This summer, travellers seeking intimacy, adventure, and effortless luxury can now charter their own journey along the storied Mekong River with Bohème by Mekong Kingdoms. The new private charter experience invites families and friends to take over the entire 50-metre river cruiser for an immersive three-night escape from Luang Prabang to Xayaboury and back, blending nature, culture, and indulgence.
Available from June to September 2025, Bohème’s Private Charter package transforms river travel into a tailored, multigenerational experience. With 13 suites and space for up to 26 guests, Bohème is styled like a floating grand residence—elegant yet relaxed, intimate yet spacious. The ship is designed for milestone moments, family reunions, or simply for those seeking a more personalised, all-inclusive getaway on one of Asia’s most fascinating rivers.
The experience is anchored by impeccable service, with a dedicated crew of 20 including a cruise manager, private chef, spa therapist, and tour guide ensuring every detail is tailored. The flagship Royal Suite offers 60 square metres of luxury, including a private balcony and freestanding bath—ideal for soaking in panoramic views of jungle-covered hills, quiet riverbanks, and sacred sites along the Mekong.
Each day unfolds with meaningful cultural immersion. Guests will journey to Pak Ou Caves, where thousands of Buddha statues rest in candlelit chambers, and visit traditional villages like Ban Xang Khong to learn the art of Saa paper-making. At Ban Chan Neua, pottery techniques are taught by local artisans. These hands-on moments offer a deeper connection to the land and its people, far from the crowds of conventional travel.
Nature lovers can enjoy a dip in the ethereal Kuang Si Waterfalls, while animal enthusiasts can interact with gentle residents at the Laos Buffalo Dairy Farm. Onboard, the days offer gentle luxury with riverbank yoga, birdwatching at dawn, spa treatments, and cocktail-making classes. As the sun sets, long-table dinners under the stars offer the perfect setting for celebration and connection.
Bohème’s all-inclusive offering includes gourmet cuisine paired with international wines, complimentary airport transfers, and optional stays at Avani+ Luang Prabang. The flexible layout and open-plan design cater perfectly to children and multigenerational families, with child-friendly menus and activities to keep younger guests engaged.
Rates begin at USD 33,600 for a three-night journey, based on a minimum of eight cabins. For those looking for a deeper exploration, a five-night itinerary is available between Luang Prabang and Vientiane during the high season (October to March), starting at USD 68,000. This extended voyage offers an even broader tapestry of landscapes, traditions, and hidden treasures.
More than a cruise, Bohème’s private charter offers a rare way to experience Laos—with all the comfort of a luxury hotel and the soul of a river expedition. It’s the ideal way to rediscover travel on your own terms, with time to slow down, savour, and connect with the world around you.
