Features onboard
Elegantly spread across three levels, the Aqua Mekong exemplifies sophisticated design and efficient use of space, setting a new standard for river cruising.
At the very top, the sun deck offers an open-air haven with sweeping views of the Mekong River and sky—making it the perfect place for photography, meditation, or a peaceful yoga session. As the ship’s highest viewpoint, it provides a serene escape for guests to take in the ever-changing scenery.
Second Deck features 10 spacious Design Suites, each measuring 322 square feet (30 sqm), with four offering private balconies and six without. It also includes the ship’s boutique, the galley, and the main dining room.
First Deck Also home to 10 Design Suites of equal size and layout, the first deck includes four balcony suites and six non-balcony options. Guests will also find the onboard spa and infirmary here, along with the embarkation area for daily shore excursions.
The dining experience aboard Aqua Mekong is curated by acclaimed Michelin-starred chef David Thompson, delivering a refined journey through the vibrant culinary heritage of Vietnam and Cambodia. Seasonal menus are crafted using fresh, locally sourced ingredients at the peak of flavor—from river-caught catfish to garden-fresh herbs. Signature dishes include Khmer-style lamb curry and Vietnamese sugar cane prawns, served in a communal format that reflects local dining traditions.
Beyond dining, guests are invited to dive deeper into regional gastronomy through live cooking demonstrations and guided visits to lively local markets. Here, chefs handpick ingredients such as turmeric, coriander, lemongrass, and coconut to infuse every meal with the essence of Southeast Asia. The result is an immersive culinary experience that reflects both authenticity and innovation.
