If you’re looking for a travel experience that’s local and ‘adventure lite’, Cambodia’s Aqua Mekong just might be the vessel for you.
We consider ourselves very particular travellers, and we’re sure you do too. We enjoy intimate indulgences and intrepid exploration in equal measure; we prefer our adventures to be audacious but our martinis chilled; our landscapes remote and awe-inspiring but matched with stellar cuisine. And we’re not alone – today’s world wanderer comes with higher expectations, and a desire to combine the road less travelled with a few urban perks.

Enter Aqua Expedition’s sleek Aqua Mekong, a contemporary vessel that plies Cambodia’s stunning Tonle Sap Lake and the mighty Mekong River.
The brainchild of Italian-American man’s man Francesco Galli Zugaro, who pioneered luxury adventure on the Amazon, Aqua Mekong features distinctly modern lines by Saigon-based architect David Hodkinson through 20 spacious Design Suites, each of which boasts king-sized beds, window walls and Nespresso machines.

You’ll spend your days exploring remote floating villages, artisanal silversmith workshops, and guarded bird sanctuaries with a fleet of military-grade skiffs and a team of well-trained guides, and then return to walk-in rain showers, massages in the spa, signature cocktails in the chic upper deck lounge, dining by Michelin marvel David Thompson and even a dip in the sundeck plunge pool with new found friends.
After all, what’s an adventure without company?
