Tour Information & Itinerary
The Mekong Princess Cruise is an 8-day, 7-night luxury river cruise between Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and Siem Reap on an all-suite ship with only 14 suites for 28 guests. Launched in 2015 and built in Saigon in French-colonial style, the 63-metre Mekong Princess sails through Ben Tre, Can Tho and the Cai Rang floating market, Gieng Island and Hong Ngu, Phnom Penh and Angkor Ban, with a spa, gym and two lounges on board. Meals, soft drinks, local beer and spirits, the minibar, excursions, gratuities and transfers are included. Prices start from US$2,530 per person, twin share.
Good to know (October 2026): upstream, the ship disembarks at Kampong Cham and a coach takes you to Siem Reap (included); downstream, the coach leaves Siem Reap at 07:00 on day 1. The Cambodian visa is issued on board at the border (US$50 cash) – e-visas are not accepted – while a Vietnam e-visa must be obtained before you sail. Not suitable for children under 6 or wheelchair users. Cruise code VTE-MP8.
