Heritage Line Jahan

Saigon – My Tho – Cai Be – Tan Chau – Border Crossing – Phnom Penh – Tonle Lake – Siem Reap

The Heritage Line Jahan Cruise is the luxury Mekong cruise of Heritage Line’s most romantic cruise liner. Considered the brother of The Jayavarman in Heritage Line’s “family” of cruise ships, this magnificent Mekong cruise was named after the Indian emperor Shah Jahan, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1628 to 1658. A great patron of architecture and the arts, Shah Jahan oversaw the construction of many legendary sites, including India’s dazzling Red Fort and the famed 777 gardens of Kashmir. This cultured monarch is a fitting namesake for The Jahan, which evokes the opulent vessels of British India. No expense has been spared in the interior or exterior decorations, which showcase the talents of local woodworkers, weavers, and artists.

Heritage Line Jahan Cruise offers you a variety of activities to indulge in. You can choose to relax in your luxurious cabins, meet friends in the atmospheric East India Club, soak in the Jacuzzi on the Pool Deck, challenge a new friend to a game of chess in the Observatory Lounge, or enjoy a pampering massage in the Apsara Spa. With three decks, this vessel offers all the amenities of a fine resort, including a fitness center, steam rooms, a range of dining venues, and an excellent spa. Stretching 70 meters/230 feet from bow to stern, The Jahan features 26 beautifully designed cabins on two decks, each with its own private balcony.

Discovering the bygone elegance of travel aboard the majestic Jahan is an absolutely unforgettable experience. Just as Indian art and architecture influenced the Khmer and Cham cultures in the Mekong Delta, the stunning artistry of The Heritage Line Jahan Cruise will inspire you, as will the delta’s vibrant beauty.
