Cruising wrapped up in Style – our new Mekong and Ha long Bay Packages!

For the very first time, Heritage Line has crafted some wonderful and uniquely crafted luxury cruise & travel packages in the different destinations we are operating. The result is exclusive in all facets offering amazing river and land experience combined with the best of the best hotel accommodation. The cutting edge is the extra pinch of complimentary benefits to candy-coat a guest’s journey to the fullest.

To kick-off with our new cruise & travel package, we are launching this August 2024 two (almost) all-inclusive packages – one in Laos and Thailand traversing the famed Golden Triangle and another special package in Northern Vietnam including with Hanoi and Halong Bay the two most icon travel sites in the region.

Northern Thailand, Laotian Mekong, Luang Prabang [7 Nights]

Embark on an exceptional journey through the captivating Golden Triangle in Northern Thailand, where Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar converge. Whether one seeks to explore rich cultural heritage or indulge in breathtaking landscapes, Heritage Line offers a seamless blend of both in one remarkable journey paired with pampering benefits to the fullest.

This new all-inclusive lux-package ‘Escapism’ spans 8-day/7-night carries you away, featuring three prestigious accommodations in Northern Thailand’s far-flung corner, on the upper Mekong and in Luang Prabang. Guests can start this adventure either in Luang Prabang, meandering up the Mekong River to the Golden Triangle in Thailand and finish in Chiang Rai. No matter, if you travel the other way around – both directions include exactly the same experience that will hopefully change mind and soul forever.

The hotels aligned with the cruise operated by the charming small boutique vessel Heritage Line ‘Anouvong’ are mouth-watering. The Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle is a once-in-a-lifetime experience per se and the Rosewood Luang Prabang will extend all the charms Luang Prabang has to offer. This travel package is an all-inclusive travel solution that is only topped by an assortment of complimentary luxury benefits that are inclusive as well.

Secure one of the “extravagant seats” for this journey in 2025. Prices start at 7,550 USD per person sharing. 

Northern Vietnam & Halong Bay [4 Nights]

A shorter package under the name “Northern Delights” with a length of 5 Days/4 Nights is an ideal duration but also kind of a must-do when visiting the North of Vietnam. This package is great for getting some insight into Hanoi’s captivating charm as well as discovering Halong Bay to the fullest with two different circuit options. In Hanoi. Our guests reside at the extraordinary Capella Hotel which is the perfect basis to stroll around and discover the nearby attractions. Optional half-day tours allow to theme the stay with either culinary, cultural, or cycling tours as per own gusto (supplement applies). The hotel offers heaps of benefits and special moments to take the outdoor charms to the indoors.

When heading to Halong Bay, the guests have two options to tailor this package a further. During a two-night sailing along the Halong Bay circuit aboard the exquisite small Heritage Line ‘Violet’ introduces this UNESCO Heritage Site with its great classic sites and sounds. Opting for the 2-Night Lan Ha Bay circuit with Heritage Line ‘Ylang’ instead does include a fantastic lifestyle and active exploration of the bay and its amazing island of Cat Ba. 

Prices start from 1,600 USD per person sharing.

Cambodia à la Mode & Mekong River “theme up” [7 or 9 Nights]

Explore Cambodia with these uniquely themed travel packages allowing you to add flavour to your pure Cambodian cruise and travel adventure. Four packages combine cruising through the rather unknown heart- and hinterland of Cambodia with a specific theme and accent of beach, arts & crafts, cycling, and some “epoch” traveling

Cruise & Beach I 7 Nights

This all-inclusive package is all about a relaxed and slow journey in Cambodia. Time matters and so does your daily dose of pampering with a sundowner cocktail. After a 5-day luxury cruise with Heritage Line, you will reach cruise mode status (aka super relax mode) to continue the luxury beach resort of your choice.

We offer two very unique ocean and beach resorts to choose from within the package: Go with Song Saa Private Island if you like to indulge in pure private bliss. Or stay at The Royal Sands Koh Rong if you are a white sand beach lover. Either option – you cannot escape the pampering we offer with our unique packages.

Price start from 3,490 USD per person.

Cruise & Cycle I 7 Nights

“Hey, old sport! This package is the perfect pick for you!” With our cruise & cycle combo, we offer a wonderful active way to fall head over heels with local Cambodia.

Discover the outskirts of Siem Reap by bicycle, visiting local markets, temples, and experiencing local life. The exploration becomes even more remote when paddling along scenic paths or backroads along the Mekong or Tonle River region. This cruise and cycling venture let you leave with unfathomable memories of rural Cambodia in your backpack.

In Siem Reap, guests stay at Jaya House River Park, famous for its sustainable initiatives and practices. The cruise portion is served by our wonderful lux-cruiser Heritage Line ‘The Jahan’ taking our guests in pampering comfort from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.

Price starts from 2,650 USD per person.

Cruise & Arts I 9 Nights

This package is for art and culture enthusiasts. Heritage Line has partnered with the amazing hotels and resorts of Shinta Mani (Shinta Mani Angkor and Shinta Mani Wild) designed by the extraordinary Bill Bensley. Together with Heritage Line’s most romantic and Indian-British heritage theme cruise ‘The Jahan’, all accommodations deliver incomparable stay experiences surrounded by art and exclusive décor.

The artistic experience at the hotels continues with aligned experiences on the excursion. In Siem Reap, in particular, guests’ activities include visiting local artisans for hands-on ceramic workshops and exploring Cambodian lacquerware, as well as modern graphic design.

Price starts from 4,300 USD per person.

Cambodia À l’époque I 7 Nights

With this package, guests have the chance to step back in time while enjoying the comforts of prestigious accommodations. In Siem Reap, guests stay at the wonderful Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, where they can step into the pages of history in the charm and old-world elegance of Cambodia’s rich history.

Next, embark on Heritage Line ‘The Jahan’, which features an Indian-Khmer history theme. Cruising along the Mekong River allows guests to explore rural Cambodia through visits to traditional villages and ancient temples.

Complete the stay in Phnom Penh at another historic landmark, the Raffles Hotel le Royal, where Charlie Chaplin once basked in the ambiance of old-time elegance.
