1. MEKONG MELODY
MEKONG RIVER CRUISES
General Information
A newly built tradition-inspired rice barge, Mekong Melody is a cosy river boat, perfectly well-
suited to private cruises. Entirely made of wood, it sails with ease on the many winding canals of
the Mekong Delta, in perfect harmony with its natural setting. Displaying a subtle combination of
comfort and charm, the boat also benefits from a high quality and personalised service provided
by an attentive crew. Thanks to Mekong Melody, the Mekong Delta's secrets are being unveiled
along the river in a quiet and intimate atmosphere imbued with magic.
Cruising with Mekong Melody
Mekong Melody allows a wide range of routes throughout the Delta, as it can sail on waterways
usually inaccessible to most cruising boats. It perfectly lends itself to tailor-made journeys, in
accordance with travelers' wishes or for special occasions. On board Mekong Melody, passengers
get a genuine insight into the Delta. Cruises result from a careful association between the elegant
setting of a modern river barge inspired in tradition and an authentic way of exploring the Mekong
Delta. Mekong Melody brings you upclose this unique natural environment and gives you a
glimpse at the lives of local people. An enchanting voyage in strict privacy immersed in the life of
an exceptional river.
