Overview
An Asian river cruise offers a unique way to explore the continent’s diverse landscapes, rich history, and vibrant cultures.
Beyond history and culture, Asia’s rivers provide access to stunning natural beauty and local ways of life. Cruising through lush jungles, floating past riverside farms, or watching traditional fishing boats glide across the water adds to the sense of adventure. These river cruises offer an intimate and immersive way to experience the heart of Asia, far from the usual tourist paths.
Mekong River: Explore bustling cities and experience rural towns throughout Vietnam and Cambodia.
Indian Rivers: Immerse yourself in one of the world's oldest civilizations as you sail along the Indian riverbanks and learn about its centuries-long history and rich cultural traditions.
Whether seeking spiritual landmarks, scenic landscapes, or vibrant cityscapes, an Asia river cruise delivers an unforgettable journey through some of the world's most captivating destinations.

Key highlights include the magnificent temples of Angkor Wat (often a pre/post-cruise extension for Mekong sailings) or significant historical landmarks along the Yangtze in China. These sites offer a profound glimpse into ancient civilizations and spiritual practices.

Experience the authentic pulse of Asia by visiting traditional riverside villages, observing daily life unfold, and navigating colorful, bustling markets. Highlights include the Mekong Delta's floating markets, local artisan workshops, and community interactions that provide genuine cultural exchange.

Many itineraries offer opportunities to witness or participate in local customs, from spiritual rituals on the Ganges in India to traditional Apsara dance performances in Cambodia (Mekong), or local craft demonstrations. These experiences provide deeper cultural understanding and memorable encounters.

Asian river cruises are a culinary journey. Enjoy freshly prepared local specialties onboard, participate in cooking classes, and explore local food markets. From Vietnamese pho and Cambodian amok to regional Chinese delicacies or Indian curries, tasting the authentic flavors is a highlight.

Each Asian river offers unique vistas. Be captivated by the serene rice paddies and palm-fringed banks of the Mekong, or the spiritual ghats lining the Ganges. The ever-changing scenery from the river is a constant delight.
