Awaken to the gentle rhythm of the Mekong as we begin our day with a nourishing vegan breakfast aboard the Mekong Jewel. Today's journey invites you to experience the authentic heart of Cambodian rural life and ancient spiritual traditions.

Morning: Opopel Village

Step ashore in the timeless village of Opopel, where stilted houses rise above the earth and Brahman cows doze beneath banana trees. Wander through this peaceful community where daily life flows with unhurried grace. You'll have the special opportunity to:

Stop by the village school to observe (or participate in!) classroom activities
Capture photographs of the picturesque landscape that seems untouched by time
Conclude with a quiet moment at the village monastery, absorbing its serene atmosphere

Walk among the towering 53-meter golden Buddhist columns
Learn about the two original temples (including the now-lost Baksei Chamkrong temple)

day 4

Welcome the first morning of 2027 with a relaxed start aboard the Mekong Jewel, giving you time to savor the gentle rhythm of the river and reflect on new beginnings. Enjoy a leisurely vegan brunch as we prepare to explore Phnom Penh's most iconic treasures this afternoon.

After lunch, we'll immerse ourselves in the heart of Cambodia's capital, where Khmer grandeur meets colonial charm. Our journey begins at Wat Phnom, the sacred hilltop temple that gave birth to the city itself. According to legend, this active Buddhist monastery marks the spot where Lady Penh discovered four Buddha statues in a floating tree trunk, establishing the spiritual foundation of Phnom Penh.

From this historic site, we'll continue to the magnificent Royal Palace complex, built in 1866 during King Norodom's reign. Wander through courtyards of gleaming golden spires and intricate Khmer architecture that still serves as the royal residence today. Just steps away, the famed Silver Pagoda awaits - its floor paved with over 5,000 shimmering silver tiles. Within these hallowed walls, you'll discover priceless Buddhist artifacts, including a solid gold Buddha studded with 9,584 diamonds and the exquisite Emerald Buddha.

As the afternoon sun casts golden light on the palace roofs, we'll return to the Mekong Jewel, where you can unwind with sunset drinks on deck or share stories of the day's discoveries. Tonight's plant-based dinner will feature special Cambodian flavors, celebrating both the new year and the rich cultural heritage we've experienced today.

This first day of 2027 has shown us how Cambodia honors its past while gracefully moving forward - a perfect metaphor for our own new beginnings.

day 5

After this morning's solemn history, spend the afternoon discovering Phnom Penh's lively contemporary culture:

Wander through bustling local markets like Central Market or Russian Market

day 6

As dawn breaks over the Mekong, the Mekong Jewel gently departs Phnom Penh, beginning our serene journey downstream toward the Cambodian-Vietnamese border. Today offers the perfect opportunity to unwind and soak in the ever-changing riverscape from the comfort of our floating sanctuary.

The morning light reveals a captivating panorama of daily life along the riverbanks - children waving from stilted houses, and lush vegetation giving way to widening waterways. This is your day to relax and reflect on the incredible journey thus far.

Our crew has prepared a delightful array of onboard activities to enhance your river day:

Treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage at our spa

This tranquil interlude between countries reminds us that some of travel's most precious moments come when we simply let the river carry us forward.

day 7

As the morning mist rises over the Mekong, we begin our journey into one of Vietnam's most enchanting ecosystems - the breathtaking Tra Su Cajuput Forest. After a nourishing vegan breakfast, we'll:

08:00 Board traditional sampans at Tan Chau pier, gliding through waterways where sunlight filters through overhanging mangroves

08:15 Transfer by comfortable coach through the lush Mekong Delta countryside, watching as rice paddies and rural villages give way to flooded forests

09:15 Embark on the highlight of our day - a magical motorboat tour through Tra Su's emerald-green waterways. This submerged forest comes alive with:

Hundreds of rare bird species taking flight across mirrored waters
Towering cajuput trees rising from the flooded landscape
A symphony of wildlife sounds echoing through the mangroves

10:45 Begin our return journey, carrying memories of this tranquil sanctuary where nature thrives in perfect harmony

11:45 Reboard the Mekong Jewel just in time for lunch, where today's plant-based menu will feature fresh flavors inspired by the delta's bounty

This morning's adventure reveals the Mekong at its most pristine - where every ripple tells a story of ecological wonder and timeless beauty.

day 8

The morning sun greets us with golden light as we prepare for one of our journey's most enchanting cultural experiences. After a delicious vegan breakfast featuring local tropical fruits, we board traditional sampans that wind through Long Thuan's narrow canals, where water hyacinths brush against the boat sides and children wave from swaying palm-shaded banks.

Visit a serene Taoist temple, where:

We present offerings to support the local community
Resident monks share ancient fortune-telling traditions
The scent of incense mingles with morning breezes

Stroll through emerald rice fields along dirt paths lined with banana trees, witnessing farmers tending their crops using timeless methods.

The Unicorn Spectacle - Our morning crescendos with a truly magical encounter:

Learn the sacred craft of unicorn headdress-making from master artisans
Watch wide-eyed as vibrant costumes come to life before us
Be mesmerized by an energetic unicorn dance performance, where acrobatic leaps and drumbeats tell stories of prosperity and good fortune

As we return to our sampan, the rhythmic drumming still echoing in our ears, we carry with us the joy of having witnessed a living tradition that's been passed down through generations.

Today's experience reminds us that some of the Mekong's greatest treasures aren't found in guidebooks, but in these authentic moments of cultural connection.

Back aboard the Mekong Jewel, lunch will feature plant-based versions of regional specialties. The afternoon offers time to relax on deck, journal about our unicorn encounter, or enjoy a spa treatment as we continue our voyage downriver.

day 9

The golden light of dawn finds us approaching Long Xuyen, where the Mekong's vibrant energy awakens with the buzz of floating commerce and spiritual tranquility. After fortifying ourselves with a wholesome vegan breakfast, we begin our immersion into this dynamic riverside city.

7:30 AM: Floating Market Spectacle**

We board traditional sampans that weave through a watery world of commerce at the Long Xuyen Floating Market, where:

Wooden boats laden with rainbow-hued produce jostle for position
Vendors skillfully toss pineapples and melons between vessels
The air fills with the scent of ripe mangoes and fresh-brewed coffee

9:15 AM: Ashore to Spiritual Sanctuaries**

Disembarking, we transition from the river's bustle to the quiet reverence of Long Xuyen's sacred sites:

Ong Bac Pagoda

Discover this exquisite Chinese-style temple with its curling roof eaves
Admire intricate porcelain mosaics depicting mythological scenes
Learn about the temple's role in the local Buddhist community

My Phuoc Temple

Wander through serene courtyards filled with the scent of incense
Marvel at the blend of Khmer and Vietnamese architectural influences
Observe monks in saffron robes going about their daily rituals

As we set sail toward our next destination, lunch aboard features fresh ingredients likely purchased from the very market we visited this morning - transformed into beautiful plant-based dishes celebrating the Mekong Delta's bounty.

day 10

As the morning mist lifts from the Mekong's waters, we approach the hidden gem of Cu Lao Gieng - affectionately known as "The Mango Island." This tranquil oasis, untouched by mass tourism, invites us to discover its sweet secrets and timeless traditions. After a breakfast featuring fresh tropical fruits, we begin our island exploration through a delightful mix of sampan rides and remork (local tuk-tuk) journeys.

Our adventure unfolds through four captivating stops:

Bamboo Basket Village

Watch master artisans transform slender bamboo strips into intricate baskets using techniques perfected over generations. Feel the rhythm of their skilled hands as they demonstrate this sustainable craft that's central to Mekong Delta life.

Shady Mango Lanes

Travel along fragrant pathways canopied by mango trees, where sunlight filters through the leaves creating perfect photo opportunities. Learn how local farmers have cultivated over a dozen mango varieties on this fertile island.

Growers who reveal their natural techniques for enhancing the fruit's vibrant colors without chemicals. Sample sun-warmed mangoes at peak ripeness - their juicy sweetness embodying the island's essence.

Discover the island's multicultural history at two architectural gems:

The Catholic Church: This stunning French-colonial cathedral stands in beautiful contrast to the surrounding tropical landscape

Heritage House: Step back in time at one of the island's oldest residences, where European design blends with local building traditions

As we return to the Mekong Jewel by midday, the scent of mango blossoms lingers in the air. Lunch aboard features creative plant-based dishes inspired by today's encounters, perhaps including green mango salads or coconut-infused delicacies.

day 11

A Fragrant Journey Through Sa ?éc

As our ship glides into Sa ?éc on the morning of January 8, the air carries the sweet perfume of countless flowers - our first introduction to Vietnam's celebrated "flower capital."

We transfer to slender sampans that navigate narrow waterways, bringing us into the heart of this charming town where history and horticulture intertwine. Our first stop reveals the bustling local market, a kaleidoscope of colors and aromas - towers of fresh herbs, pyramids of ripe dragon fruit, and artfully arranged flower bouquets that showcase the region's agricultural bounty.

The romantic highlight comes at the Huynh Thuy Le Ancient House, its Franco-Chinese architecture frozen in time. We wander through the very courtyard that inspired Marguerite Duras' classic novel “The Lover”, admiring intricate wood carvings that whisper stories of Indochina's past. Nearby, the Kien An Cung Temple enchants with its ceramic mosaic dragons and swirling incense, representing the Chinese cultural influences that flavor this region.

Our journey continues by boat to a vibrantly painted Cao Dai Temple, where we learn about this uniquely Vietnamese faith that harmonizes world religions. The day's sensory crescendo comes as we stroll through Sa ?éc's famous flower villages, where generations of growers tend to exquisite bonsai, delicate orchids, and the region's signature roses in a living tapestry of color.

day 12

As dawn breaks over the Mekong for our final morning, the gentle rocking of the Mekong Jewel reminds us of the incredible journey we've shared. We gather one last time in the dining room for a heartfelt farewell breakfast.

At 8:30 AM, with suitcases packed full of memories (and perhaps some handcrafted souvenirs), we disembark in My Tho with warm goodbyes to the crew who have become like family. Our comfortable coach awaits to transport us to vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, where:

- The adventure continues for those joining our optional 4-night/5-day Saigon & Siem Reap extension

Though our cruise concludes today, the spirit of the Mekong travels onward with each of us - in stories we'll share, flavors we'll recreate, and perhaps in dreams of returning to these golden waters someday.

For those continuing to Siem Reap, anticipate:
