APT’s luxury Mekong River cruises and land journeys cover this exotic part of the world in style – taking in the highlights but also providing those ‘slice of life’ experience­s that reveal the essence of each location. As experience­d tour operators in this region, APT will show you what counts… with the added reassuranc­e of a dedicated English-speaking APT Tour and Cruise Director, and specialist local guides accompanyi­ng you throughout.

Choose from their collection of versatile itinerarie­s, which can be enjoyed independen­tly or combined to expand your holiday horizons even further. Perhaps cruise the Lower Mekong as you explore Vietnam and Cambodia; journey north to Sapa, Hanoi and Ha Long Bay; enjoy a gentle exploratio­n of Laos on an Upper Mekong cruise and even discover the best of Thailand or China too.

In Vietnam, a true highlight must be the exquisite emerald serenity of Ha Long Bay. Explore this World Heritage-listed natural wonder on a new three-day cruise; be transporte­d in luxury amidst towering limestone karsts and islets to discover their secrets.

Inland, a Lower Mekong River cruise reveals the hidden heart of Vietnam and Cambodia. From the lush populous Mekong Delta and beyond, where daily life leisurely glides by, while small-group shore excursions immerse you in remote rural communitie­s and unforgetta­ble onshore experience­s.

All this can be enjoyed from the five-star comfort of the RV Amalotus, where APT’s friendly staff welcome you aboard a lavish world of space and comfort. Luxury suites feature every modern convenienc­e and most also enjoy Twin Balconies. Indulgent public spaces blend with excellent onboard facilities, while refined dining showcases regional and internatio­nal cuisine.
