Cruise the Mekong

A cruise to remember.
Cruise the mighty Mekong river aboard "The Nagi of Mekong" a 32 meter traditional style riverboat.


The majestic Mekong River has been the lifeblood of the region since time immemorial, from its humble origins deep in the Tibetan plateau, down to the delta rice lands of Vietnam. Now you can taste its alluring aura in a cruise along the stretch from Houy Xai to Luang Phra Bang. Aboard the regal Nagi of Mekong , you can experience the history and drama of this eminent watercourse and thrill to the spectacular scenery of riverine forests and looming emerald mountains.
During the nine-hour leisurely cruise on this elegant riverboat you will pass by remote rustic villages of the lowland Lao peoples and of ethnic hilltribes, and take a tour of the revered and mysterious Tam Ting caves. A river cruise unparalleled anywhere in the world!
The Nagi makes the trip to Luang Prabang in one day. The 330 horsepower Hino turbo not only provides speed, but makes the ride smooth as polished glass.
The boat departs at 8:30 in the morning and arrives at approximately 5:30 in the evening.
Hot food and cold drinks are served on board.

For more information, prices and booking please go to the Nagi of Mekong website

This sounds like the way to go. Comfortable, yet only one full day. Has anyone tried it ? How was it ?

I did the trip from Chiengkhong to Luang Prabang last year on this boat. I enjoyed every minute of it. The landscape on both sides of the river is amazing and a must see. The boat is large enough to give the comfort of the regualar Lao passenger boats (well the regular boats don't really have comfort but are more secure than the speed boats) and the speed of the speed boat. During this one-day trip there was still enough time to stop and visit this carve where they have a nice temple, and some Lao villages. Be careful with the Lao Khau, or whatever this schnaps is called, very strong indeed...
The people on the boat give an excellent service and the price I found more than reasonable!
