Afterward, board the Song Xanh Sampan for a relaxing cruise along the bustling waterways of the Mekong Delta. Along the way, we'll stop to visit local cottage industries that creatively utilize regional resources such as rice and coconuts. As we journey along the iconic Mekong, observe daily life along the riverbanks, from fishermen checking their catch to floating houses delicately balanced on the river's surface.

Upon arriving in Sa Dec, step ashore to explore the vibrant outdoor market. Visit the historic home of the real-life inspiration for Marguerite Duras's acclaimed novel and film "The Lover". End the day with a candlelit dinner in this enchanting house.

Spend your first night aboard the Song Xanh Sampan, drifting gently on the Tien River.

After enjoying breakfast on board, the cruise continues towards Vinh Long along a narrow river, passing several stilt houses before arriving at Cai Tau Ha, a charming village. Take a leisurely stroll along the riverbank to visit a temple that specializes in making traditional herbal medicines, or venture deeper into the village to observe blacksmiths crafting various farming tools and iron objects used in daily life.

Lunch will be served back on board before we set off to explore a clay pot factory in Vinh Long. Afterward, we’ll return to our sampan to navigate the smaller tributaries of the river.

Before sunset, we’ll stop at a small village in Vinh Long. Enjoy shore excursions to learn more about the local way of life, including a visit to a Cao Dai temple.

Back on board, dinner will be served as the Song Xanh cruises toward the Hau River.

We started our journey early, around 6:30 AM, to visit the renowned Cai Rang Floating Market. Breakfast was served on board as the Song Xanh cruised toward the market, weaving among local barges brimming with fresh fruits and vegetables. Don’t forget to have your camera ready to capture stunning shots from this one-of-a-kind perspective! Afterward, we continued cruising toward Victoria Can Tho and disembarked at the hotel’s private jetty.
