Bohème by Mekong Kingdoms Introduces Exclusive Private Sailings

Private Mekong Cruises Now Available

This summer, Mekong Kingdoms is inviting travellers to experience the majestic Mekong River most exclusively with the launch of private charters aboard Bohème, a 50-meter river cruiser. Available from June to September, this new offering allows families and groups to reserve the entire vessel for a three-night journey from the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang to Xayaboury and back.

Bohème’s Private Charter package is designed for multigenerational gatherings, milestone trips, and memorable reunions with friends. It offers total privacy, personalized service, and immersive cultural exploration in effortless comfort. With 13 suites that accommodate up to 26 guests, Bohème provides the charm of a grand floating residence, complete with butler service, cultural excursions, onboard spa treatments, and world-class dining.

The lead guest can relax in the spacious 60-square-meter Royal Suite, which features a luxurious freestanding bath and a private balcony. This is the perfect spot to enjoy the picturesque views of jungle-clad hills, tranquil villages, and sacred riverbanks as they drift by.

Guests will embark on a journey to the sacred Pak Ou Caves, where thousands of devotional images rest within the limestone grottoes. They can immerse themselves in local craftsmanship by creating traditional handmade Saa paper from mulberry bark and flowers in Ban Xang Khong, and they can also try their hand at Laotian pottery techniques in the artisan village of Ban Chan Neua. Nature lovers will appreciate a refreshing dip beneath the turquoise cascades of the Kuang Si Waterfalls. At the same time, animal enthusiasts can meet friendly animals and support local initiatives at the Laos Buffalo Dairy Farm.

Each day flows relaxedly on board, featuring early morning birdwatching, yoga by the riverbank, spa therapies, cocktail classes, and luxurious long-table dinners under the stars. Every moment is customized to suit the group’s preferences, with a dedicated crew of 20—including a cruise manager, head chef, spa therapist, and tour guide—ensuring a seamless and deeply personalized experience.

Rates start at USD 33,600 for a three-night stay, with a minimum booking of eight cabins on a full charter basis. Reservations are now open for travel between June and September 2025.

For those interested in a longer and more immersive experience, a Private Charter package is available during the high season from October to March. This five-night itinerary sails between Luang Prabang and the capital city of Vientiane, with rates starting at USD 68,000, based on a minimum booking of ten cabins.
