At first glance, the triple-decker ship has the look of a hotel adrift on the Mekong Delta, water rippling like silk at the bow. Dressed in a coat of wood and metal, the Aqua departs from Hoh Chi Minh City to meander past tiny villages and floating markets. Along the way, trace the country roads on a bicycle or birdwatch from the comfort of a rooftop lounger - photographers at the ready! Serene interiors create a relaxing place to rest after a busy day packed with activities. Evenings are spent watching a classic at the cinema or enjoy the sunset over a cocktail.
From $1,150 person/night
The rooftop pool is rather glorious. Under stretched white canvas, it's a quiet and cooling spot to soak up the views!
The ship has two interconnecting suites, perfect for groups or if you'd like a little extra room to spread out.
The Aqua has more rooms than other boats on the Mekong. You won't feel overcrowded but it loses a few exclusivity points.
Set with fine china and crystal, the slinky dining room serves a medley of hearty cuisine including spiced curries and seafood (try the three-sauce sea bass), or more international fare. Enjoy a cup of Vietnamese coffee at the lounge or cocktails by candlelight at the rooftop bar. For your entertainment, there's foosball in the games room and local films played under the stars. Start your morning with yoga on the observation deck, blissful treatments at the spa or a dip in the pool.
Designed to maximise comfort, the cabins feature a California King-sized bed draped in silk, a chaise lounge by the panoramic windows and plenty of closet space. Eight suites open onto a tastefully furnished balcony - a winning spot for your morning cuppa. The en-suite bathrooms are rather sleek with black lacquered walls, a large rainfall shower and dual sinks. If booked, the interconnecting suites are decked out with cosy day beds and a sitting area.
The Aqua has the only private fleet of speed boats on the Mekong, which are ready to zip between riverside towns and idyllic walking trails. Stop to pick up handicrafts and homemade treats at the floating markets, cycle to find hidden temples in the countryside and learn a few tricks of the local trade - from mat weaving to fishing on a traditional sampan boat. Spend time with the chefs on a trip to choose ingredients before cooking a tasty Vietnamese lunch.
