Mekong Star

The most upmarket ship launching fall 2025 with just 12 spacious cabins and suites for maximum 24 passengers in exclusive ambiance.

Ship Overview

Fall 2025 came with an upgrade to how travelers can cruise the majestic Mekong River: Our new premium boutique ship, the Mekong Star, brings journeys on the Mother of all Waters to a whole new level. With its spacious cabins and suites, all of them with private balcony, its upscale furnishing and design, and Wi-Fi in every corner of the ship, the Mekong Star offers an enhanced experience that differs from any cruise this region of Laos and Thailand had to offer so far.

The Mekong Star features a comfy library area, a relaxing spa room, and a restaurant with indoor and covered outdoor seating. Its two elegant bars with first-rate service offer cocktails and spirits as well as beer and a selection of wines. Prices include free house wine, beer, and soft drinks during meals, a sundowner in the evening, and one spa treatment per guest as well as daily gourmet meals with delights of international and local cuisine freshly prepared on board plus coffee, tea, water, snacks, and fresh fruit.
