About Le Cochinchine

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le
Cochinchine is a modern and tastefully
designed river barge. Built in traditional
style Le Cochinchine measures around 30 meters
long from bow to stern and has two 420 HP
engines , one in back up, making Le Cochinchine
a very powerful and safe river vessel.
Le Cochinchine offers an elegant, relaxing and
fulfilling ways to explore endless water way
of Mekong River. The cruise brings us into
contact with people in different corner of the
Delta . With Le Cochinchine, you will have ample
opportunity to see Vietnam in its
authenticity and sample local culture and
food, in a one unpacking, unforgettable
vacation where your "floating hotel" get you
insight into Mekong Delta and quaint villages.
Aboard Le Cochinchine you will enjoy the
continuous and ever-changing scenery

single bed/each) with a.c and private bathroom

Cabin
Each cabin
has its own air-conditioning unit, which can be
adjusted for your comfort. We recommend you do
not over- cool your cabin as the sudden change
from the outside temperature to a chilled cabin
can bring on colds, respiratory illnesses and
even stomach upsets. When you go out, we
recommend you turn the setting to 'Lo Cool', set
at about 4, and then when you return you can
readjust the temperature to your preference
without having to wait for cool air. At night
you may prefer to use the fan only, and have the
windows open. Insect netting covers the windows
to enable you to do this. Please do not leave
your air-conditioner on with the window open -
this results in energy loss (the equivalent of
switching on the heating and opening the windows
in a cold country!
