Vientiane's river port stands apart by pairing sublime river scenery with a living, walkable city experience. Here, signature moments unfold along the Mekong: a dawn almsgiving walk along the water's edge, a private lantern-lit visit to That Luang, and a Lao banquet ashore or on deck as the city glows at sunset. The port serves as a gateway to unforgettable excursions—gentle cruises to Buddha Park (Xieng Khuan) just outside town; serene trips to Nam Ngum Lake with hillside villages and craft workshops; and easy city tours that reveal a blend of gilded wats, French colonial architecture, and the buzzing Talat Sao market. The fleet is designed for shallow Mekong waters, featuring intimate mid-sized river ships with panoramic decks, spacious cabins, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the ever-changing river landscape. Onboard services echo Lao warmth and modern comfort: locally inspired cuisine, spa rituals based on Lao herbs, cultural talks and cooking classes, attentive multilingual crews, and flexible shore excursions that let guests choose their pace. In Vientiane, every call becomes a curated immersion - where heritage, nature, and river life converge into a cruise port that feels both intimate and utterly distinctive.
