A guest book collects acknowledgedly biased feelings —and abstracts from a guest book all the more so— but we have received such a strong support from all our passengers —and famous ones, too!— that we really wanted to brag a little.
So, here are comments posted by some of our passengers. All were heartfully supportive, and we randomly picked a few. Unfortunately, we would not be comfortable wrongfully transcribing many entries written in Spanish, German, Italian, even in Vanuatu's language.
Mr & Mrs Bibiloni, from Spain and Norway, our first overnight guests ever, on December 22, 2003.

Late December 2003, a river vessel burned down and sunk in Can Tho, leaving contracted passengers without a boat. Their family came with us on board the Bassac.
January 2, 2004 What a magical way to start the new year. Extraordinary service, meals and warmth on a beautiful boat. We will be back to the Bassac and the Mekong soon!! Anita, Prabha, Pria & Meera Sinha |

We apologize in advance if we wrongfully transcribed your words, Jacky, our guess is, few people will object.

Our own translation may prove a risky one, even though the language lends itself so funnily to interpretation.
I want to say thank you too much to all the team of the Bassac. I and my small ones all liked. I'll come back again next time. |
||
Thank you for a magnificent trip. The perfect relaxation, with good guides and chef! Pamela & Alfredo Matacoffa Costella |

As word of mouth kicks in, we begin to have passengers who especially asked to come on our board.
14 June 2004 Thank you for a magical introduction to the river life of the Mekong. We enjoyed meeting you and wish you every success in your venture. Stanley, Kay, and Danny |
