Motion Sickness is a common issue for travelers during their cruise at the sea, but on Mekong River, it is usually not the case. Wave is almost non-existent and cruises are designed to be steady and built with modern technology as well.
We have not recorded any complaint regarding seasickness on cruises in the great Mekong, however, the staffs onboard will support you as best as they can in case it happens.
Passengers on a Mekong Cruise can expect to be served with a good selection of cuisine. Most are French, South East Asia, and local Cuisine.

Our team will be happy to share our recommendations for these independent explorations.

Every effort will be made to cater to special dietary needs, and to accommodate special requests, subject to a given product’s availability in Vietnam and Cambodia.
