Lotus Cruises
Lotus Cruises is a family business that builds, owns and operates luxury cruise vessels plying the Mekong river. Originally the first 5-star luxury cruise vessel on the Mekong, the RV Mekong Navigator was intricately designed, built and delivered in September 2014. Reminiscent in design of French, colonial-era, manor homes that one lined the streets of old Saigon, the 34-suite Mekong Navigator lends sophisticated, yet comfortable, ambiance while cruising the mighty Mekong river. Building on the foundations from previous partnerships with renowned US travel companies, Lotus Cruises has expanded within in a short period of 2 years. It now proudly partners with leading tour operators and travel companies from all around the world.
