ANOUVONG, UPPER MEKONG

SLEEPY RIVERSIDE VILLAGES

Discover sleepy riverside villages, ethnic tribes and the untouched beauty of the Laotian countryside aboard the sumptuous Anouvong, named after the last monarch of the Vientiane Kingdom.

Traversing the lesser-travelled waters of the Laotian upper Mekong, Heritage Line’s Anouvong offers a serene, boutique sailing experience. The eight staterooms and two luxurious suites, which are among the region’s most spacious, come equipped with walk-in showers and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto private or French balconies. The gorgeous interiors fuse elegant French-colonial accents with traditional Laotian handcrafted artwork.

Scattered with sun loungers, the alfresco terrace deck is a fabulous place to admire the passing riverscapes. The terrace deck also boasts an elegant, glass-enclosed cafe and lounge, whilst the spa in the stern of the ship offers a tranquil sanctuary where guests can enjoy massages and various beauty treatments. Traditional Laotian dishes are served against a backdrop of intricate gold leaf artwork in the De-Lagrée Dining Hall.

The Anouvong offers two wonderful journeys in this region. The first is a three-night cruise running from the Thai-Lao border town of Huay Xai to UNESCO-listed Luang Prabang. The second extends this journey further downstream to Vientiane. Both offer an exciting mix of adventure and on-board relaxation, including visits to remote riverside villages, jungle treks, kayaking adventures and excursions to attractions like the Pak Ou Caves. Each night you’ll moor at remote sandbank for cocktails or a wonderful BBQ.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences.

Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
