THIS IS YOUR ALL VEGAN FLOATING HOTEL

The Mekong Symphony: A Masterpiece in Motion. Timeless Elegance Meets the Soul of the Mekong

Currently under construction and destined to become the most elegant vessel on the river, the Mekong Symphony is a tribute to a bygone era of grace. Reminiscent of the stately French colonial-era manor homes that once defined the boulevards of old Saigon, this boutique vessel offers a sophisticated yet intimate sanctuary for just 44 discerning travelers.

Cruising the mighty Mekong aboard the Symphony is an invitation to slow down. Every corner of the ship has been designed to offer a blend of historical charm and contemporary luxury, creating a serene backdrop as you navigate the vibrant, ever-changing landscapes of Vietnam and Cambodia.

The 22 spacious, well-appointed suites on board provide the seamless comfort of a five-star hotel while keeping you intimately connected to the river’s rhythm. Large floor-to-ceiling windows ensure the magic of the Mekong is never out of sight, while the interiors offer a cool, quiet retreat from the tropical sun.

Uncompromising Comfort & Amenities:

  • The Sleep Experience: Premium mattresses, a curated pillow menu, and the finest sustainable bed linens and duvets.
  • Boutique Details: Individual climate control, daily housekeeping with nightly turndown service, and luxuriously soft robes and slippers.
  • Personal Touches: All-natural therapeutic bath amenities, a complimentary minibar, and in-room electronic safes.
  • Modern Connectivity: Flat-screen satellite TV and complimentary wireless internet in all public areas.

As with every Vegan Travel voyage, the heart of the ship is its kitchen. On the Mekong Symphony, our master chefs will elevate local, sun-ripened ingredients into world-class plant-based cuisine. In the elegant dining room, you will experience the bold spices of Cambodia and the delicate herbs of Vietnam, reimagined through a compassionate lens.

Whether you are sipping a sundowner on the expansive Observation Deck or retreating to the quiet elegance of your suite, the Mekong Symphony offers more than just a cruise - it offers a transformative experience that lingers long after you’ve returned home.
