Laos has a magical atmosphere, almost totally bypassed by the demands of modern tourism. You still feel you are finding new totally new experiences on a day by day, almost hour by hour basis. This is particularly reflected in these two cruise options – they will appeal essentially to those looking for simple elegance and to desire to discover. As you would probably anticipate, the actual itineraries may be varied on a day to day basis depending on the seasonal water levels. Both suggestions will appeal to the more curious, experienced traveller and especially the southern Laos option.
We tailor design every itinerary and would recommend you combine these cruises with either Thailand, Cambodia or even Vietnam. Ask us for suggestions.
