The Bassac is entirely built of wood,
from the hull of an 80-foot-long rice barge.
She can accommodate up to 12 passengers
in six nicely decorated cabins, each with air-con and a private
bathroom, and features a 100 sqft restaurant that opens all around, a
large gallery, a small office room and 700 sqft of sundeck.
The Bassac can take her passengers on
cruises up to seven days without stopping, and offers a great
flexibility in programming your journey.

Owing
to its large new engine and revised hydraulics, the Bassac can pull up
to 10 knots and face the powerful Mekong, even facing strong currents.
As the Bassac has
a shallow draft, she can go through all the main waterways regardless of
the tide.
