Mekong Jewel
The newest ship on the oldest river. Built to listen.
Luxury sailing in Cambodia & Vietnam
A magnificent presence on the Mekong river, Mekong Jewel showcases authentic maritime architecture and exquisite interiors. Operated by Lotus Cruises, this vessel features 34 suites offering spectacular panoramas of the river.
As authorized luxury cruise specialists, we provide direct access to verified cabin allocations with our Best Price Guarantee, dedicated pre-trip concierge, and seamless door-to-ship private transfers.
On board a floating paradise
Designed with exclusivity in mind, every moment on board Mekong Jewel is one to be remembered.
The architects gave this ship something most river cruisers lack: breathing room. The two dining venues never feel crowded. The sundeck pool is big enough to actually swim in. The lounge has floor-to-ceiling windows that make the Mekong feel like a living painting — changing color, shifting mood, never the same river twice. Enjoy social spaces typical to larger cruise ships such as a lounge, dining room, and an expansive sundeck, all while keeping the peace and personalized service of a small luxury river vessel.

Flavors of the Mekong
The main dining room handles the evening theater — multi-course dinners where the chef explains each dish like a story. But the real magic happens at the alfresco venue upstairs, where lunch is served family-style and the cook might pull you aside to teach you how to roll a proper spring roll. Guests can expect seasonal menus showcasing the full repertoire of flavors from Vietnam and Cambodia in refined style. Our chefs use peak season produce and the freshest ingredients from the Mekong river and the region. Some of their signature creations include authentic curries and fresh seafood, most of which are served in a communal dining style authentic to the region's traditions.
Special dietary needs
We believe in creating exceptional culinary experiences which cater to every guest's unique needs. With cuisine being an integral part of our expeditions, we do our best to accommodate special dietary requirements and preferences. Our talented chefs are well-versed in a variety of preparations.
