MEKONG DELTA CRUISE TOUR TO CAN THO AND CAI BE BY MEKONG EYES CRUISE
Overview
From the heights of the Tibetan Plateau, the mighty Mekong flows through six countries, giving life and a home to millions of people. For this, it was once named “Mother of all rivers”. After a journey of 4,350 km (2,700 miles) it reaches the Pacific Ocean.
Our boats combine regional boat-building traditions with modern comforts. Both boat types were built and artfully decorated by skilled craftsmen of the Mekong Delta. With our fleet of luxurious river cruisers, Mekong Eyes Explorer, Mekong Eyes Classic, Dragon Eyes I and II and our private boats Gecko Eyes, we offer the perfect holiday vessels to cruise the Mekong in style!
