Majestic Aqua Mekong

This majestic and colonial inspired hotel promises elegance and sophisticated design, with the comfort of a luxurious pool and world-class spa. In the heart of Saigon, the hotel is perfectly located for exploring the most popular attractions – visit cultural and historical locations such as the Opera House, Notre Dame Cathedral and the Reunification Palace all by foot. For those wishing to delve deeper into the painful history of the Vietnam War, head to the Cu Chi tunnels, used tactically by Viet Cong soldiers during combat.

For a truly immersive experience, embark on an exquisite seven night cultural journey up the Mekong river to Siem Reap aboard the Aqua Mekong. Described as one of Asia’s finest river cruise ships, this luxurious floating hotel promises everything and more. Overlook transitioning panoramic views from your bed, taste Michelin-star chef David Thompson’s expert local dishes, sip sundowners on the outdoor deck, and watch a film under the stars. The private fleet of launch boats takes guests to landmarks, local villages and temples along the way, promising a different adventure around every corner.

Once you’ve reached Siem Reap you’ll spend three nights at Raffles, a heritage landmark and colonial style hotel nearby the river. Set in 15 acres of garden and decorated with 19th century prints of Cambodian history, the hotel’s Restaurant Le Grand is one of the finest places for Khmer cuisine and their swimming pool is the vastest in Cambodia. Awake pre-dawn to uncover the temples of Angkor at sunrise before the crowds arrive; move on to discover the town’s fascinating markets and eateries. Organise a boat trip around the floating villages of Tonlé Sap Lake and attend a traditional circus performance by night.
