The Bassac II
in particular and the Bassac family in general is
entirely built of wood in a hull of gỗ sao, the now
rare essence of wood used traditionally used for
building quality ships. She can accommodate up to 24
passengers in twelve nicely decorated cabins, each
with air-con and a private bathroom, and features a
500 sqft restaurant that opens all around, a large
galley, a small office room and 1500 sqft of upper
deck, mostly covered.
The Bassac II can
take her passengers on cruises up to seven days
without stopping, and offers a great flexibility in
programming your journey. She also is so powerful
and has such a shallow draft as to be able to cruise
upstream the Mekong or bring you to your destination
regardless of the season, the tide or the current
