Description

The Mekong is a river of stories, flowing from the lively streets of Vietnam to the calm, rural landscapes of Cambodia. New for 2026, this three-night upstream river cruise offers an easy city-to-city connection between Saigon and Phnom Penh, giving you a relaxing, slow paced Mekong experience without needing a full week away.
Aboard the RV Tonle Pandaw, you’ll drift by sampan through Ben Tre’s mangrove forests, pause at small fruit orchards, see floating fish farms near Chau Doc, and take in sweeping river views from Sam Mountain. Travelers looking for added comfort also have the option to upgrade to the Tonle Suites, offering double the space of a traditional cabin and a more private, luxury filled onboard experience.
Designed for those who still want to pack in lots of scenery in a short timeframe, this journey blends nature, culture, and the gentle pace of river life to add a standout experience to your Southeast Asia travels.

Overview
Vessel Type: Luxury River Cruising Length: 60m Passenger Capacity: 48 pax Built: 2002 / Refurbished: 2013 The RV Mekong Pandaw, affectionately known as the MP, is the most spacious ship in the Pandaw fleet and a true icon of river cruising. Purpose-built for the Mekong, she boasts generous promenades, an expansive dining hall, and an impressive 750-square-metre teak deck complete with a full-size billiard table. With 24 beautifully appointed staterooms featuring panoramic French windows, imported linens, and thoughtful touches such as Nespresso machines, complimentary minibars, and spa-branded amenities, she offers unmatched comfort and elegance on the river. Guests also enjoy yoga mats in every cabin, evening canapés, and attentive service including daily turndown and 24-hour laundry. Onboard, the experience is enriched by exceptional dining led by a local master chef, with semi-buffet breakfasts and lunches, themed seated dinners, and a wide selection of fine wines. A welcoming atmosphere is complemented by cultural performances, cooking classes, and fascinating talks, while the saloon and sundeck bars provide social spaces with complimentary treats and nightly entertainment. Excursions are thoughtfully organised with deluxe sampans, comfort services, and expert local guides, while safety and service standards remain uncompromisingly high. With its refined facilities including a spa, gym, library, and art gallery, the Mekong Pandaw is quite justifiably regarded as the most splendid ship on the Mekong.

Itinerary



Day 1 - DAY 1 FROM SAIGON TO THE DELTA
Embark your Pandaw vessel in central Saigon and relax on the spacious sundeck as we set sail past the towering skyscrapers of Vietnam’s bustling metropolis. After lunch onboard you will meet the crew and enjoy local entertainment on the deck as we sail toward the Mekong Delta. We moor overnight on the Vam Co River.
Day 2 - DAY 2 BEN TRE AND THE FERTILE WATERWAYS
Early morning we set sail through the Cho Gao Canal, a vital waterway link for the transportation of goods to and from the city which was constructed in 1876 by the French and offers a fascinating insight to life along the water. We reach Ben Tre and journey by sampans through mangroves and bamboo forests to the fruit orchards abundant in the area. This is a fertile farming region with half of Vietnam's rice production coming from the Mekong Delta. It also hosts a rich artisanal culture which we will witness at a local village specialising in handicrafts. Back aboard we sail deeper into the delta toward Chau Doc.
Day 3 - DAY 3 CHAU DOC AND INTO CAMBODIA
In the morning, we take minivans for a short drive to Sam Mountain, the location of Phuoc Dien Tu or the Hang Pagoda. After climbing the steps we are greeted with stunning views across the Mekong. For those not keen on the stairs, explore the local market instead. Afterwards, we visit the nearby floating fish farms by Sampan before being treated to a private Lion dance performance at a local Village. Upon return to the ship, we navigate a web of canals before dropping anchor on the Vietnam/Cambodia border to undergo Immigration formalities.Note: During high water periods in October and November, navigation into Chau Doc may be hampered by low bridges meaning today's excursion will be replaced with a local village visit at Long Thuan.
Day 4 - DAY 4 PHNOM PENH DISEMBARKATION
After breakfast, disembark your Pandaw in Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh.
Day 5 - Please note:
Itineraries are subject to change.
