The Laotian Mekong has welcomed ‘Anouvong’ home. After months of transformation, our ship is once again sailing the Upper Mekong, carrying a refreshed look and a new chapter in her story. This time, we invite you aboard through a more intimate lens, with the first real glimpses of Heritage Line ‘Anouvong’ as she returns to the waters of Laos.
First Voyage of the Season
There is a new silhouette to look for on the Mekong. In pure white and deep maroon, ‘Anouvong’ now glides across the river, her colours reflecting the timeless palette of Luang Prabang’s vats. Against the earthy waters of the Mekong, the contrast is striking, giving the ship a renewed presence as she begins her next chapter on the river.
Where the Journey Slows Down
By late afternoon, the terrace begins to draw guests in. A glass of wine from the newly showcased collection, the soft glow of the bar and the Mekong stretching quietly beyond the deck create the kind of setting where no one is in a hurry to leave. The refreshed bar was made for these moments: an aperitif before dinner, an easy conversation with fellow travellers, or simply watching the river pass by.
A little further inside, the pace softens at Bodhi Spa. Step through its doors and the spirit of Laos follows you in. Lao-inspired motifs, textures and small decorative details now unfold across the space, creating a setting that feels rooted in the destination. After a day along the Mekong, guests can retreat here for a moment of quiet, letting the journey continue through another sense of place.
A Fresh Chapter in Her Story
And so, ‘Anouvong’ has made her return to the river. Her first sailing after the transformation has come to an end, but this is only the beginning of her new story. From the moment you step aboard to the changing landscapes beyond the deck, discover how new details and a renewed sense of place shape the journey along the Laotian Mekong.
Come aboard and discover her renewed spirit on a 3-, 7-, or 9-night journey along the Upper Mekong with Heritage Line ’Anouvong’
