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
as you encounter a lively world of legendary
waterways and picturesque landscapes, floating markets,
lush bonsais garden, rice fields, villages,
pagodas and temples, fruit-filled orchards, boat laden
bazaar and a host of smiling children.
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!
