    As the Mekong reaches the end of its 2,700 mile journey to the South China Sea, it splits into a multitude of canals and waterways that meander through the Mekong Delta. An area of huge abundance it is a lush, green patchwork of paddy fields, vegetable patches, sugar cane plantations, orchards and grassy meadows, its waters a hive of activity with floating markets, fishermen, commuters and water buffalo all part of the idyllic tableau.

    Here, you are removed from the bustle of the cities and sights and immersed in a rural way of life that showcases a different side of Southeast Asia, where a fascinating mix of cultures - Vietnamese, Chinese, Khmer and Cham - all live in harmony with the river and each other.

    The very best way to discover this extraordinary destination is by taking to the waterways yourself on a Mekong River cruise. Those that explore the delta sail between the Vietnamese city of Can Tho and Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh, winding their way along the maze of waterways for you to admire the beautiful river scenery. To truly immerse yourself in this picturesque world however, there are certain places you should explore while you're there, all of which can be experienced on all Wendy Wu Tours featuring our deluxe Victoria Mekong ship.
    Tiger Island
    Tiger Island
    A tranquil island amid Mekong tributaries, Tiger Island is the perfect place to discover some of the cottage industries that flourish in the area. See skilful fingers weave fishing nets, watch the creation of the fragrant incense that burns in local temples and homes, or learn the process of making traditional banh in (rice cakes).
    Tan Loc Island
    Tan Loc Island
    This large island is home to lovely old colonial-era houses where, in their verdant gardens and orchards, you can experience Mekong hospitality with a cup of local tea and delicious fruit picked from just metres away. The island is also well known for its distilleries where they make local fruit wines, all available to taste.
    Tan Chau
    Tan Chau
    A town close to the border with Cambodia, Tan Chau is particularly known for its silk industry. A visit to a silk village is a fascinating experience as you'll get to see the entire process, from the silkworms bred on mulberry trees to traditional dying techniques and weaving on traditional looms.
    Tra Su Forest
    Tra Su Forest
    A unique and magical place, Tra Su is a submerged forest, home to a vast array of flora, bird, animal and marine life. Take to small boats and paddle slowly through this beautiful watery wonderland, passing through moss-shrouded trees and giant lily pads to the tranquil sounds of bird calls and rippling water.
    Experience it all on the Victoria Mekong
    Launched in December 2019, the Victoria Mekong is our sleek, modern four-star river cruising vessel. She sails on three and four night itineraries between the vibrant port of Can Tho and Cambodia's charismatic capital Phnom Penh, taking in the best sights and experiences of the Mekong Delta.
