Regarded as the father figure in Heritage Line’s ‘family’ of boutique cruise ships, the Javayarman is named in honour of Angkor’s most venerated king, who, during his reign of the ancient Khmer kingdom, oversaw the construction of some of Angkor’s most celebrated temples. Plying the Lower Mekong River between Vietnam’s lush Mekong Delta and historic Siem Reap and Phnom Penh in Cambodia, Javayarman seamlessly marries the charm of French colonial Art Deco and the nostalgic romance of Indochina with ancient Khmer culture. With its artefacts, Khmer bas-reliefs and Vietnamese lacquer paintings adorned over the passenger decks, this impressive vessel resembles a floating art gallery.
All the elegantly decorated staterooms and signature suites evoke memories of a glorious heritage and provide ample-sized private balconies. Guests can also enjoy superior facilities that extend to a spa, an evocative Club 1930 Funnel Bar & Lounge, French brasserie-style dining hall and elevated sun deck and Jacuzzi pool with 360-degree views of the Mekong, one of Southeast Asia’s most compelling rivers. The Javayarman is also renowned for its exceptional hospitality levels and various kaleidoscope of on-and off-shore experiences.
