About Jayavarman
Jayavarman belongs to Heritage Line's Heritage Khmer series and entered service in 2009. Built to navigate the lock systems and bridge clearances of European waterways, she measures roughly 60 metres in length and accommodates up to 54 guests in 27 staterooms across 3 passenger decks.
Heritage Line operates a small fleet of theatrically themed boutique vessels — the Khmer-temple-inspired Jayavarman, the steamer-style Jahan, the Royal-Lao Anouvong and the colonial Anawrahta — across the Mekong, the upper Mekong in Laos and the Irrawaddy in Myanmar. Jayavarman reflects that brand DNA — from the design of her public spaces to the inclusions in her base fare.
The ship's typical home waters are the Mekong, where she runs 2 distinct itineraries during the operating season. Repositioning sailings, themed wine cruises and Christmas-market voyages may be added in autumn and early winter.
