Brockmeyer 6. February 2023

" Our expectations regarding the trip on the Mekong were met in every respect: from arrival to departure, we were accompanied competently and with great empathy. Everyone involved in the trip—from the tour guide to the ship’s boys—did a professional job. Special requests and individual rebookings went smoothly. The variety of activities along the way gave us a good insight into a relatively unknown country in terms of politics, economics (economic dependencies), geographical conditions, its dramatic history, and, last but not least, the modest everyday life of its people.

Bärbel and Michael from Jena 20. January 2025

" Every day was special and remains unforgettable. Even the organization was amazing. Everything was planned precisely and worked down to the last detail. The entire ship’s crew was on hand to assist guests with disembarking and embarking. Because there were no ports where we docked. We were on the wild Mekong River, and the ship anchored almost exclusively at sandy shores. And in general, the entire staff was always very attentive. They quickly learned the individual wishes of the passengers and adapted to them. Everything was always lovingly prepared. The cabins as well as the restaurant and the food. Our… "

" I have personally been to the Indochina Triangle several times, but this time I was truly impressed. The ship could not have been better, and the entire staff was more than friendly and courteous. There was nothing to complain about when it came to the food. The kitchen performed at its best. The flights, transfers, hotels, excursions, and other additional services also matched the quality already mentioned. Overall, the price-performance ratio was more than good! "

Herma Heyken and Dr. Andreas Nommels 31. March 2025

" We returned from our wonderful trip six weeks ago and are still raving about it! The Mekong Discovery is a wonderful ship, a floating hotel—there was hardly anything left to be desired. The crew was fantastic. The service team in the kitchen, restaurant, and bar was very professional, attentive, and exceptionally warm. The food was a revelation three times a day. Simply magnificent. The head tour guide, Sabine Geier, was also very professional and warm, and tried to fulfill every wish. The supporting program was varied, and the visit to the S-21 museum was also very good. "
