Dragon Eyes Cruise: An Unforgettable Mekong River Cruise for Family Vacations

If you’re considering a short family trip in southern Vietnam, why not take a river cruise to the vast waters and the tiny canals of the lush Mekong Delta, or even across to Cambodia? Here’s Dragon Eyes Cruise, where you can charter the entire vessel for a family journey in exclusive privacy.

1. Private Family Cruisers of the Mekong Eyes Fleet

The Dragon Eyes boats were designed in the classic Mekong Delta river boat style by local shipwrights. Their shallow yet elegant hulls allow them to navigate the Mekong River's small channels that bigger cruisers cannot. There, you will see the tranquil riverfront lifestyle that makes the Mekong Delta so special.

At the same time, the Dragon Eyes boat still provides ample space for relaxation and privacy. Each Dragon Eye boat has around 100 square meters with 2 spacy private cabins, which is extremely suitable for a family of 4-6 members. Each guest room comes with 14-16 square meters and is equipped with individual air conditioning, a nicely designed bathroom, a private sitting area, and panorama windows for fantastic Mekong River views.

Most interiors and furnishings are made of unique tropical woods that have been certified as sustainable forest plantations and built by Vietnamese master craftsmen. All key technical equipment, including engines, navigation, air conditioning, water purification, and fire protection system, is imported from Japan or Europe.

Meanwhile, the cruise team will do everything they can to provide you with all of the amenities and comfort you need throughout your Mekong River cruise. The captain and his deckhand are in control of the technical aspects and route. An expert chef and service staff will guide you on a gourmet trip around Vietnam. Your personal tour guide will introduce to you all the must-see destinations in the Mekong Delta while also explaining the cultural features and lifestyle of local people.
