There is nothing quite as extraordinary as a river cruise through the Mekong region of Southeast
Asia. Blend two incredible visits- Vietnam and Cambodia- in one single journey to capture the
essence of what makes this region of the world so rewarding to visit. Quaint villages run for
thousands of kilometers making way to grand riverside cities, both with are inspiring visits.
There’s no better way to explore this grand region than a veritable floating luxury hotel. The
Aqua Mekong Cruise ship was designed by a renowned British architect that has constructed the
vessel from locally sourced materials. Float along the river as thousands of years of culture and
tradition flow by. Rooms are equipped with grand movie-screen windows and luxurious
outfittings which make ones stay simply unforgettable. Look on as wildlife sits virtually
undisturbed and villages go about their daily life.

large groups traveling together. Master bedrooms are flanked by his and hers bathrooms with
all the high-end amenities one would expect in a five-star hotel.
The experience doesn’t end with the sites and accommodation- even the cuisine is out of this
world. Manned by an internationally renowned chef, David Thompson, guests will sample the
brilliant flavors of the region through delicately chosen dishes utilizing the freshest local
ingredients that you can help select as you arrive into different towns. Spend your down time
watching films on board about the beautiful Mekong region or simply watch out as sunrise and
sunset paint incredible colors along the waterfront. Plunge pools, an air-conditioned library and
private deck cabanas are only a few of the other amenities that make a stay on the Aqua truly

22 May 2024 ★★★★★Our recent trip to China and Mongolia was a great success. Overall we found Absolute Asia Tours services to be excellent throughout the two weeks we were in Asia. For us, Mongolia was definitely the highlight. We thoroughly enjoyed or local guides and drives and they were unfailingly knowledgeable, helpful and amusing. Their languages skills were excellent and we felt that we recieved real insight into this fascinating country. We were intinially drawn to the idea of this trip by the reports of the world class fihing and we were absolutely not disappointed. The fishing guide was first rate and we caught more fish than we could have hoped for - more than 25 each day - with the added bonus of being the only other people in sight for miles arround. AAT created a private ger camp for us on the Onon River and we enjoyed delicious food prepared by our chef in a beautiful unspoled atmosphere. They alo arranged for us to visit a nomadic family and spend time with them at home and organized a dinner with an anthropologist with expert knowledge of the region. AAT fullfilled their promise to tkae us to us to one of the world's best fishing destinations in comfort and style. We would be happy to travel with AAT again and will definitely recommend them to our friends.

17 January 2024 ★★★★★Absolute Asia tours gave us a wonderful tour of Southeast Asia (working with sister-agency My Way Travel based in Vietnam). For our Siem Reap/Angkor Wat journey, our party of two had a private driver and guide named Jak, who was a cheerful and knowledgeable companion, explaining the history, culture, architecture and religious significance of the sites while keeping it always fun. We moved efficiently from site to site, and finished with a boat tour of the fishing village on stilts at Kampong Pluk on the Tonle Sap Lake. During most of our trip we stayed at top-notch locally-owned hotels, but in Siem Reap we were at the excellent local Hyatt hotel. Absolute Asia and My Way Travel our outstanding local providers, less expensive than name-brand group tours, and customized to our interests and schedule.
