Aqua Mekong - Cambodia, Vietnam

Travelling on the Aqua Mekong, you will experience a cultural journey through Cambodia and Vietnam on board one of the best river cruise ships in Asia.

Architect David Hodkinson from the Noor Design studio in Saigon designed this floating 5-star hotel. He was inspired by the aesthetics of Indochina and furnished the Aqua Mekong in a modern style exclusively with local, ecologically sustainable natural materials. The impressions from the outside are continued on the inside. Polished wooden floors, sofas in classically simple elegance made of natural fibre fabric, lounge furniture made of woven cane or water hyacinth and the lush decor of exotic flowers and plants ensure a 1:1 implementation of every feel-good requirement. Of course, this also applies to the outdoor pool, the open-air bar on the Observation Deck, the library, the spa with massage services and the varied excursion programme led by local guides. Needless to say, the galley is run by a Michelin-starred chef!

The Aqua Mekong presents itself beautifully and very elegantly with modern architecture and interior design, based on a design by the renowned architect Noor Design. The 20 spacious, air-conditioned suites of the Mekong cruise ship will delight you thanks to their full-length windows, which offer a spectacular panoramic view of the ever-changing Mekong landscape. The Aqua Mekong also received the coveted Gold Award in the Architecture/New Construction category at the Asia Hotel Design Awards 2015. While the Aqua Mekong offers you a luxurious passage through Cambodia and Vietnam, you will also embark on an inspired and inspiring journey with local flavours and a culinary experience crafted by Michelin-starred chef David Thompson. The ship's bar menu, created by renowned spirits experts and cocktail designers Proof & Co, will show you a philosophy that is sure to be to your taste with every visit.

The Aqua Mekong also guarantees you the highest level of safety, comfort and exclusivity for offshore excursions, as Aqua Expeditions owns and operates the only private fleet of launches on the Mekong. The four ergonomically designed launches allow you to enjoy highly personalised day trips to sights, temples and villages that are home to tradition, spirituality and craftsmanship. It goes without saying that it is part of Aqua Expeditions' philosophy to preserve the beautiful rivers of this world that they sail. Environmentally friendly and responsible behaviour is an absolute must here - this applies in the Mekong Delta as well as in the Amazon. Because only with care will others also be able to enjoy the experiences that you might tell your loved ones of another generation: Of funny monkeys, snoozing sloths, dangerous caimans, chattering parrots and other colourful birds whose names you may not know, but which have enchanted you with their exotic splendour. The endless green of the rainforest can admittedly be described in words, but the real experience of experiencing the green lungs of our planet in all their complexity and perfection can of course only be had on site. And the most comfortable way to do this is on board the "Aqua Negra", which lets you discover the wonderful world of the Amazon in Peru for a choice of three, four or seven nights.

"When you think of 1:1, it sounds like a very even score. Whether it's in sports over cocktails or when it comes to forming couples, such as at dance balls. On board the designer ship "Aqua Mekong", this balanced ratio can also be felt everywhere and at all times. This ship is in a class of its own. Small but nice is the motto on board. A maximum of 40 passengers in 20 fully air-conditioned luxury viewing cabins are individually looked after here with a 1:1 ratio of guests to crew."
