Each of the vessel’s elegant air-conditioned suites is a beautiful and tranquil retreat with a full touch of luxury. There is a choice of five categories: four Superior Suites, 10 Vista Suites, 16 Signature Suites, two Prestige Suites and two Grand Suites with private verandas. The suites range in size from 258sq-ft to 545sq-ft and each has a marble bathroom with shower.
Other amenities include queen-sized beds that can be converted to twins, premium mattresses and fine bed linens, TVs with on-demand movies, in-room safes and mini-fridges. If you opt for the Prestige or the Grand Suites, you’ll have the additional benefit of a king-sized bed, butler service, a complimentary one-hour spa treatment, evening canapes and free laundry service.
A Good Place To Be
As you step aboard the 230-ft Navigator, you’ll be transported back in time to a more gracious, bygone era with gorgeous interiors reminiscent of a luxury hotel. The ship comprises four decks lined with ornate balconies, teak floors and sumptuous furnishings.
The shaded Sun Deck is a favorite place to watch the busy life of the Mekong unfold along the riverbanks, while Le Salon Lounge is the perfect spot to socialise and enjoy a cocktail. This is where the movie nights and cultural performances take place. In La Bibliothèque Library, you can immerse yourself in a wide selection of books from authors who were enchanted by Indochina. Work out at the Fitness Centre or indulge in a relaxing aromatherapy treatment, body wrap, or massage at La Vie Spa.
A Gastronomic Journey
In Le Marche Restaurant, you can look forward to an innovative menu of fine French-lndochine inspired cuisine as well as a selection of Western alternatives. Relish the fresh fruit and vegetables grown by the local farmers, and complimentary house wine at dinner.
Unique Excursions And Community Support
The Mekong Navigator cruise offers exciting and inclusive daily excursions, such as visits to temples, floating markets, local schools and a monastery, ensuring that you’ll be able to truly immerse yourself in the different places you visit along this historic river. Your guides are recruited from the local communities and will be able to answer all of your questions about Mekong life. They are happy to chat with you on board and tell you their fascinating personal stories, so don’t hesitate to start a conversation.
The Beauty Of Slow Travel
While the boat is on the move, take time to observe the busy life on the river – the fishermen in Cambodia, the industrial ships in Vietnam, the stilted houses, floating villages and farms. A journey on the Mekong Navigator is perfectly suited to discerning couples looking to explore the wonders of Asia in lavish comfort and style, as well as solo travelers who have a preference for the more traditional-yet-sophisticated style of cruising.
