Article source: Salt & Water This new cruiser for European tourists is designed to show the beauty of the Mekong River and the country through which it flows. For this reason, we designed the interior of this 56m long and four-deck ship in a modern style, based on the heritage of the Far East architecture. The selected textures, materials and geometry are characteristic for this area. The entire interior is designed as a frame for nature through which it is cruising – to complement it, instead of drawing attention from the natural beauty of the landscape.

The upper deck is open and offers various facilities to guests: swimming pool, bar, lounge area, meeting tables and sunbathing area. All guest cabins are designed in the same style – with lots of dark wood, rattan, walls with beige texture and blue and red details. Special attention is dedicated to the functionality of the rooms, with storage for suitcases and places for charging electrical units.

Guests of the cruiser can choose if they want to sit alone or hang out with others. There is also a private sectioned off area to enjoy the chef's special menu if desired. Both spaces are designed to be easily adapted to various purposes as well as evening programs provided by the ship's crew. On the stern part of the lower deck there is also a massage centre and a gym. The interior design was done in cooperation with Vahali Shipyard, a well-known manufacturer of river cruisers.
