Heritage Line Anouvong

Upper Mekong River, Laos
“ Unsurpassed extravagance cruising Lao’s remote Laotian Upper Mekong River”

Dedicated to the Vientiane Kingdom’s last monarch, the Anouvong from Heritage Line’s renowned boutique ship collection, is the first-ever small luxury ship to cruise the meandering upper Mekong River in Laos – a rarely travelled stretch of one of the planet’s most spectacular waterways.

Step aboard Anouvong for an unforgettable voyage of pure serendipity in unsurpassed extravagance, between the Lao capital Vientiane, Luang Prabang and the Thai-Laos border. Leisurely cruise past the river’s captivating backdrop of verdant riverscapes, visit remote local villages with their tribes and customs and enjoy overnights in remote locales with a feeling of pure tranquility.

Anouvong’s unique blend of traditional Laotian artwork with French-colonial accents evokes the grand old days of explorers. Lending an air exclusivity, there are just eight deluxe staterooms and two exquisite signature suites on board, all featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a French balcony or private terrace. Suites further indulge with a large bathroom inclusive of a Jacuzzi. Cosy yet refined public spaces feature an elegant dining hall and a glass-encased bar-lounge opening out to a spacious terrace deck. On-board activities cover cultural lectures and blissful therapies at the sanctuary-like spa, while off-board forays extend to sandbank gourmet barbecues or cocktail events.
