The Jahan
Named for the emperor who built the Taj Mahal. She lives up to it.
Luxury sailing in Cambodia & Vietnam
A magnificent presence on the Mekong river, The Jahan showcases authentic maritime architecture and exquisite interiors. Operated by Heritage Line, this vessel features 26 suites offering spectacular panoramas of the river.
As authorized luxury cruise specialists, we provide direct access to verified cabin allocations with our Best Price Guarantee, dedicated pre-trip concierge, and seamless door-to-ship private transfers.
On board a floating paradise
Designed with exclusivity in mind, every moment on board The Jahan is one to be remembered.
Shah Jahan built monuments to love. This ship borrows his aesthetic without his melancholy. The woodwork is intricate — hand-carved panels that catch the light differently at every hour. The colors are bold: saffron, turquoise, deep crimson. The observatory on the top deck has the best view on the river. Enjoy social spaces typical to larger cruise ships such as a lounge, dining room, and an expansive sundeck, all while keeping the peace and personalized service of a small luxury river vessel.

Flavors of the Mekong
The dining hall has crystal chandeliers that throw tiny rainbows across white tablecloths at sunset. The menu is unapologetically fusion: Cambodian curry alongside lamb kebabs, Vietnamese pho next to naan bread. Guests can expect seasonal menus showcasing the full repertoire of flavors from Vietnam and Cambodia in refined style. Our chefs use peak season produce and the freshest ingredients from the Mekong river and the region. Some of their signature creations include authentic curries and fresh seafood, most of which are served in a communal dining style authentic to the region's traditions.
