Cruise along one of the
world's mightiest rivers - the
Rest on the upper deck of the
"Bassac" luxury junk boat - a ‘floating hotel’ - and enjoy a
landscape of rice fields, sugar cane, forest and local life. The Bassac is
entirely built of wood, from the hull of an 80-foot-long rice barge. The 12
ensuite air-conditioned comfortable cabins are set in the front of the Bassac
and well insulated so as to provide the passengers with a good night's sleep
even if under way. They are entirely fitted with wood, and equipped as rooms in
a good hotel. Owing to a large heat exchanger on the main engine, the Bassac
produces enough hot water for many showers a day. There is also a living area
and large sundeck for those sundowners!
