Avani Hotels & Resorts has introduced The Bohème Journey, a six-day itinerary linking Vientiane and Luang Prabang with a five-night Mekong River cruise.
The journey begins at Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane Hotel, which opened in July. The 197-room property is located on Fa Ngum Road overlooking Chao Anouvong Park and the Mekong River, about 15 minutes from Wattay International Airport.
Guests then travel to Pak Lay to board Bohème by Mekong Kingdoms for a five-night upstream sailing to Luang Prabang. The 50-metre vessel accommodates up to 26 guests in 13 cabins, ranging from 30m² Deluxe Suites with private balconies to a 60m² Royal Suite with a sundeck. Facilities include three decks, dining areas and two treatment rooms.
The cruise includes visits to Ban Kok Fark, Ban Xang Khong and Ban Chan Neua, where guests can learn about paper-making, weaving and pottery. Other stops include Elephant Sanctuary Laos and Kuang Si Waterfalls, while onboard activities include Lao cooking classes and cocktail workshops.
The journey concludes at the 53-room Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel, located opposite the Night Market in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town. The Royal Palace, Mount Phousi and morning market are within walking distance, while Luang Prabang International Airport is about 15 minutes away.
The Bohème Journey is priced from US$5,175 for two guests, including taxes and service charges. It covers five nights aboard the vessel with meals, beverages, excursions and onboard activities, plus at least one night with breakfast at either Avani+ hotel.
