The 2025-built RV Viking Tonle ship cruises on Mekong River (in Vietnam and Cambodia) departing from homeports Saigon Vietnam and Kampong Cham Cambodia (bus travel to Siem Reap, flight to Hanoi).
Viking Tonle is a modern-designed and handcrafted vessel designed to safely navigate the Lower Mekong River.
Viking Tonle's fleetmates deployed in the Cambodia-Vietnam region are the sistership Viking Saigon (2021-built) and the 2002-built Viking Mekong (brand name for the chartered from Pandaw Cruises riverboat "Mekong Pandaw").
The Viking ship's namesake is RV Tonle Pandaw (2002-built).
The word "tonle" translates from Khmer as 'fresh water".
The newbuild riverboat Viking Tonle has max passenger capacity 80 (plus 35 staff-crew). It offers magnificent riverside views from every stateroom due to the large windows and plenty of open-deck space. The atmosphere onboard is extraordinarily friendly, with exceptional service provided by a professionally trained English-speaking crew.
The vessel's builder was Hai Minh Shipyard (Saigon Shipyards Co Ltd) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
