Two new vessels. A growing fleet. New possibilities for tailor-made journeys on the Mekong.
We are delighted to announce the launch of Lyra Mekong and HolidayMax Mekong by Victoria Mekong Cruises, two new additions to our expanding fleet.
Their arrival opens a new chapter for the Victoria Mekong fleet. In addition, it creates more opportunities for charter partners and private groups.
Guests can explore Vietnam and Cambodia at their preferred pace. They can also shape the journey around their interests and travel needs.
Designed Around the Mekong
Lyra Mekong and HolidayMax Mekong bring guests closer to the landscapes, cultures and rhythms of the river.
Throughout the journey, generous indoor and outdoor spaces support both private moments and shared experiences. Guests can begin the day with quiet river views from their balcony.
Later, they can relax on deck or gather for sunset drinks. Each vessel also brings its own character to the Victoria Mekong fleet.
Together, they continue our commitment to thoughtful and immersive journeys through the region.
River-Facing Cabins and Suites
Onboard accommodation features 38 cabins and suites across three categories, with capacity for up to 80 guests.
Deluxe Cabins feature modern interiors, panoramic windows and private balconies. Meanwhile, Premium Deluxe Cabins offer additional space and river-view bathtubs.
For an elevated stay, the Mekong Suite and Victoria Suite offer spacious living areas and private outdoor spaces. Guests can use these areas for dining, relaxation or sunset drinks.
Above all, every category keeps guests connected to the Mekong. The river remains visible from the room, balcony and private outdoor areas.
Spaces for Dining, Wellness and Relaxation
Claypot Restaurant serves Vietnamese, Cambodian, Asian and international cuisine. Panoramic windows also keep the river landscape present throughout each meal.
Meanwhile, the Horizon Lounge provides a relaxed setting for refreshments, destination briefings and group gatherings. Guests can also enjoy drinks beside the pool or on the open-air decks.
In addition, onboard facilities include a swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa and fitness areas. A cinema, presentation room and discovery space offer further options during the journey.
Together, these spaces give guests the freedom to enjoy each day in their own way. They can unwind after an excursion or spend a quiet afternoon overlooking the river.
Culture, Discovery and Entertainment
Life on board extends beyond accommodation and facilities. Programmes can be tailored to the itinerary, season and interests of each charter group, creating more opportunities to connect with the food, traditions and stories of Vietnam and Cambodia.
Experiences may include regional cooking demonstrations, cultural talks, traditional performances, creative workshops, yoga and tai chi, cocktail-making, film screenings, live music and evening entertainment.
The final programme is developed around each journey, allowing onboard activities to complement the destinations and experiences encountered along the river.
A Private Journey Shaped Around Your Group
A whole-vessel charter gives each group greater freedom to shape its Mekong journey.
First, charter partners can select their preferred travel period, route and journey duration. They can then develop dining, excursion and onboard programmes around the group’s interests.
Charter options may cover:
• Travel period and journey duration
• Embarkation and disembarkation points
• Shore excursions and cultural experiences
• Dining and onboard programmes
• Private events and celebrations
• Special-interest or themed journeys
• Group-specific service requirements
The journey may serve an exclusive travel group, incentive programme, private celebration or special-interest group.
In every case, our team starts by understanding the people who will travel. We then consider each element as part of one complete Mekong journey.
Private Charter Enquiries for 2029 and Beyond
Lyra Mekong and HolidayMax Mekong by Victoria Mekong Cruises are fully chartered through the end of 2028.
We are now welcoming private charter enquiries for 2029 and beyond.
Early planning gives charter partners greater flexibility to align their preferred travel period, journey duration, group profile and programme requirements with future charter seasons.
