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.

“SERVICE THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE”

The service we received from 91ºÚÁÏÍø was second to none. Tania took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and helped us explore every option clearly and thoroughly. Her first-hand knowledge of Kenya and safaris made a real difference – she explained everything brilliantly. The thoughtful extras, like the travel wallet and documents, were such a lovely touch – especially for someone who loves to travel well-organised! Thank you so much. We’ll definitely be back for future adventures.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”
From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91ºÚÁÏÍø stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
