The Mekong River delta, a crucial lifeline for southern Cambodia and Vietnam, is renowned for its agricultural bounty and complex waterways. This region, known as the rice bowl of Vietnam, offers lush landscapes and rich traditions, yet accessing it can prove challenging due to sparse hotel accommodations and language barriers. Aqua Expeditions' Aqua Mekong vessel provides a luxury travel solution, accommodating only 40 guests while offering personalized service. The delta is experiencing rapid development, paralleling the growth seen in Cambodian cities like Phnom Penh, where traditional craftsmanship and modernity coexist.
In southern Cambodia and Vietnam, the waterways are more than a way of life - they are life itself.
The Mekong is the second-largest river delta in the world and is considered the breadbasket of Vietnam.
Hotels remain few and far between, particularly if you value an elevated level of luxury, and the lack of tourists to this region ensures the language barrier remains a constant hurdle.
Aqua Expeditions began traversing the world's remote waterways with its trips along the Amazon in 2007, launching Aqua Mekong in 2014.
