The Mekong River Cruise - where it takes place and when to go

The Mekong is about 4350 km long. It flows through China, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. It rises at Mount Guozongmucha in China and discharges into the Pacific Ocean. The best time for a Mekong River Cruise is in the months of November to February.

Mekong River Cruises - cities and tourist attractions

The Mekong River Cruise takes you to the capital city of the People's Republic of Laos: Vientiane, with its enormous landmark, the "Pha That Luang". The royal temple of "Wat Ho Prakeo" and the night market are also very much worth visiting.

In the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh, you will find a wealth of architectural masterpieces which lend this city its particular charm.These include the 19th century royal palace and the "Phsar Thmei" central market, built in Art Déco style.

If your Mekong River Cruise should take you to the Thai city of Nong Khai, we recommend that you make the time to gain an impression of the quaint atmosphere and city life, which has been unaffected by tourist developments. Of particular cultural interest is the imposing "Wat Pho Chai" temple with its golden Buddha statue. The "Sala Kaeo Ku" park, which is embellished with enormous sculptures, is an oasis of peace where you can really relax.

The economic hub of Vietnam, Ho-Chi-Minh City, is a destination characterised by lively goings-on. Numerous traditional markets present an opportunity to stroll around and browse. The mighty cathedral of Notre Dame, built during French colonial rule between 1877 and 1883, is an altogether more contemplative place.
