Each passenger deck on Victoria Mekong is accessible by an elevator as well as a large staircase.
After such exhilaration, guests cruising on the Victoria Mekong can retire to Deluxe Cabins located on either the River Deck or Panorama Deck, or to spacious aft-facing VIP Suites on the ship’s Panorama Deck, all of which boast panoramic French windows, ensuite bathroooms with rain showers, bathrobes and slippers, convertible beds laden with luxurious linens and premium mattresses plumped each night with the daily turndown service, generous closet and under-bed storage, 24-hour laundry service, and views to match those of the Sky Deck but with the extra privacy afforded from your own private balcony.
