Real Guests - Real Opinions

Wonderful cruise! We loved every minute of our two day upstream cruise - Luang Prabang to Huay Xai. The tour guide, Sommay, was excellent. Fun, informative and very caring.

We booked a cruise from Houayxay to Luang Prabang and were very happy with our choice. The crew and our guide, Somay were wonderful. It all felt very comfortable and safe. Food on board was freshly prepared and very good.

We had a very nice and relaxing cruise from Huoaxay to Luang Prabang, the boat wasn't crowded and very comfortable! The food was also very good and there was something for everyone.

Had a lovely time on this 2 day cruise. The guide was very informative and friendly. Food was lovely. Good variety of seating options- good for long trip. Everything clean and new.

What a fantastic experience! We were met shortly before entering Laos, filled out the documents together, and then drove to the beautiful boat. Everything was professionally organized, and we wholeheartedly recommend the cruise.

OUR STORY

A New Journey Begins

Founded in 1999, Mekong Cruises became known for blending adventure and serenity. But in 2020, the global pandemic brought operations to a halt, leaving the river quiet for five years.

The Luang Say Lodge, the charming riverside retreat in Pakbeng, also went silent. During this time, however, it underwent a transformation—its elegant rooms refreshed and its organic garden revived, ready to welcome guests once more.

Now, in 2025, Mekong Cruises is embarking on a new chapter. The boats are back to gliding along the river, and the Luang Say Lodge is reopening to travelers seeking peace, culture, and connection.

This is more than a reopening—it’s a rebirth. Rediscover the timeless beauty of the Mekong and create new memories along its shores.
