Cruising the Mekong with Scenic Spirit & Aria

Scenic operates two ultra-luxury Mekong river ships:

• Scenic Spirit — built 2016, 68 guests, refined 2024.
• Scenic Aria — built 2014, 84 guests, refined 2024.

The intimate scale (compared with 200+ guest vessels from other lines) means access to small tributaries and traditional villages where larger ships simply cannot navigate.

Onboard atmosphere is Asian-themed — Cambodian and Vietnamese influences in dining, daily Buddhist blessing ceremonies, Apsara dance performances, and a wellness program with traditional Asian holistic treatments. Sun Deck pool with poolside bar is a refuge during tropical afternoons. Itineraries typically run 11–15 nights between Siem Reap (Tonle Sap) and Saigon, calling at Phnom Penh, Kampong Tralach, Vinh Long and the Cai Be floating market.
