Victoria Mekong fuses Asian-inspired interiors and features a pool with sun deck bar, contemporary Asia-themed bar and lounge with luxurious soft furnishings.

There is also a signature restaurant with a locally inspired menu that showcases native cuisine from the region.

The ship has 33 spacious deluxe cabins plus two luxurious VIP suites, all with private bathrooms and private balconies.

Wendy Wu Tours offers six unique itineraries which, for the first time, will sail from the much quieter port at Can Tho Pier to Phnom Penh and return whereas most cruises sail from Mỹ Tho, a much busier and crowded port.

This route also allows Victoria Mekong to explore the off the beaten track areas and to experience more unique offshore excursions along the Mekong Delta.
