Laos

With its inaugural cruise scheduled for September 2020, Heritage Line’s newest vessel, Anouvong, named after the Vientiane Kingdom’s last monarch, and with a unique blend of traditional Laotian and French-colonial style, is their first-ever vessel to cruise the majestic Mekong River in Laos. There is a luxurious atmosphere on board from the intimate restaurant, serving Laotian and Southeast Asia cuisine, to the refined setting of the lounge, opening onto the expansive terrace deck. With only eight spacious staterooms and two luxurious suites, all featuring floor-to-ceiling windows with elegant French balconies or a private terrace, this is a true boutique cruising experience.

Whilst cruising this lesser-traveled stretch of one of the world’s most spectacular waterways, relax on the ship’s cosy terrace or in one of the inviting armchairs in the lounge, all whilst taking in the panoramic views. For an extra dose of relaxation, visit Anouvong’s spa, quietly tucked away at the back of the vessel. For those looking to be kept busy, there are plenty of activities available including lectures and presentations by local experts and historians, local dance and music performances, Tai Chi and cooking classes, an evening cinema, and even kayaking.

To celebrate the launch of the new Anouvong, save up to £200 per person if you book your trip before the 15^th October 2019.
