Jayavarman Luxury Mekong Cruise by Heritage Line

Named after the great 12th-century king of Angkor, the Jayavarman by Heritage Line offers one of the most refined and memorable ways to experience the Mekong. Blending timeless Khmer artistry, French colonial elegance, and subtle Art Deco style, this boutique river ship delivers a level of sophistication rarely found on inland waterways.

Gracefully sailing between Vietnam and Cambodia, the Jayavarman invites guests to slow down and enjoy the changing scenery of one of Asia’s most captivating rivers. From peaceful villages and emerald rice fields to vibrant river towns and historic cities, every day reveals a new side of the Mekong in comfort and style.

Life on board is elegant yet relaxed. Spacious sun decks, intimate lounges, and beautifully designed public spaces create a warm and luxurious atmosphere. Guests can unwind at the Apsara Spa, enjoy cocktails at the stylish Club 1930 Bar, or soak in the Jacuzzi while watching sunset over the river.

Suites & Staterooms

With just 27 spacious staterooms and suites, the Jayavarman offers an intimate, highly personalized experience. Each accommodation features a private balcony, fine furnishings, air conditioning, and a well-appointed en suite bathroom. River views and thoughtful details create a serene retreat after each day of exploration.

Dining on the Mekong

Dining is a highlight of the journey, with expertly prepared cuisine inspired by the flavors of Vietnam, Cambodia, and the wider region. Served in the elegant Indochina Dining Hall, meals are complemented by attentive service and a sophisticated setting.

Enriching Shore Experiences

Carefully curated excursions allow guests to connect with the Mekong beyond the ship. Visit riverside villages, colorful markets, Buddhist temples, and artisan workshops, or explore by bicycle, cyclo, or traditional xe loi for a more personal look at local life.

My husband and I, along with five friends, thoroughly enjoyed our Heritage Line The Jahan Mekong River Cruise from Siem Reap to Saigon. The food was out of this world. I have celiac disease and Heritage Line knows how to take extra care with food preparation to keep people safe. Our outstanding travel agent set everything up for us, answered all of our questions and checked on us frequently. I highly recommend Heritage Line The Jahan and I highly recommend booking this unforgettable journey through a trusted travel advisor.

The entire crew was personable. Special shout outs to the Aqua Mekong cruise director and housekeeping manager. Rooms were clean. Food options were always delicious plus there was no way to ever be hungry! One of our group had dietary restrictions and there were always choices that worked. Evening entertainment was great and every night was something different. We did the Mekong River cruise so the daily excursions included time in local villages, markets, and cultural sites. We all had fun and appreciated the small ship experience.

We went on a 7 day Mekong River cruise on the La Marguerite ship. Our twin room on the lower level was very nice, and the bed was extremely comfortable. Housekeeping twice a day with turndown service was fantastic. Dining was spectacular with buffet and menu choices, and the special dinner was magnificent. Each day the menus reflected local Mekong flavors. Service was extraordinarily good. Every evening a complimentary happy hour was offered, and the staff were always attentive. My traveling companion was gluten free and had many wonderful options at each meal. Excursions were very good, with gentle or more active tour choices and excellent local guides. This was one of the best cruise experiences I’ve ever had!

The Jayavarman cruise was simply outstanding. Our tour director was on point at every turn, with clear instructions and follow-through every step of the way. The food was delicious, the wine and drinks were abundant, and the living quarters were attractive and clean. The day excursions were divided into more difficult, regular, and easy so everyone got to select their pace. This was our first true river cruise and we enjoyed every single moment of it.

Lovely cruise down the Mekong on Pandaw. Crew were very friendly, food was great, loved all the drinks and atmosphere on board. Loads of guided tours available and we visited some lovely places along the river. Very smooth journey with only slight changes due to river conditions, all handled perfectly by the crew whilst we were whisked off on an excursion. Great evening entertainment and our boat had a wonderful traditional charm throughout. Would definitely recommend.
