Boheme Cruise 4 Days 3 Nights: Luang Prabang - Xayaboury - Luang Prabang

Morning

8:30: Begin your journey in the serene town of Luang Prabang. After meeting the Mekong Kingdom's representative, board the Boheme Cruise, your elegant floating sanctuary.

Before setting off, take part in a traditional Baci ceremony to bless your voyage with harmony and good fortune. As the Boheme drifts away from the banks, a leisurely lunch awaits in the Dining Salon. Here, local ingredients and refined flavors come together as the scenery passes by.

Afternoon & Evening

Later, the cruise anchors near Ban Xang Hai, a small village known for its traditional rice whisky. Disembark for a tender ride to the legendary Pak Ou Caves, sacred grottoes that have sheltered thousands of Buddha images for centuries. The cool air within is thick with reverence; candlelight flickers across stone walls, illuminating countless statues in quiet devotion.

Magnificent sight inside Pak Ou Caves

Returning to the main ship, continue downstream toward Ban Chan. The late afternoon light glows golden on the water, and the landscape softens into silhouettes as dusk approaches. On deck, enjoy a cocktail at sunset, the perfect moment to breathe in the stillness of the river.

As night falls, dine at leisure in the restaurant, where elegant dishes and gentle conversation accompany the lull of the water. The cruise moors quietly for the night near Ban Xang Hai, wrapped in the calm of the Mekong.

Morning

Morning light glimmers across the river, casting silver ripples that dance beneath the soft mist rising from the jungle. Let's enjoy a cup of hot coffee or tea and a delectable spread of bread on the breakfast buffet.

Arriving at Ban Chan Neua, the Pottery Village, time seems to move gently. You can see a compact cluster of workshops where kiln-fired pots and earthenware line the yards. Enjoy a short, hands-on pottery session: feel the wheel’s gentle resistance, shape clay with guidance from local artisans, and take home a small piece you made.

Afterward, we return to the Boheme Cruise for a tasty lunch on board.

Afternoon & Evening

You will have the chance to join an interactive Lao cooking class to learn a few simple regional dishes and techniques, followed by a cocktail masterclass where you’ll try your hand at mixing a signature drink inspired by local flavours.

As evening approaches, relax with a cocktail hour on deck, then dine at leisure in the Dining Salon. Overnight mooring will be in the vicinity of Xayaboury Dam, with the gentle sounds of the river as your backdrop.

Your first excursion takes you to the breathtaking Kuang Si Waterfalls, a natural wonder cascading through tiers of turquoise pools surrounded by lush tropical forest.
