See also the Bassac I, the original Bassac ship, and our last addition to the flottilla, the Bassac III.The Bassac II is entirely built of wood in a hull of gỗ sao, the now rare essence of wood used traditionally used for building quality ships.

She can accommodate up to 24 passengers in twelve nicely decorated cabins, each with air-con and a private bathroom, and features a 500 sqft restaurant that opens all around, a large galley, a small office room and 1500 sqft of upper deck, mostly covered.

The Bassac II can take her passengers on cruises up to seven days without stopping, and offers a great flexibility in programming your journey. She also is so powerful and has such a shallow draft as to be able to cruise upstream the Mekong or bring you to your destination regardless of the season, the tide or the current.
