When the Aqua Mekong set sail this September, we will be delivering on a promise to our guests
to match the quality of the experiences with us aboard the Aqua Amazon and the Adi Amazon
on another of the world's greatest rivers.
The Aqua Mekong measures 62.4 meters with a beam of 11.5 and a draft of 1.5 meters.
It carries 40 passengers in 20 design suites and with a crew complement of 41.
Our custom 205-foot Aqua Mekong embodies the aesthetics of a sophisticated five-star hotel
and purposely incorporates local sustainable materials with artisanal touches of the Mekong's
diverse cultures.
The newly implemented Aqua Mekong also has a 3- ん IPC with ease and ambience.

The ship's 20 design suites all face the Mekong with Florida ceiling windows through
which our guests may gaze upon this timeless river life at their leisure.
Beyond these generous private spaces, the Aqua Mekong is the only ship on this stretch
of the Mekong River with a fully equipped gym, a screening room, an outdoor evening cinema,
a library, an observation deck, and a top deck river-facing pool at the bow.
Since moving to Southeast Asia, I've tried to learn everything about the Mekong, so as
to build an itinerary that fascinates me as much as it is customized to our guests' expectations.
I've sailed every tributary of the Mekong, met local weavers on the Tonnassap Lake,
cruised the Bassack River, and searched these waters for the elusive Erawadi dolphins.
Building the Aqua Mekong and creating these three, four, and seven night itineraries definitely
rank among my life's greatest challenges, but along the way, I've put together a great
team, including Asia's number one ranked chef and Denis Saint-Novain train designer.
It's been an amazing adventure so far, working in foreign languages across two countries
and several cultures hasn't been easy, but together with my Aqua Mekong team, we've
met these exciting challenges and I couldn't be happier.
The anticipation that's building now, not only here in Southeast Asia, has been worldwide
amongst our past and future guests.
We're happy.
We're very, very happy.
The entire team's been amazing, our ground staff's been amazing, the guests are great,
and I think the most rewarding aspect has been that with so few departures under our
belt so far, we've had a great number of past guests that have traveled from the Amazon
and come to visit us on the Mekong now on the Aqua Mekong, and that's why we did this,
so thank you.
