27/10/2025

The Mekong River, one of Asia’s most storied waterways, flows gracefully from the highlands of Tibet through six countries before reaching the emerald deltas of Vietnam and Cambodia. It carries not just water, but centuries of culture, spirituality, and human connection.

A Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia is not just a journey—it’s an immersion into the heart of Southeast Asia, where every bend reveals a new story. You’ll glide past floating markets, stilted villages, and golden temples, witnessing life unfold as it has for generations.

With Glamour Adventures, this voyage transforms into a seamless blend of indulgence and discovery, allowing you to experience the river in comfort, style, and authenticity.

1. Why Choose a Mekong River Luxury Cruise Vietnam to Cambodia

Unlike typical overland tours, a Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia lets you slow down and absorb the rhythm of life along the water. It’s an intimate, immersive way to connect with local cultures while enjoying world-class amenities.

From the bustling Mekong Delta in Vietnam to the serene spiritual landscapes of Cambodia, this route offers a perfect balance between vibrant daily life and tranquil beauty. You’ll witness two nations intertwined by history and nature, each side of the river telling its own tale.

And while the landscapes enchant your eyes, the experience onboard pampers your soul—an elegant sanctuary on water curated by Glamour Adventures.

2. Highlights Along the Journey

2.1. Life on the Water

The voyage often begins in Vietnam’s fertile Mekong Delta, where boats are homes, markets float, and daily life unfolds in harmony with the tides. Here, you’ll encounter friendly locals selling fruits, flowers, and handmade crafts from their wooden sampans.

This floating world reflects the resilience and creativity of Vietnamese river life—a highlight that makes the Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia truly special.

2.2. Authentic Encounters in the Delta

Cruising through smaller tributaries, you’ll stop at remote villages, visit coconut candy workshops, or cycle through emerald-green rice fields. Each encounter offers genuine glimpses into local traditions—perfect for travelers seeking meaningful experiences rather than mere sightseeing.

You might even be invited into a family home to share tea and stories, something that can only happen on an intimate journey curated with care by Glamour Adventures.

2.3. Cultural Treasures of Cambodia

As you cross into Cambodia, the scenery shifts subtly. The river widens, the temples rise, and the spirit of the Khmer civilization unfolds. Phnom Penh greets you with French colonial charm, bustling riverside cafés, and deep historical roots.

From there, the journey can continue toward Siem Reap and the magnificent Angkor Wat—an optional extension that many travelers choose to pair with their Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia.

3. Onboard Experience – Comfort Meets Authenticity

Aboard your luxury vessel, you’ll find spacious cabins with panoramic river views, fine dining inspired by regional cuisine, and attentive service that anticipates your every need.

Each evening, as the sun dips into the horizon, enjoy a glass of wine on the deck or unwind with a traditional massage. The cruise combines sophistication with local flair, making every moment feel effortless.

With Glamour Adventures, guests can expect curated itineraries that balance relaxation with exploration—creating a journey that feels both personal and indulgent.

4. When Is the Best Time to Take the Cruise

The Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia is available year-round, but the best time to travel is from November to April, during the dry season. The weather is pleasant, river levels are ideal, and visibility is perfect for photography.

In the green season (May to October), the river comes alive with vibrant foliage and fewer tourists—ideal for travelers who prefer tranquility and softer landscapes.

5. Tailor Your Experience with Glamour Adventures

No two journeys are alike with Glamour Adventures. Each Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia can be customized to your interests—be it culinary exploration, photography, or cultural immersion.

Add private excursions, local market tours, or combine your cruise with land-based adventures across Cambodia Private Tours, Vietnam Private Tours, or even extended Multi Asia Countries Private Tours.

Every itinerary is designed with care, comfort, and deep respect for the local environment and culture.

6. Discover Indochina in Style

A Mekong River luxury cruise Vietnam to Cambodia is more than travel—it’s transformation. It’s about reconnecting with simplicity, nature, and the timeless rhythm of river life.

From Vietnam’s lively delta to Cambodia’s golden temples, every moment along the Mekong reveals the heart of Indochina.

You MUST USE Glamour Adventures !!!!
We just had the most incredible three weeks in Vietnam and it was largely due to the unbelievable planning, care and attention from the wonderful folks at Glamour Adventures. We worked with Rose and Uyen to plan our trip and everything was taken care of efficiently, professionally and to perfection. Everything you can imagine was thought of including dietary restrictions. There was only one small issue which was dealt with professionally and to our satisfaction. We can’t say enough good things about Glamour Adventures and if you want to visit Vietnam or any of the other countries that they support, you will absolutely be thrilled with your experience. Thank you Rose and Uyen for the wonderful memories. Love Lisa and Michael from Canada
