More tourist boat to be cruised along Mekong River

Travelling along the Mekong River from Laos and Cambodia to the Mekong Delta in Vietnam continues to be a popular choice among tourists, particularly international visitors. This route captivates a significant number of travelers annually. While it may be more expensive compared to other forms of transportation like trains or buses, the unique experiences and breathtaking natural scenery along the banks of the Mekong River truly justify the extra cost.

 

Many tourist boat agencies operating on the Mekong River are now expanding their fleets and scheduling more trips as of 2025. For instance, Pandaw Company, a leading provider of riverboat travel, has increased its fleet to 15 cruises, with a continued focus on the popular route between Ho Chi Minh City and Angkor Wat. Other companies, such as Indochina Sails and Mekong River Cruises, have also ramped up their operations to better tap into the burgeoning tourism potential of this beautiful waterway.

 

In addition to routes to Ho Chi Minh City, various operators are now offering additional trips to other destinations along the river, particularly from Tien Giang Province in Vietnam to Cambodia.

This growth is a positive indicator for the development of the tourism industry in the Mekong River Delta specifically and Vietnam as a whole, especially in light of the growing demand for eco-tourism and sustainable travel experiences. Recent trends indicate that Vietnam remains a vibrant market for exploring and capitalizing on the tourism sector, defying earlier projections of economic slowdown in this area.
