With just 14 cabins, Mekong Sun offers one of the most intimate ways to experience the upper Mekong, where comfort, character and personalised service come together in a relaxed boutique setting. Purpose-built to navigate the narrower and more remote stretches of the river, the ship is ideal for travellers seeking a slower and more authentic journey through northern Laos.
Life on board is peaceful and comfortable, with welcoming public spaces designed for watching the scenery unfold. The lounge and small library provide a cosy place to enjoy a drink, read a book or chat with fellow travellers, while the sun deck is perfect for taking in the fresh air as forested hills, quiet villages and dramatic mountain landscapes drift by.
Cruising aboard Mekong Sun is as much about the journey as the destination. Excursions along the way may include visits to traditional riverside communities, sacred cave shrines, colourful local markets and the timeless beauty of Luang Prabang, one of Southeast Asia’s most charming heritage towns.
Cabins
Mekong Sun features 14 comfortable cabins across two decks, including Classic Cabins on the main deck and more spacious Superior Cabins on the upper deck. All cabins are air conditioned and include private en suite bathrooms, with river-facing windows or balconies for uninterrupted views.
