To say the Delta is 'green' is a bit of an understatement. Consisting of countless, crisscrossing waterways, the lushness and abundance of the area is astounding – a patchwork of rice paddies, orchards, palm trees, sugar cane plantations and vegetable fields.

Floating through the delta, the water is always a hive of activity, be it a floating market - boats plying the water piled high with local produce, fishermen angling for their daily catch, locals commuting to and from their villages or water buffalo wallowing in the shallows.

Away from the hustle and bustle of the cities, the delta offers an amazing natural and tranquil retreat, and is a delightful place to explore.

Surely the best way to explore the aquatic wonderland of the Mekong is to cruise the river itself - and the best way to enjoy a Mekong River cruise is aboard our new cruise vessel, Victoria Mekong. This purpose-built, eco-friendly vessel is in a class of her own and, combined with one of our award-winning tours, represents an unbeatable way to see Vietnam.
