Explore Beautiful Mekong Delta On Bassac Cruise
Overview
Trip Highlights
Overview of Bassac Cruise Fleet
Bassac Cruises take you into the greener areas of the Mekong delta, overnight on the river and into the middle of the life about the river. They are entirely built of wood in the Mekong delta and according to the local marine traditions, and adapted for discovery cruises, open to outside and offering an immediate contact with the green surrounding of the ship.

Named after one of the two main branches of Mekong River in Vietnam, Bassac Cruise, which includes 3 ships at the total, is among the sought-after medium-range Mekong river boats due to excellent service and amiable staff
Bassac I (maximum 12 passengers) actually once was a rice barge, which TransMékong bought and overhauled into the cozy cabin cruiser it is today, and although Bassac II (maximum 20 passengers) and Bassac III (maximum 24 passengers) are entirely new hull designs, more adapted to their present purpose, they were built with the same craftsmanship and according to the same tradition.

Departure at noon – Arrival by mid-morning. Anywhere in the delta as you can pick your own itinerary, to charter a boat and run along your own route, but typically either Can Tho or Cai Be.
Classic Vietnamese cuisine fresh from the galley for lunch and dinner, with an extra touch of class in the evening. And for breakfast: all manners of bread hot from the oven, as you bake afresh every day.
In the afternoon, for a change of scenery, we take you on a visit to the local countryside. Expect the genuine welcome of the Mekong Delta people in their pristine setting. You will also visit what each destination is known for, be it its market, a famous old house or the local handicraft. Part of the visits is planned, some always remains subject to tide and current, so you may have an unique experience even to other Bassac passengers.
