Discover Mekong River with Bassac Cruise
2 Days (Code-VMK26)
------------
All three Bassac are built of wood according to the tradition of the rice barges of the Mekong delta,
with amendments where safety standards require. The Bassac are elegant rides sharing the same
standards and mostly differing in size. Bassac I actually once was a rice barge, which we bought and
overhauled into the cozy cabin cruiser it is today, and although Bassac II and III are entirely new hull
designs, more adapted to their present purpose, they were built with the same craftsmanship and
according to the same tradition.
