Activities and Services
Whenever you book the Bassac all for yourself, we may offer
you taylor-made activities:
Board meetings
Why not get your whole board of directors and their spouses
on board the Bassac, so your board meeting to be unforgettable?
A meeting in the large common room, or even in the bow lounge,
can be rythmed with the milestones of an on-shore visit
or the dinner. And, how better to make decisions than after
a good night's sleep on board and a solid breakfast, the
next morning. Please contact us.
Kayaking on the Mekong
With just a little preparation, we can bring along some
kayaks to make of your trip a sporting event. Fancy a paddle
stroke in the currents of the Mekong Delta? Please contact
us 
Trekking and cycling
The Bassac can as well bring you to the little explored
areas for a long trek or for some cycling.
In each cabin, a small flip folder provides useful indications
about life on board: utilities, services, security, everything
the passengers should know to wholly enjoy their journey.
Your cabin
Welcome to your cabin.
On the main deck, with its direct access
to the bridge and Sur le pont principal, your cabin was built
according to the best vietnamese traditions of shipbuilding
practice, but also with a view to your comfort. All the decoration
was made by Vietnamese craftsmen.
The partitions are all heat-insulated to
maintain a cool temperature in your cabin, and also soundproofed
against the noises on the river, which remains active by night,
and fireproofed.
An independent air-con is available in your
cabin. We advise you to set it for 27ºC, with a low fan,
and to keep your door and window closed to make your sleep
most restful.
After storing your luggage and hanging your
clothes, you may be tempted by a shower or a nap before the
meal. Your en-suite bathroom features all amenities and hot
water all day round.
The Restaurant, the Galley, the Bar
The Restaurant, through which you accessed on board, is a
large living room that may be completely opened to outside
and overlooks the stern. 
Should the weather tend to monsoon, the adjustable
louvres will bring you just the protection you need, and give
a whole-wood venue to your meals.
Is the weather shiny, we open the doors and
pull the tables towards the handrail, and there you are a
little apart from the crowd if you wish to be by yourselves.
All cooking is done on board by the Chef
with carefully selected fresh produce, for a menu fit for
the season, yet also respecting the culinary preferences you
could have expressed.
you will find here the typical menus.
Lunch is a vietnamese meal for you to discover
or recall the delicate tastes of the best local cuisine.
Dinner is a vietnamese meal too, more oriented towards Mekong
Delta specialties.
Breakfast is a solid Western breakfast, with everything you
need to give the day a good start, with jams, maple syrup
and pancakes, good coffee, and quite often bread baked on
board during the night.
All meals are served with a soft drink of your choice.
Between meals, you may take a break in the
living corner, by a drink, or getting a bite off delicious
specialties or juicy fruit from the Delta.
At night, before going to sleep, once the
tables have been set aside, the little bar is more animated,
and with all doors open, the Bassac brings her passengers
through the night on the meanders of the Mekong. Sitting on
the side or in the living room, a cocktail in the hand, enjoy
this unique instant: when waking up tomorrow morning, on this
same deck, you will be right in the middle of a floating market,
a quiet creek, another unforgettable scenery.
The bow lounge
Should the weather be really raining, or insomnia striking,
or would you rather not join the passengers for a visit? The
little bow lounge is meant for you. 
With a small library for the readers, welcoming
benches, the small lounge is the place for solitary readers,
but also card players, or even just diners.
Set in the front of the hull of the Bassac,
the lounge features two brass portholes overviewing the river
that can bring fresh wind.
The services of the bar are available in
the lounge. What is more refreshing than a cocktail and an
aperitive in the lounge befoer dinner?
The Upper Deck
With an 80m² (700sqft) upper deck, the Bassac features
an extensive rest area.
You may sunbathe in the front of the upper
deck, lying on a sunbathing couch, or enjoy a drink on the
back, near the small bar, in the fresh air of the evening,
or should the sun burn too hot under the awning that shades
part of the deck.
