Shore excursions & land activities

The Mekong Princess focuses on immersive land-based exploration rather than water-based activities. Guests enjoy a variety of guided shore excursions that provide a deep dive into the local culture, history, and natural environment of the Mekong Delta. Daily itineraries include visits to traditional riverside villages, ancient temples, and bustling local markets. These excursions are led by expert naturalists and local guides who offer insights into the region's unique heritage and daily life, ensuring a meaningful and educational experience for all guests.

Booking & Travel FAQ

How does the booking process work?

Select a cabin and departure on Mekong Princess, and we send a real-time inquiry to the operator. After availability is confirmed, you receive a booking confirmation by email and secure your spot with a deposit.

When do I need to pay?

A deposit (usually 25-35%) is due upon confirmation. The remaining balance is typically due 4-8 weeks before departure, depending on the operator.

What documents will I receive?

After your final payment, you'll receive a travel voucher with meeting point, embarkation time, airport transfer details, packing tips, and your full itinerary.

How do I get to the cruise ship?

Adventure cruise ships embark at a designated port or meeting point, depending on the itinerary. Some operators arrange airport pickup, group flights or transfers; check your booking confirmation and travel voucher for what is included. We recommend arriving in the gateway city at least one day before departure, unless your operator provides different instructions.

What clothing and footwear should I bring?

Bring sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for shore visits, and comfortable clothing suited to your destination's weather. Pack breathable layers, a sun hat and sun protection for warm regions; for colder or wetter conditions, add warm layers and a waterproof, windproof jacket. Check the operator's packing list for landing footwear, any supplied equipment and specific requirements.

Can I cancel or change my booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator and are in your confirmation. Generally, the earlier you cancel the higher the refund. Changes depend on availability, contact us as soon as possible.
