Magical Mekong Cruise and Beach

Combine the best of all worlds with a magical 7-night cruise exploring the cultural treasures of the Mekong River and a relaxing 4-night stay on the glorious beaches of Vietnam.

As the only vessel to cruise this part of the delta, Victoria Mekong offers exclusive itineraries to hand-picked ports along one of the most enchanting stretches of the Mekong. This magical section of the river delivers wonders at every turn, from the lush, green landscapes of Vietnam up to Cambodia’s enchanting capital, Phnom Penh.

Then let us whisk you away to the sugar white sands of Phu Quoc Island. Resting in the Gulf of Thailand and swathed in dense tropical forests, Phu Quoc boasts over 30 miles of palm-fringed white sand beaches and is the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on your magical cruise adventure
