Life on the Jayavarman is one luxurious experience after another.
Allow us to paint – in your mind’s eye – the picture of romance, majesty
and mystery that becomes you when you board the Jayavarman.
You step out on to your private
balcony, sipping your cocktail
made with fruits from the land that
envelops you. The sun sets gently
and the charming countryside
becomes a silhouette shining on the
river. You soon realize that you’ve
never been in a place so peaceful and
so serene, occasionally punctuated
by a child’s raucous laughter ringing
from a nearby village.
Darkness descends, signaling the
time for a traditional feast. Food
from the region is served by waiters
who, by now, have become your
friends. They are a tad shy yet, they
are proud to put on display their
traditional attire and share their
culture with you.
After a night’s sleep, the soft rays
of the sun warm your face. Thai Chi
lessons await you on the upper sun
deck, ready to connect you to the
energy that is so plentiful in this
cultured and spiritual place.
At every corner, every river
bend aboard this luxurious and
majestic ship, new sights and new
experiences are ready and waiting to
be found.

LIFE ON BOARD
Life aboard the Jahan will read much like a royal tale. As the rays of the morning
sun glide across the balcony to your well-appointed room you will be gently
rustled from your slumber. It feels like you were taken back to a time when
royals slept in whimsical abodes and awoke by the glow of the balmy sun - the
mysteries of the day are yet to unfold.
You will hear the pop of a cork and
gentle sizzling sound as delectable
Prosecco is being prepared to
accompany your morning feast.
The balcony is the ideal place for your
breakfast if you wish for privacy.
With such pleasant interruption to
the tranquil surroundings, you are
assured that the day – which has
only just begun – will be laden with
promise. The twists and turns of
the Mekong – and the therapeutic
cadence of the waves – serve as an
inspiration to you. At this stage, you
quickly come to the conclusion that
you have not experienced anything
like this before.
The High Tea, prepared to perfection
at afternoon’s, will, once again, bring
you back to the days of yore – when
men tipped their hats and ladies
intermittently covered their visages
behind paper fans.
