Embark on a discovery cruise with the Bassac, venturing into the lush regions of the Mekong Delta and experiencing the river’s vibrant life overnight. In the afternoon, visit the countryside and meet its locals, while mornings are reserved for exploring what makes each destination unique, whether it’s a bustling market, a renowned historic house, or local handicrafts
