ULTRA-LUXURIOUS RIVER CRUISER

Uncover the secrets of the Upper Mekong aboard the Gypsy, an ultra-luxurious river cruiser offering unhurried two- and-three-night sails between Laung Prabang and northern Thailand.

Chartered on an exclusive basis with room for just four passengers, a voyage aboard the Gypsy is a chance to explore Southeast Asia’s most magnificent waterway in true intimacy. Beautifully crafted out of local timber with complementary thatched roofs, the vessel blends seamlessly into the surrounding landscapes. Interiors are a blend of 21st century amenities and traditional design, with plenty of bamboo day beds, carved wooden furniture and Thai silks.

Located at opposite ends of the vessel, the two air-conditioned suites promise ultimate comfort with their plush beds and full bathrooms, whilst the floor-to-ceiling windows can be thrown open to let in the fresh mountain air. A lounge, bar and dining room form the shared spaces, whilst the open sundeck is the perfect place to admire the changing scenery.

Activities are completely tailored to guests’ interests. As you drift up the river, you’ll be able to pause at sleepy riverside villages, trek through the jungle to the wondrous Pak Ou Caves and mountain bike through rural Laos. Lao whisky tastings and weaving workshops can also be arranged. Back on board, imaginative Laotian and French dishes are prepared by the on-board chef from locally-sourced produce. You can even learn the skills yourself with a cooking class.

“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.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by 91ºÚÁÏÍø – 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.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”
Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
