Mekong Saga bridges unmatched route exclusivity with artisanal luxury. By navigating the Delta’s tranquil inner tributaries, we unlock authentic local encounters inaccessible to larger vessels. Onboard, guests experience genuine Indochine heritage, adorned with authentic handcrafts rather than mass-produced decor, within a low-density vessel layout designed for maximum space and privacy. Supported by Indochina Sails Group’ 30+ years of expertise and recognized by the 2026 World Luxury Travel Awards, Mekong Saga sets a new benchmark for boutique river cruising in Vietnam.

Yes, Mekong Saga offers a full-board experience. This includes gourmet lunch, dinner, and breakfast (or brunch on departure day). Our menu features refined Indochine cuisine, and we are happy to accommodate Halal, Vegetarian, Vegan, and other special dietary requirements with 7 days' advance notice.

We offer various suite categories to suit your preference. Our Saga Royal Suites and Indochine Grand Suites feature private balconies and bathtubs. Our Mekong Suites (located on the 1st deck) feature large picture windows that offer expansive, immersive views of the river without a balcony.

Yes, we provide complimentary Wi-Fi in all suites and public areas. However, please note that as we navigate through remote parts of the Mekong Delta, the signal strength may occasionally fluctuate. It is the perfect excuse to "unplug" and enjoy the scenery!

Your "Saga" includes a mix of onboard and off-board experiences: guided shore excursions to artisan villages, traditional sampan (rowboat) trips, visits to floating markets, cooking demonstrations, sunset cocktails, and access to our rooftop mini-golf and infinity pool and more...

Absolutely. We offer cribs, extra beds for families and a variety of engaging activities. Children especially enjoy the rooftop mini-golf and the infinity pool. We also provide child-friendly meal options upon request.

We recommend light, breathable cotton clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and comfortable walking shoes for shore excursions. For the evening, "smart casual" attire is perfect for dinner. Don’t forget your swimwear for the infinity pool!

The Mekong is beautiful year-round. The dry season (November to April) offers clear skies and pleasant temperatures, while the lush season (May to October) brings brief tropical showers that turn the Delta into a vibrant, deep green paradise, perfect for photography.

Can True Luxury Be Conscious? We believe the most extraordinary journeys leave only ripples behind. Onboard Mekong Saga, your 5-star experience actively protects the river we call home, powering our decks with clean energy, eliminating single-use plastics, and directly empowering regional communities.

Wonderful Cruise

Most boats operating on the Mekong River are traditional wooden cruises with very few private balconies and almost no pool facilities. Seeing a brand-new steel cruise crafted in timeless Indochine style is a complete game-changer. My family and I are already planning our booking for the January 2027 launch!

An Unforgettable River Experience Awaits!

Having previously sailed with Indochine Premium Cruise in Ha Long Bay, the same visionary team behind Mekong Saga, I have complete confidence in what’s to come. With over 30 years of excellence, they truly know how to blend authentic Vietnamese heritage with 5-star comfort. Mekong Saga is set to redefine luxury travel on the Mekong River with its fresh Indochine design and service. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic yet ultra-luxury Mekong journey. I genuinely cannot wait for the grand opening in January 2027!
