The river vessel Mekong Sun is the most comfortable ship capable of mastering the wild sections of the upper Mekong. Between Vientiane, Luang Prabang and the Golden Triangle, the Mekong Sun is the only cabin cruiser available.

Accommodation and service is top level and guests enjoy a very exclusive yet casual traveling experience, while they reside in comfortable cabins and behold previously inaccessible wonders of the Mekong. A selection of Asian and continental food is provided throughout the cruise. Special requirements can be catered for and wine, beer as well as spirituous beverages are available.

On the Mekong Sun there will be neither captain’s dinner nor any entertaining games like bingo. Rather than that, guests will go on exciting offshore excursions and enjoy a program with profound travel information in form of presentations, speeches and films on relevant topics. Among many others, the French Mekong Expedition of the 1860s, the daily life of a Buddhist novice or the plants and fruits of the Mekong region will be the subjects.
The exclusive river vessel Mekong Sun (built in 2006) enables you to go on a comfortable journey, which seemed impossible for ages: over 450 miles of traveling along fantastic river landscapes, passing by World Heritage Sites and aboriginal villages. The unique Mekong river cruises let you discover some of the last unknown regions of South-East Asia. Safe and comfortable traveling with only 28 guests on board of the exclusive river vessel Mekong Sun is guaranteed, while you watch the incredible landscapes of this partly untamed river pass by.


The upper Mekong is one of the most difficult rivers in the world to navigate. Your comfortable cruise ship Mekong Sun masters tight gorges, labyrinths of sandbanks and mounts violent chutes. Water levels are prone to drop about 2 m overnight. On this part of the Mekong quiet and calm parts of the river alternate with most dramatic and exciting shore sceneries: Tropical lush green mountains, impressive rock formations and secluded villages along the river banks.
Your journey includes visits to the lovely UNESCO World Heritage Site Luang Prabang, one of the most beautiful towns in South-East Asia, traveling along the secluded and impressive landscapes in northern Laos and into the once notorious region of the Golden Triangle. As of today, the Mekong Sun is the only cabin cruiser sailing between Thai Chiang Saen and the Laotian capital Vientiane. Guests can lean back and indulge themselves unworried during this extraordinary trip. With 14 exclusive passenger cabins and high quality full board service, the Mekong Sun is perfectly suited for traveling in small groups with a most unique character.
Kindly note: Every river cruise on the upper Mekong is a pioneering experience and is subject to ever changing river conditions varying from flood waters to shallows. Therefore, changes to the itinerary or schedule are not unusual and each journey will be individually adapted to ensure that all highlights are included.
