Asia cruises
Travelling through Asia is an enchanting experience, with unforgettable highlights and the experience of local life. Seeing it all can be hard, but river cruising is the ideal way to uncover these delights. Imagine checking into a luxurious cabin and unpacking just once, while all the sights and sounds come to you, with the conveniences of a boutique hotel at your fingertips. Enjoy impeccable service, spacious, air-conditioned cabins with private balconies on most cruises, and on-board facilities including restaurants and bars, sun decks, swimming pools and spas. It is common to stop at small villages and markets to experience local life. We use boutique ships, with high staff to passenger ratios and the chance to meet other travellers, and access areas on-shore where a larger group would not be able to go.
Mekong River cruises
The Mekong River is the lifeblood of Indochina, and home to some of the most memorable boat journeys in Asia. Travel Indochina has been exploring the Mekong River for 19 years developing expertise that others just can’t match. Once it was all longtail boats, converted rice barges, and passenger ferries plying the Mekong River, and while our travellers still enjoy the local flavour of these options, for longer trips a new wave of river cruises is clearing the way for an intimate and luxurious, yet still authentic experience of Indochina and the Mekong.
