​NOTE: 

• From November to February, on our upstream (Luang Prabang to Houei Say) itinerary, we are sometimes unable to fit a visit to the whiskey village. We apologise for this but as it can be foggy in the mornings, and getting dark early, we need to ensure the safety of our passengers to get to the LuangSay Lodge during daylight "The cruise itineraries can be changed or reversed without prior notice." ....
• ​For safety reasons and according to weather conditions or water level of The Mekong River, substitute program to cruises either upstream or downstream will be implemented without prior notice.
