Mekong Princess Cruises – Cruise Traveller

Welcome aboard the beautifully appointed French Colonial style Mekong Princess. Journey on the Mekong River from the wonders of Angkor to the thriving metropolises of Vietnam and let the crew lavish their famous hospitality on you, a very special guest. After all, there is nowhere in the world quite like the River Mekong, and there’s none like the Mekong Princess.



Your Mekong Princess

The Mekong Princess is a modern steel hulled ship, hand-finished in brass and teak, constructed by highly skilled shipbuilding craftsmen.


She embraces the classic ‘French Colonial Era’ in all fixtures and fittings. Mekong Princess is designed with an ultra-shallow draft, which enables her to navigate in very remote areas and shallow waterways.


Built in Saigon to international design and safety standards, Mekong Princess was launched in 2015 and is considered the best constructed and most elegant vessel plying the waters of the Mekong River today.

The Mekong Princess with her 14 suites is purpose built for the areas they cruise through, and small enough to get under the bridges in Saigon to berth in the heart of the city, and to get into parts of the Mekong Delta not accessible to other river boats.

With an average cruising speed of 8 knots (approximately 15km per hour) she affords a leisurely explore through a unique authentic part of the Mekong Delta.
