  1. Heritage Line is pleased to announce to our valued partners, that it now has its own Operations Team on the ground in Myanmar under the overall guidance of Terry Gordon, the line’s Director of Operations. According to Managing Director, Maarten Perdok, “What this team has allowed us to do is evaluate each of the rivers [the Ayeyarwady and Chindwin] and the physical stops along the way in order to maximise the experiences for our guests. It is also incumbent upon us to offer as many enriching programs as possible in keeping with the credo of our Brand.” Perdok further states, “Myanmar is seeing significant growth as a destination and we have to do our best to separate ourselves from the ever increasing competition.” According to Nelson Balilo, Director of Sales & Marketing, “The re-evaluation of our operations in Myanmar has resulted in Heritage Line now offering seven standard itineraries, instead of five, and two specialty cruises – 5D/4N Christmas and a 5D/4N New Year’s 2016.” “As a result, we have developed a new e-brochure titled, The Ayeyarwady Collection which we are sharing in pdf form. Balilo continues, “The new itineraries have resulted in revised rate structures and new contracts which will soon be forwarded to you. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that it may cause in pre-selling our ship and itineraries, but our new offerings will deliver even more memorable experiences for your customers.” In addition to receiving the revised contracts, a combined printed version of the brochure with all three of our destinations will be forthcoming. The Anawrahta joins Heritage Line’s fleet of luxury cruise vessels in Ha Long Bay [Ginger, Jasmine and Violet] and on the Mekong [Jayavarman and Jahan.] For any related clarifications or questions, kindly contact Mr. Balilo at DOSM@heritage-line.com .

  5. REVIVING THE GOLDEN AGE OF TRAVEL In an era of supersonic planes, pullet trains and even space tourism, discerning travelers are opting to return to the golden Age of Travel, going low and slow. Cruising is the fastest growing segment of the travel industry, with an estimated 21 million passengers testing out their sea legs last year. While the vast majority are traveling on ocean-going cruise ships, river cruising, with its smaller ships and ability to dock right at the cities instead of distant seaports, is increasing at an even faster rate. “River cruising is one of the best ways to discover a country and its culture”, said Maarten Perdok, Managing Director of the Vietnam-based, luxury river cruise company, Heritage Line Co.,Ltd. “You get to see the country from a different angle and to go places other tourists don’t because there are simply no roads going to those places”. In addition to enjoying the convenience and intimacy of river cruising, Heritage Line guests can also expert onboard levels of luxury more commonly associated with bygone eras. “You’re very close to life on the river which is quite unique”, explains Maarten. “But then you have your floating hotel, luxury that’s always on standby. During the day guests go off on excursions but in no time are back to their cabin, their comfort zone, with a chilled glass of wine waiting for them and an attendant to shine their shoes.” Established in 2009, Heritage Line is a consummate collector of ships and vessels combining Old World elegance with modern inspired by French colonial cruise liners and travel the Mekong River between Saigon-Tan Chau-Phnom Penh-Siem Reap. In Halong Bay, Heritage Line operates three traditional wooden junks on one-and two-night itineraries. The newest river cruiser in the collection is the 23-cabin Anawrshts, named after King Anawrahta, the 11th century founder of the Burmese nation. Built entirely in Vietnam, it will ply the Ayeyawady and Chindwin Rivers in Myanmar beginning mid-September 2015. Named “Destination of the Year” by Travel + Leisure magazine, Marteen adds that “Myanmar has a lot of potential because it’s practically untouched by the commercial world. But because infrastructure is lacking, river cruising is one of the best, if not the best way to travel the country.” The Anawrahta features Kipling’s Bar with high ceilings and large windows, the Mandalay Lounge with polished wood floor and the relaxed feel of a colonial club as well as the Hintha Hall Restaurant where guests dine on white tablecloths with gleaming glassware while watching the scenery roll by through large picture windows. Staterooms range from 32-86 sqm and boast private balconies, fine works of Burmese art and even a private Jacuzzi in ratio (46 crew serving 46 passengers) on the Ayeyarwady, world class cuisine and unique excursions as well as daily onboard lectures and entertainment. While the gorgeous interior mixes Burmese motifs and British colonial-style décor, the ship itself can rightly be called a work of art, comprised of an aluminum superstructure on top of steel hull. “Because of the low water levels in Myanmar, we used a lot of lightweight materials for this cruiser which are typically not used,” said Technical Director Stefan Malin. “We took advantage of the experience we had from building two other ships, bringing together the right contractors and the right materials to build a very high-quality vessel.” “We wanted to reach a low draft of just one meter, so that we could stay ahead of the competition and cruise further out, and stay longer in areas with very low water levels,” added Marteen. “We can go to remote places on the Ayeyarwady where no one else can go, offering guests a very unique experience all year round.” The Anawrahta will sail on four different itineraries ranging from 4 to 11 nights, visiting ports including Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Bhamo. The longest itinerary is the 901-mile, 12 days / 11 nights journey from Mandalay to Homalin on the Chidwin River and ending in Bagan on the Ayeyarwady River, with excursions to textile and silversmithing workshops, temples and convents and teak forests with working elephants, amongst others.

  6. HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam ― The luxury river cruiser “Anawrahta”, owned by Heritage Line, left Ho Chi Minh City on July 8th aboard the heavy lift vessel, Rolldock Storm, bound for a 5-day journey to Myanmar where it will ply the Ayeyarwady and Chindwin Rivers beginning late-September 2015. “Myanmar is a very hot destination with a lot of potential because it’s practically untouched by the commercial world,” said Maarten Perdok, Managing Director of Heritage Line Co., Ltd., of the country that has been named “Destination of the Year” by Travel + Leisure magazine. “The Ayeyarwady is a stunning river to cruise and explore. In fact, river cruising is one of the best ways to discover a country and its culture. You get to see the country from a different angle and go to places other tourists don’t because there are simply no roads going to those places. This is especially true in Myanmar where infrastructure is lacking, making cruising one of the best, if not the best way to travel the country.” Built entirely in Vietnam over 14 months, the 23-cabin luxury vessel has an aluminum superstructure on top of a steel hull. “Because of the low water levels in Myanmar, we used a lot of lightweight materials for this cruiser which are typically not used,” said Technical Director Stefan Malin. “We took advantage of the experience we had from building two other ships, bringing together the right contractors and the right materials to build a very high-quality vessel.” “We wanted to reach a low draft of just one meter, so that we could stay ahead of the competition and cruise further out, and stay longer in areas with very low water levels,” added Perdok. “We can go to remote places on the Ayeyarwady where no one else can go, offering guests a very unique experience all year round. I’m happy to say that we succeeded in reaching this very low draft.” The Anawrahta will sail on four different itineraries ranging from 4 to 11 nights, visiting ports including Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay and Bhamo. The longest itinerary is the 901-mile, 12 days / 11 nights journey from Mandalay to Homalin on the Chidwin River and ending in Bagan on the Ayeyarwady River, with excursions to textile and silversmithing workshops, temples and convents and teak forests with working elephants, amongst others. Guests on the four-deck Anawrahta can expect a five-star experience, including the highest crew-to-passenger ratio (46 crew serving 46 passengers) and the largest cabins on the Ayeyarwady River all with private balcony, luxury amenities, world class cuisine and unique excursions as well as daily onboard lectures and entertainment. “You’re very close to life on the river which is quite unique,” said Perdok. “But then you have your floating hotel, luxury that’s always on standby. During the day guests go off on excursions but in no time are back to their cabin, their comfort zone, with a chilled glass of wine waiting for them.” Named after King Anawrahta, the 11th century founder of the Burmese nation, Anawrahta is modeled after a turn of the century vintage steamer and mixes Burmese motifs and British colonial-style décor. In addition to 23 spacious cabins, it features a bar, lounge, restaurant, spa, gym and Jacuzzi pool. It joins the five other unique Heritage Line ships in Halong Bay, Vietnam and on the Mekong River between Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and Siem Reap (Angkor Wat), Cambodia.

  8. Discover the wonders of Halong Bay this summer. Vietnam’s Halong Bay should be on everyone’s ‘once-in-a-lifetime’, ‘must-see’ or ‘bucket-list’ as a unique destination. It is truly one of the most beautiful and breathtaking places on the planet. Local people will tell you a very colorful story about the creation of the Bay. It is said that once upon a time, when ancestors fought with the Chinese, the Gods sent dragons to help the Vietnamese warriors. Trying to make a barrier, these fearsome creatures spit precious stones that turned into islands. These islands created a wall that protected the Vietnamese people from their aggressors. The dragons liked the rocky islands and decided to leave them behind after the war. The Vietnamese named this place, where Mother Dragon landed – Halong, which means “a place where dragon descended into the sea.” Located in the northeast of Vietnam, Halong Bay is place where people come to enjoy many things - from sailing, kayaking or swimming in waters surrounded by incredibly shaped mountains, to fishing, climbing or biking on these karst jewels. One would think that with such popularity, the Bay would be very crowded and noisy. But with 1,600 islands and islets, there really is a lot of private space. There are also a countless number of caves and grottos of all shapes and sizes filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Some of the caves have become tourist sites or places to hold private functions which when lit with colorful lights, resemble fairy-tale underground castles. Traveling to Halong in any season of the year, visitors always discover its seductive, enchanting beauty. If you’re wondering where to go this summer, follow the advice of Heritage Line and make a trip to discover the wonders of Halong Bay. Spend at least two nights on the Bay. If you just take a day tour, you will just skim the surface of the Bay. With just one 24-hour sailing period, your range is limited and you will only glimpse a small portion of this natural wonder. But if you spend a second day and night, you will broaden your range and have more worthwhile trip. You’ve come a long way to visit, why not take advantage of the full 3 day / 2 night experience on the Bay. We have the honor of offering you our journey “The Jewels of Halong Bay” to discover the hidden jewels-glittering and untouched –that lies deep in the Bay and on Cat Ba Island.
