CF Mekong by CroisiEurope Anmeldelser 

Many thanks to Youty and Hazel at the CroisiEurope Office in Cambodia for all their help and assistance in booking our trip between 22nd December and 31st December 2025.

This Cruise is exceptional in all respects and enables one to thoroughly experience the real Culture of Vietnam and Cambodia in a very unique way.

The Toum Tiou II is a wonderful looking boat and makes one feel one is travelling back in time with all the excellent amenities and Cabins.

Many thanks to the outstanding Mitch and his crew who are all 'Stars' 24/7. The happiest and most satisfying boat cruise we have ever taken. The Service and care the Crew give is 100% at all times. All the food is totally 5 Star. If it wasn't for the exercise one does experiencing all the incredibly interesting excursions, one would be considerably heavier by the end of the Cruise. Walking, cycling, canoeing, Sampans, Tuk Tuks, are all great fun. Something for all ages and always an alternative back-up should one need it.

This Cruise surpassed all our expectations and we would highly recommend it to all.

Many thanks

Incredible value. I did a similar 9day/8night New Discovery cruise tour aboard the Toum Tiou 2 six months ago traveling Siem Reap to Saigon. For my bucket list experience this time I did the reverse. The 14-cabin boat in the colonial style creates laid-back traveling on the Mekong with lots of land excursions into the 'real' Asia. My room featured a double bed. There was a lot of variety in the food served. Staff including the captain, purser and housekeeping were friendly, warm and helpful. Recommend.

Loved this cruise. It is a small ship (max of 28 passengers) with active and cultural excursions off the boat every day - walking tours, cycling tours, kayaking, Tuk Tuk tours, boat rides (sampans, row boats and motor boats), museums, markets (food and clothes)...It was a very busy, fun and interesting itinerary. I feel I have a real insight now into how local people live along the Mekong River in Cambodia and Vietnam.

Sailing the Mekong on the intimate Toum Tiou II was nothing short of extraordinary. Over nine days, my mum and I were cared for with warmth, attentiveness and genuine hospitality.

As a coeliac, I was amazed by the safe, delicious meals prepared just for me – from gluten-free pho to pastries waiting at breakfast each morning. The crew’s care turned meals from stressful to joyful.

Excursions felt authentic and flexible, giving us the freedom to explore separately or together, while the small group size made it easy to connect with fellow travellers. The atmosphere onboard was relaxed, comfortable and deeply personal – more like being part of a community than just passengers on a ship.

The only thing I would do differently next time is book the all-inclusive package so drinks and bonus activities were covered from the start.

A truly unforgettable, coeliac-safe journey that I will treasure forever.

Une croisière magnifique de 9 jours sur la rivière Tonle Sap puis sur le Mekong sur un bateau intimiste de 14 cabines.
Tout était parfait, l'ambiance surranée du bateau décoré tout en bois exotique, l'équipage tout entier aux petits soins et aux sourires permanents, la cuisine délicieuse et copieuse et le programme des visites intéressant et varié.
La taille du bateau contribue a créer une proximité entre les covoyageurs et nous avons fait de très belles rencontres notamment dans le groupe francophone. Pour résumer, tout était parfait. Merci à tous

Super excited. Very top notch and very much enjoyed. Well done

We sailed from Siem Riep to Saigon on Toum Tiou II. The ship is lovely and comfortable and the crew efficient and nice. The food is tasty and diverse. We discovered many beautiful sites ( temples, museums, islands, rivers) and had also several opportunities to catch a glimpse of how people live and work in Cambodia and Vietnam.

This was my first cruise, and although I've visited Cambodia and Vietnam before, cruising down the Mekong from Siem Reap to Ho Chi Minh City was an unforgettable way to experience this unique part of the world. Since the RV Toum Tiou II is a compact ship, we were able to stay close to the shoreline for an immersive cultural experience with excursions into villages, markets, temples, towns and cities. I have to say Cambodians are some of the happiest people I've ever met.

Onboard the cabins were very comfortable with private ensuites and air-conditioning (trust me, you'll be very grateful for this luxury), the food was tasty and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. I can't think of a more perfect way to end each day than with a G&T on the sundeck at sunset.

The 8-day Discovery Cruise is a great way to introduce yourself to the world of cruising or for anyone with a passion for soft adventure with a Cambodian & Vietnamese twist.

I joined the Toum Tiou II with CF Mekong Cruises as a media guest, so my experience aboard wasn't necessarily typical of what a paying guest might have, but nonetheless, I can't recommend it highly enough.
