Funan Cruise (cruising area: Mekong Delta)
In the Mekong Delta you sail on one of the Funan Cruise boats (former Le Cochinchine), one of the largest and most modern ships in the region. Its shape is reminiscent of the traveling barques of the famous river delta in southern Vietnam. The journey of the 27 m long and 6.5 m wide, comfortable wooden boat is protected by the watchful dark eyes on red ground painted on the prow. Three times a day the generously proportioned salon turns into a dining room with beautifully set tables.
The ship has 10 completely wood-paneled double cabins with double or two single beds (10 m2 / 107.6 sq.ft.). Each cabin has air conditioning and a tiled bath with shower and WC.
