The Mekong Sun excels in leading extended cruising expeditions along a picturesque stretch of the Upper Mekong. If travelling from Thailand to Laos, you’ll be guided from the previously infamous rolling hills of Thailand’s Golden Triangle to the charming historic city of Luang Prabang. In between, you’ll become a visitor to timeless riverside villages, mysterious cave shrines, beautiful waterfalls and the fascinating waterways that provide a valuable trade route in and out of Laos.

Alternatively, the Mekong Sun operates a 5-night circular cruise of Thailand that focuses on the little-visited sights and attractions.

The comfort on board is uncompromised, charming and perhaps most importantly, in fitting with its wild surroundings.

Cabins

You will find 11 Classic cabins on the main deck, each facing out to the water with sliding windows and French balconies to optimise the stunning views. These cabins offer 12 square metres of living space and twin beds.

On the upper deck there are two Superior cabins, with another found on the ship’s bow for fantastic panoramic views. These cabins are a more spacious 18 square metres and boast a small balcony and twin beds, with the exception of the cabin on the bow which has a double bed.

All cabins have an en suite shower and toilet, as well as air conditioning.
