Aqua Mekong was an amazing experience for our family. It is a very careful prepared experience where we were immersed in the cultural landscape of Cambodia and had a different adventure everyday. We had the option to bike or kayak to the beautiful local villages or relax and visit them via speed boats and tuc tucs. The crew was extremely sweet and their attention to detail amazed us. The guides were passionate, knowledgeable and fun! Food was always delicious and the comfort on board is that of a 5 star hotel. Highly recommended! We are looking forward to our next adventure with Aqua Expeditions in the Amazon River!

The cruise was wonderful. The ship was very comfortable, the service was terrific, and the cruising itself was relaxing and inspiring at the same time, with the beautiful views. The transfers all went well, and we never had occasion for any worries. Also the visa process for entry into Cambodia was handled fully by the crew. All in all, we were very pleased; it was everything that was promised, and more
