Early in the morning, you will have the opportunity to participate in Tak Bat—the traditional... more+ offering in the streets of Luang Prabang. Dozens of monks and novices dressed in orange wind their way through the narrow streets of the old town. After a gourmet breakfast on board, we will start the day with a guided tour of the city that will take you to Wat Xieng Thong, the city's most famous temple and a masterpiece of Laotian architecture. We will then continue our exploration with a visit to the National Museum, housed in the former royal palace, where you will discover the fascinating history of Luang Prabang. We will then visit a local craft village. Back on the boat, this is where your expedition on the Mekong River really begins. From the very first hours of sailing, marvel at the wild splendor of northern Laos: lush greenery, mist-covered mountains, and isolated villages nestled along the river.

In this remote village, you will have the rare opportunity to meet the locals and visit the local school, supported by generous contributions from Mekong cruise travelers. These moments of warm exchange will give you a privileged insight into Hmong culture.

Right next to the waterfalls is the "Free the Bears" rescue center, dedicated to the protection and conservation of sun and moon bears (Malayan and Tibetan bears), an endangered species throughout Southeast Asia. Here you will learn more about the considerable efforts being made to rehabilitate these adorable creatures.
In the evening, we will dock a little earlier to prepare our famous barbecue on the banks of the river, under a starry sky and in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Once there, you will witness a demonstration of a fascinating traditional craft: the distillation of Lao-Lao, the famous rice whiskey of Laos. Miss Somechan Khonpachith, who has perfected this art, will not only share with you the secrets of this ancestral technique, but will also invite you to a tasting. Back on board, you will enjoy a delicious lunch as your boat resumes its journey to Luang Prabang. The afternoon will be free to explore the city at your own pace.
