We are finishing a cruise that lasted 8 days. We departed from Siem Riep in Cambodia and will arrive in Ho Chi Ming in Vietnam today. We had the opportunity to see how different communities live on the edges of the Mekong River and in the Mekong Delta region in both Cambodia and Vietnam. The Mekong Princess staff is extremely organized, kind, always concerned with our comfort, safety and seek at all times to meet our desires before even expressing them in words. Diverse food in all meals, prepared impeccably and safely for me who am celiac and need 100% gluten-free food. The rooms are very comfortable, beautiful and clean. They cleaned their rooms and changed their towels three times a day. The scheduled tours always took place at the scheduled time and all planned for our comfort and safety. It was amazing our Cruise and I recommend it to those who like comfort, safety and depth on tourist tours. The agency that sold us this cruise, which was our first choice / purchase on the plan to visit Indochina, was finally chosen to be responsible for our entire month trip here. Inside Travel was impeccable in everything, from the sale of this Mekong Princess Cruise to the entire programming of our dream trip. Amazing experiences at all times. 🙂 Super recommend the Mekong Princess and Inside Travel.

My wife and I had the pleasure of spending 8 days 7 nights cruising the Mekong River aboard the Mekong Princess. What can I say but WOW! What a fabulous experience! From the moment you step on board, you are greeted by warm, smiling faces. The boat is themed with the charm of the French colonial era while combining the comfort & convenience of today.
The cabins are spacious and comfortable and with just 14 cabins in total and more staff than guests, you are assured of personalised service. Start your day with a smorgasbord breakfast in the Indochine restaurant. Here, the Cambodian staff are at your beck and call and are only too happy to assist you before you head off to explore this fascinating land. Daily excursions organised by your local guide, Nam, takes you to see the "real Vietnam."" These excursions are informative and delivered with great passion by Nam. Return back to the Mekong Princess where you are welcomed back home with a cold face towel and a cold drink before going for a delicious smorgasbord lunch which has been expertly prepared for you by on board chef "On" and his staff.
The afternoon provides the opportunity for another informative tour. After the days activities conclude it is time to freshen up for the evening and head to the Ramvong Lounge where you can enjoy a drink and hear your host Eric give a briefing on the following days activities. Before you know it, it's time to head back to the Indochine restaurant for an A la Carte dinner.
When you cross over into Cambodian, your new local guide, Chhay, takes you to the sites and through some of the tragic but important history of this nation. It has been a privilege to been taken into parts of Vietnam to see small villages where very few tourist get to go and to experience and learn about the true Vietnam as at has been to learn about Cambodia's history.
If you want to experience outstanding service where every detail is taken care of thanks to our host Eric, be servided by a genuinely warm welcoming crew, eat at a 5 star restaurant three times a day where the food is simply out of this world, experience the authentic Vietnam and Cambodia, then what are you waiting for, book this cruise, you won't be disappointed.

We (a young european couple) just did the 8 day trip from Ho Chi Minh to Siem Riep last week and we can say it was worth every cent. Everything was perfect, from the well balanced planning to the crew customer care at every moment. The Mekong Princess Cruise has been so far the diamond experience of our 3 month trip around SE Asia and we cannot recommend it strong enough :)

Dear inespuelas,
Thank you so much for your time in this kind review. It was our pleasure to be service to you, and enjoyed the young blood energy onboard. Thank you for the Diamond Princess that could be the name of the next ship. We are glad that you have enjoyed your journey with us on a such small group of guests onboard which make it like "comme a la Maison" feeling and atmosphere. Again on behalf of all crew onboard thank you and Benjamin for being our guests and wish you a wonderful remaining time in this part of the world, hoping our paths will cross again one day. Thanks to you both

From the first contact with the Vietprincess team the experience has been exceptional…even the bus from our hotel in Siem Reap to meet the Mekong Princess in Kampong Cham was first class.
Eric (our cruise director) and Soknin and Mr Cheung ( our guides in Cambodia and Vietnam respectively) kept us occupied and fully briefed on each days tours and activities and combined cultural and historical aspects relating to each of the sites that were visited.
We opted for the largest available cabin at the front of the ship and, although this attracted a premium, it was worth every cent. The cabin was luxuriuos and well appointed and Srey (our butler) looked after all our needs. The inclusion of unlimited laundry, beer and soft drinks, a complimentary massage and a bottle of wine on arrival added to the premium experience. The hospitality crew and the rest of the staff were enthusiastic and engaging and it was a delight to return to the ship after each excursion.
The Mekong Princess is smaller than some of the other stay aboard options ( a max of 28 ) but this just enhances the experience and allow access to ports the others can’t get access.

What an amazing trip. We would highly recommend to anyone that wanted a personal cruise with the most amazing staff and onshore experiences. Because this ship has a small amount of people it is very personal. The boat goes to places that the bigger boats can’t get to making it the most personal trip. We went to the smaller villagers. Met the most amazing happy people and children We would highly recommend this boat and crew. They go above and beyond The food is absolutely amazing We loved the chefs soup every lunch time and he was happy to share his recipe with us. I would highly recommend this trip. We have had the most amazing time

After a lifetime of travel, I am surprised that superlatives have failed me. This is truly a “luxury” cruise. Our host Eric goes to great lengths to ensure that every small detail is perfect. Our suite at the front of the vessel is spacious and spectacularly appointed. The staff fall over themselves to attend to our every need. The food is excellent and varied. The excursions are meticulously planned and to places you wouldn’t otherwise go. A similar experience in Europe would cost three times the price and expose you to less cultural delights. Do yourself a favour, spoil yourself and book a cruise up, or down, the Mighty Mekong aboard the Mekong Princess.
I am struggling to think of anything that isn’t perfect. I found one! The bathrobes in the suite are a little small for the more robust western girths. That’s it. Finally, see if you can get Chamroeun to be your waiter. He is great fun.

Dear Philippa & Martin,
Thank you so much for this high rating on our Princess ship. It was our pleasure and honor to have you as our guests during this journey downstream the Mekong River. Glad you have enjoyed the Angkor Suite, the service, food and excursions offered during this trip. Shame you did not tell us about the bathrobes we do have large size available on request (not enough to put in each Suite) still we learn and will tell the butler to offer personally. Thank again from all of us onboard and wish you a great end of vacation in Southeast Asia.

We took the route from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh and stayed in the Tonle Sap Suite. There were 14 of us in total, so the boat was only half full. From our point of view, that was fantastic, because when we booked we had made sure to choose a smaller ship.
The cabins and all public areas are decorated in French colonial style. Our bathroom, and especially the shower, were huge (for a cruise ship). There was both air conditioning and a fan. The bed was super comfortable. If it wasn't too hot, we pushed open the balcony door and enjoyed the breeze. You couldn't go outside. There were always two carafes of drinking water available in the room. You could also get drinking water from two stations in the hallway. We were very impressed that the Mekong Princess uses treated Mekong water for the bathroom, which is then returned to the river after use and cleaning. There were two refillable water bottles in each cabin for the excursions.
We received a warm welcome a week before the cruise began by email and WhatsApp, with lots of helpful information. The communication was designed in such a way that we had the feeling that we were expected and looking forward to seeing us. This feeling was then reinforced when we actually arrived. I have often felt in good hands and experienced very attentive staff, but the crew on the Mekong Princess was/is unique! I can't single anyone out in particular, because every single team member I had contact with was special!
The food was plentiful, varied and excellent: breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus really good red wine (I didn't try the white wine) and even non-alcoholic beer. Espresso ($2) and the like had to be paid for extra.
We used the spa area and were both completely satisfied (pedicure $30, massage $55).
On board, we guests were well looked after by Cruise Director Eric, an absolute professional. On land, we had a guide for Vietnam and Cambodia, who traveled with us on the ship in the respective country and answered all questions. The excursions were designed so that we could manage them well despite the extreme heat. Younger/more athletic people would probably want more exercise (there is a fitness room on board). During the excursions we learned a lot of interesting and amusing things about the respective area. In addition, every day had a very special highlight for us, such as the dragon dance in Can Tho or the trip through the water coconut forest in Ban Tre. In addition to our guide, there was always a member of the crew there to make sure that no one got lost (and probably in case of an emergency, which thankfully never happened).
In short: Despite the many places we visited and the many impressions we collected, it was an extremely relaxed vacation.

Absolutely everything on this cruise will have lived up to our expectations and it will be enough to summarize chronologically the essential elements to demonstrate it:
- Pre-contact of the Hospitality Director Eric Christophe by e-mail to discuss our arrival on board, present the context and answer our preliminary questions.
- punctual and pleasant transfer, with several comfort stops, from our hotel in Siem Reap to boarding in Kampong Cham.
- superb "vintage" decoration of cabins and common areas, total comfort in terms of bedding, sanitary and air conditioning.
- very warm welcome on board by all the personnel, warmth that has never wavered throughout the cruise, both by the service personnel on board and by the accompanying persons during the visits on land, whose concern we particularly appreciated during the various embarkations and disembarkations.
- perfect cabin maintenance services, catering and various services in perfect harmony with the desired standard.
- wise choices, varied in terms of mode of transport and well balanced in terms of the duration of the various shore excursions and associated visits.
The VOX communication system used during excursions is definitely a plus but, as the only "micro-flat" in this evaluation, it sometimes lacks scope in some places and it would seem useful to consider replacing it with a newer system of better performance and, if possible, without the current wire between the earpiece and the individual receiver which sometimes tangles with the phone cords!
A true faultless in summary that deserves without any hesitation the 5 stars we gladly awarded him.

Chers Martine, Philippe,
Merci beaucoup pour cette revue et surtout votre temps à l'écrire, nous apprécions beaucoup. Nous vous remercions pour tous ces détails et avons été honoré de vous avoir à bord et pouvoir vous servir durant cette semaine sur notre Mekong Princess. Nous avons bien note pour les Vox et déjà nous sommes en passe d'améliorer le système. Il a été très agréable de pouvoir communiquer en Français pour moi car ce n'est pas souvent que l'occasion se présente à mon grand désespoir. Nous vous souhaitons une bonne fin de vacances a Ho Chi Minh Villa – Saigon surtout un bon vol de retour en France et d’ores et déjà de bonnes fêtes de fin d’année avec la famille et amis. Nous espérons que vous garderez un souvenir impérissable de ce voyage et au plaisir de se revoir un jour. Encore mille mercis et tout le meilleur a vous quatre.

Our trip booking included 3 nights before the cruise in Saigon and 3 nights at the end of the cruise in Siem Reap. Both ends included very interesting and enjoyable tours conducted by local knowledgeable guides. However, our cruise on the Mekong Princess between these bookends was the best experience and went way beyond our expectations. It is evident that the Mekong Princess has been designed and built to the highest standards and that it meets its intended use with great ease. It fully delivered on the experiences that had been marketed to us. Such as mooring at some town centres and being able to walk to places of interest. Eric's staff on board all continually executed their duties to the highest standard, including taking great care of our health and safety needs. Food was delivered to a high standard with a variety of options available; there was something for everyone to enjoy. Good food, good wine and good company, including staff, made for a fun time. Every day there was well designed and expertly delivered shore excursions. They took us to small local communities where we were exposed to the way of life along the Mekong. This trip went beyond our expectations. I and sure it will for you as well. Alan and Andrea.

A cruise is something you usually do just once, right? Not with this one! We've done it three times because it's that unique! The Mekong Princess is not just a ship – it’s a floating world of unparalleled luxury, warmth, and discovery. Each time we step onboard, it feels like coming home, but with the magic and wonder of a brand-new adventure.
If you're reading this, believe us, everything is true and will exceed your wildest expectations. We should know! From the moment you step onto the gangway and Eric, the cruise director himself, greets you by name, you know you’re in for something extraordinary. Eric and his crew redefine hospitality. Their balance of attentiveness and respect for your privacy is sheer perfection. By the end of the trip, the staff will feel like family – so much so, you’ll start planning your return before you even disembark.
The service? Impeccable! Every need is anticipated, every detail thoughtfully handled. From the spotless suites cleaned multiple times a day to the dining room staff who somehow remember your preferences from the first evening, the level of care is astonishing. And the food? Each dish prepared by Chef On and his team is a masterpiece, blending local flavors with exquisite presentation. Every bite is a celebration of the Mekong’s rich culinary heritage.
Onboard, the Mekong Princess raises the bar for river cruising luxury. The suites are spacious, elegant, and designed with ultimate comfort in mind. Watching the river life drift by is pure serenity. The intimate size of the cruise means no overcrowded spaces – just a personal, exclusive escape where every guest is treated like royalty.
What sets this cruise apart even more is its heart. The Mekong Princess doesn’t just enrich its passengers – it gives back to the communities it visits. From supporting small local businesses to contributing to orphanages, you feel good knowing your travel leaves a positive impact.
This is more than just a vacation. It’s an experience that touches your soul. It’s the smiling faces of the crew, the shared laughter with fellow passengers, the sights and sounds of the Mekong River, and the sense of belonging you carry long after you’ve left. Thank you, Eric, and the fantastic Mekong Princess crew, for yet another voyage we’ll treasure forever.
And yes, we’ll be back – for the fourth time!

Thank you, Eric, and the fantastic Mekong Princess crew, for yet another voyage we’ll treasure forever.
And yes, we’ll be back – for the fourth time!

Dear Sonja & Rahel, waooooo such a touching review which almost bring tears to our eyes. You are not only dearly family member of Mekong Princess you are our best ambassadors. We are so much looking forward to seeing you back every time you leave the ship. The happiness of seeing you embarking overtake the pain seeing you leaving the ship. Your review will be shared amongst all onboard and with the whole world of travelling. I am still speechless on this review and would like to keep it for myself and the crew of the Mekong Princess. You will be always welcome like any family members and will always have a place onboard and in our hearts.

Good morning and thank you for your question
2 cases:
Upstream cruise from Vietnam to Cambodia
You should arrive in Vietnam with an E-Visa done online at least 10 days prior your flight. Visa on arrival are not possible unless you have an invitation letter. Express visa on arrival cost $250 per person versus $45 online.
For the Cambodian Visa this one can only be applied and process on the ship at the River border for $50 per person. ONLINE CAMBODIAN VISA TO CROSS THE BORDER ON THE SHIP ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
Downstream Cruise from Cambodia to Vietnam
You can make and it is recommended your visa on arrival to the airport $35 per person, mo ID picture needed - SIem Reap or Phnom Penh airport.
For the Vietnamese Visa it should be in your possession already precede online with the correct entry date and point of entry (can bract the ship for that)
Hope this can help you as Visas in those 2 countries can be an issue.
Regards
