Savour the fantastic scenery of the Mekong River on your spectacular cruise starting and ending in the former royal city of Luang Prabang (Laos), now UNESCO World Heritage.

YOUR ROUTE:
LUANG PRABANG – PAK OU – KUANG SI – THA DEUA – LUANG PRABANG

LUANG PRABANG – PAK OU (-/-/D)

DAY 1: In the afternoon, you will embark on the Mekong Sun, a comfortable new Laotian cruise ship. (Check in is at 2:00 PM) This unique vessel is the first German-Laotian owned river ship with cabins on the upper Mekong. Settle into your accommodating cabin and unpack for a four-day cruise. Today your spectacular cruise begins with the departure from Luang Prabang from where you will cruise north and visit a Laotian village. In the village you can observe how the local liqueur Lao-Lao is being distilled traditionally. After a short walk through the jungle you will explore the famous Pak Ou-caves, with thousands of small Buddha statues inside the caverns. The night is spent on a secluded river bank or sandbank. Enjoy the spacious decks, lounge on board and attend our welcome reception and dinner this evening. A selection of Asian and European food will be provided throughout the cruise. Overnight aboard the Mekong Sun.

KUANG SI – THA DEUA (B/L/D)

DAY 2: After a few hours of cruising down the river, you will stop and continue by bus to visit the famous Kuang Si-waterfalls, followed by a visit to an elephant camp, where you will be able to see elephants in action. The ship will then head further south to the Mekong ferry crossing at Tha Deua, connecting Luang Prabang Province with the Sayaboury province. Overnight aboard the Mekong Sun. WILD NATURE ALONG THEMIGHTY MEKONG (B/L/D)

DAY 3: Further south you will discover some of the most remarkable, most impressive landscapes of this still-untamed river. The landscape becomes more and more spectacular: hills covered with tropical vegetation, awe-inspiring rock formations along the river banks, and a fascinating array of fast currents and slower river parts. The power of the mighty Mekong will give your cruise the feeling of a real expedition.
Enjoy the beautiful views and watch nature’s wonders along the shores before you head north again and stop at a sandbank for the night. This last evening on board will be celebrated with a farewell dinner. (Due to sudden drops in water level on some days, it may be necessary to make the afternoon excursion down south and upstream again – the wildest and possibly most exciting part of the Mekong – in a local Lao slow-boat before returning back to the Mekong Sun) Overnight aboard the Mekong Sun.

THA DEUA – LUANG PRABANG (B/L/-)

DAY 4: After breakfast on board, enjoy the beautiful view and spot local fishermen onshore as you cruise upstream from the ferry crossing at Tha Deua. In the afternoon you will return to Luang Prabang where you will say goodbye to your Laotian crew. Check-out and disembark. End of service. Pre-nights and extension nights in Luang Prabang on the hotel boat Mekong Sun can be reserved. Details and rates-please refer to the FIT/group-booking cruise-schedule.
