Sunlit indoors and out, the top level Observation Deck aboard the Aqua Mekong has been designed to seamlessly connect guests with the constantly shifting landscape of floating Vietnamese villages, French colonial church spires and gilded Buddhist stupas along this mighty river, always in the utmost comfort. Whether one chooses to relax on a modern planters chair in the air conditioned Indoor Lounge, go horizontal under the equatorial sun outside at the ship’s back end Outdoor Lounge area or cool off with a plunge in the shimmering pool at the bow side, the Observation Deck ensures that the river always remains in full view.

Many guests come aboard imagining their time will be spent between off shore excursions and the privacy of their spacious suite. In fact, most find their way several times a day to the social life of the Aqua Mekong’s top floor Observation Deck, to the fully stocked bar in the Indoor Lounge, the well edited selection of Indochine classics in the library and films in the private screening room.  After dark, the action is up above, when Southeast Asia’s night sky fills with constellations and shooting stars.
