- Carson· January 2nd, 2025Traveling down the Mekong River on this 2-day cruise was an unforgettable experience. The boat was clean and comfortable, with panoramic windows and open decks that offered incredible views of the river and surrounding mountains. Pakbeng was a peaceful and scenic spot to spend the night, and the lodge had everything we needed. What stood out most was the chance to visit a local village, where we learned about traditional weaving and daily life. The staff made sure we were well taken care of, serving delicious meals and sharing interesting stories. This cruise is perfect for anyone who wants to explore Laos at a slow, immersive pace.Show more
Trip date: November 2024 - Francine· November 21st, 2024An Unforgettable Experience on the Mekong! I recently joined the 2-day Mekong River Cruise from Houay Xay to Luang Prabang, and it was absolutely fantastic. The boat was comfortable, with plenty of seating to relax and take in the stunning scenery. We stopped at charming villages along the way, giving us a glimpse of local life and culture. The highlight was the visit to Pak Ou Caves, with hundreds of Buddha statues hidden inside—it felt truly magical. Meals on board were delicious, especially the local Laotian dishes, which were a great introduction to the country’s flavors. Highly recommend this journey to anyone looking to see Laos in a unique and relaxing way!Show moreTrip date: October 2024
