From the warm welcome cocktail to the very end, everything was exceptional. The cruise moves at a relaxed pace, giving you plenty of time to take in the beautiful scenery and enjoy the experience. We chose the upper deck, which offered stunning views and made the trip even more memorable. The food was outstanding, with every course beautifully prepared and delicious. This was the perfect way to spend our last sunset, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, you won’t regret it. Thank you for making our final sunset so special!

“The Mekong was flat and drama-free” 🇱🇦 One of the most extraordinary experiences we had in Laos was the Mekong cruise. We chose @riversunlaos for its wooden boats with white awnings, which fluttered in the river breeze. Simple and elegant, they exude an atmosphere of times gone by. The sunset cruise starts at 4:30 PM and lasts 2.5 hours. During these hours of slow navigation along the Mekong, we enjoyed a beautiful show of traditional dance and music. 🥂Aperitif with chips and peanuts 🍲Two-course dinner (Laos-Western) 🍰Dessert 🍷🍺1 drink of your choice 💰€38 per person 🔝Impeccable service 😋Excellent dinner 🌅 The sunset on the Mekong will remain one of the most beautiful memories of our lives. trips 🇱🇦Thank you Laos for giving us intense emotions, we will keep them forever in our hearts 🇬🇧“The Mekong was flat and without drama” 🇱🇦 One of the most extraordinary experiences we had in Laos was the Mekong cruise We chose @riversunlaos for its wooden boats with white curtains, waving moves from the river breeze, simple and elegant where you can breathe an atmosphere of yesteryear The sunset cruise starts at 16:30 and lasts 2h30 minutes, during these hours of slow sailing along the course of the Mekong, we witnessed a beautiful show of traditional dances and music 🥂Aperitif with chips and peanuts 🍲Two course dinner (Laos-Western) 🍰Desserts 🍷🍺1 drink of your choice 💰$42 per person 🔝Impeccable service 😋Great dinner 🌅 The sunset over the Mekong will remain one of the most beautiful memories of our travels
