Victoria Mekong, the newest ship built to cruise in the Mekong Delta, is set to be ceremonially launched on 31 August. This major milestone will see the sleek 35-cabin ship being transferred from land to water. Interior construction will continue for 3 more months before her journey to Can Tho Harbour, while the inaugural sailing is confirmed for 11 December as planned. The ship will be officially christened by her Godmother, in the presence of Kien Tran Trong, CEO of Thien Minh Group.
The brand new 4-star ship will be one of the first to cruise out of Can Tho, the Mekong Delta’s largest city. Located three hours by road from Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho is set to become one of Vietnam’s hottest destinations, with the launching of new flight routes this past summer between Can Tho International Airport and the capital cities of Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. Vietnamese airlines already connect Can Tho to a host of Vietnamese cities, including Hanoi, Danang, and the islands of Phu Quoc and Con Dao.
The Victoria Mekong is operated by Victoria Mekong Cruises, a Joint Venture between Thien Minh Group (TMG) – one of Asia’s leading travel and hospitality groups and Wendy Wu Tours, the UK’s leading Asia tour specialist. Thien Minh Group and Wendy Wu have set strong commitments for communication and execution to deliver guests the best possible travel experiences enhanced by the highest standards of service. The launch of the Victoria Mekong Cruise is an important milestone for the two companies, setting sights on the start of several similar products in the future.
