Scenic Victoria Boat Cruise Mekong 4 Days 3 Nights
In the South, the Victoria Speedboats cruise the Mekong River, linking Can Tho, Chau Doc and Phnom Penh. Explore one the most mysterious rivers in the world, the mighty Mekong, and admire the natural beauty of its timeless scenery. From the comfort of your seat, watch life unfold before you: encounter tiny villages, bamboo-stilt houses, colourful floating markets, peasants at work and smiling children.
This trip is designed to discover the very best of Mekong in comfort and style, 4 days on the complex maze of the Mekong Delta giving you a insight into life on the mighty Mekong River and its tributaries.
