New ship & Luke Nguyen on the Mekong for APT 2021/22

APT Ambassador Luke Nguyen has added his ‘Indochine by Luke Nguyen” restaurant to APT’s new ship, Mekong Serenity and, in November 2021, the acclaimed chef will also be hosting an APT tour on the Mekong River.

The new Mekong Serenity, boasting some of the largest entry-level suites among vessels cruising the Mekong River, makes her debut as part of APT’s just-launched 2021/22 Vietnam and Cambodia holidays.

Featuring just 44 suites for a maximum of 88 guests, all suite categories include a private balcony.

Public areas and facilities include the air-conditioned Harmony Lounge and Bar; the Wellness spa, salon and fitness centre; an expansive sun deck; a spacious swimming pool; gift shop; complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the entire ship; complimentary laundry service of two garments per day; and nightly entertainment such as Apsara dance performances.

Nguyen’s restaurant will delight guests with a taste of Vietnam, on an intimate culinary journey across a five-course menu, inside a private dining room of 16 people.

“It is exciting to be part of the development of Indochine aboard the beautiful Mekong Serenity. I’m very proud that my authentic yet modern Vietnamese cuisine is so well received by diners and it gives me so much pleasure shaping the menu for this special cruise in my homeland,” said Nguyen.

The chef will also return in 2021 to join guests on one special departure where they will get a taste for Luke’s unique style. This is the perfect chance to meet Luke in person and learn from this experienced and talented chef. This special 14-day Luke Nguyen’s Vietnam and Mekong River Cruise departs on 26 November 2021 and is priced from $8,095 per person, twin share.

Bookings for all Vietnam and Cambodia 2021/22 itineraries made prior to 28 February 2021, on trips of 13 days or more, will save $2,400 per couple.

At these uncertain times, APT is also including its Flexible International Booking Cover on all bookings made until 31 December 2020:
