations drift like the current, mingling with memories of coconut groves, saffron-robed monks, and sampans gliding through morning mist. Soon, the Mekong Princess moors at Kampong Cham, and it is time to part with the vessel that has been your home, your window into another world. With luggage in hand and hearts a little fuller, guests disembark and board the awaiting motorcoach for the final leg of this journey. As the countryside rolls past—fields dotted with sugar palms and villages built on stilts—the road to Siem Reap opens ahead. Arrival at your hotel is expected by noon. Though the cruise ends, the Mekong continues—flowing, changing, and whispering through time.
