Bassac Cruise

About the Bassac Cruise Fleet

The Bassac Cruise offers an authentic and engaging way to explore the Mekong Delta, providing voyages that range from short to medium durations. This fleet comprises two distinct traditional wooden boats, Bassac II and Bassac III, both thoughtfully designed to reflect the classic aesthetic of traditional rice barges. These vessels provide a cozy and genuine cruising atmosphere through the intricate river systems of the Mekong.

Bassac II features two decks and ten cabins, accommodating up to twenty guests, making it ideal for discovery tours along the river. Its main deck houses eight cabins, including twin and double configurations, each with its own private bathroom. On this deck, guests will also find the ship's main dining area and bar, offering a relaxed environment for meals and socializing. The upper deck includes two additional double cabins with en-suite facilities, a spacious lounge that can double as an extra dining space, and a shaded outdoor area at the stern for al fresco meals, all while enjoying the river scenery.

Bassac III, with its two passenger decks and twelve cabins, provides an intimate journey for up to twenty-four passengers. This vessel beautifully merges traditional allure with contemporary comforts. Eight cabins, consisting of six twin and two double options, are located on the main deck, each equipped with a private bathroom. The main dining room and a bar on this deck create a welcoming space. The upper deck features four double cabins with private bathrooms, a panoramic lounge, and a second bar. A shaded outdoor dining area at the aft allows guests to enjoy meals amidst the captivating river views.

Operating primarily along the well-known Mang Thit and Co Chien Rivers, the Bassac Cruise allows guests to witness the lively Cai Be floating market and other characteristic scenes of the Mekong Delta. The design and operational style are centered on offering guests a profound connection with the local culture and landscapes.
