MEKONG KINGDOMS CRUISES
From Lanna to Lan Xang.
To cruise down the Mekong is to experience Southeast Asia’s beauty in age-old style. Your three-day, two-night cruise between the Golden Triangle and Luang Prabang takes place aboard the Gypsy, a 41-metre thatched-roof rice barge with contemporary sophistication. With only two ensuite cabins aboard on either end of the vessel, the river feels yours alone.
Wake up to mountain views and yoga on deck. Hop ashore to visit remote hill tribe villages. Return to sunset cocktails and canapés and rice wine tasting sessions.
*Subject to border opening, visa and vaccination validity
