There are many ways to explore
the Mekong Delta, yet the Bassac are certainly the most stylish and the most
authentic. These charming wooden cruisers explore the greener parts of the
delta in comfort, with en-route stops to visit villages and stroll rice fields,
sample fruit or just relax in the shade. Back on board after a short ride on a
longboat, an unforgettable moment is watching the sunset from the upper deck
while sailing through smaller waterways.
Built according to the tradition
of the Mekong rice barges - the first Bassac used to be a rice lighter - the
Bassac offer comfortably appointed cabins with air-con and en-suite bathroom,
large resting areas and a delicious fresh cuisine at every meal, from bread and
pastry at breakfast to classic cuisine for lunch and Mekong specialties for
dinner.
