Summary

Never since Legree’s 1866 Mekong expedition has “comfort” been an option on the river…. until today!  Cruise the mighty Mekong River hundreds of kilometers experiencing “Isan”.  While the 14 well-appointed cabins & wide open decks of this large boutique Mekong cruise ship provide many opportunities to simply enjoy views of NE Thailand’s natural beauty and the rugged karst landscapes of central Laos, its also a perfect base for daily field trips to experience the ancient seasonal rhythms of rural life, and the beliefs & unique bedrock traditions of Mekong tribal, Thai and Lao cultures.  Home to half the Thai people and the poorest part of the Kingdom, Isan traditions remain strong while cultural hybrids flourish alongside them, making Isan extremely interesting.  Briefings from our cruise director & local guides on daily excursions give context & perspective & context.
