New luxury vessel for Mekong
HO CHI MINH – Construction of the MV Jayavarman – a luxury river cruiser – is underway following a traditional Buddhist blessing ceremony and keel laying ceremony.
Buddhist monks performed a time-honoured ‘blessing of the gods’ ceremony over the keel of the 58-metre vessel which, when finished by August next year, will be positioned as a boutique cruise vessel on the Mekong River.
With construction costs estimated in excess of US$4 million, the MV Jayavarman’s onboard accommodation includes 27 spacious staterooms each complete with private balcony.
The ship’s facilities also include a spa, restaurant, two lounges, shop and a library spread over 800sqm on five decks.
The MV Jayavarman will make its maiden voyage in August 2009, sailing from Ho Chi Minh via Phnom Penh to Siem Reap, the jump off point for Angkor Wat.
Following her maiden voyage MV Jayavarman will commence operation of a medley of Mekong Delta cruise itineraries structured over three, four, five and eight days.
