Mekong River Cruises, Vietnam
The Jahan
Colonial Style with Great Facilities
Named after the Indian Emperor Shah Jahan, this vessel evokes strong a British Raj colonial aesthetic with no expense spared on its design.
Of the 26 cabins aboard the Jahan, you’ll find a variety of guest rooms and suites. These start from the 30sqm Superior Staterooms, which come with large outdoor balconies and queen-sized beds and move up to the 36sqm signature staterooms, with their wooden poster beds and thoughtful details such as treasure chests to store your belongings.
The three decks of the Jahan are resplendent with a host of amenities. Dine al-fresco on the terrace deck with the Mekong as your backdrop or put your feet up in the elegant boutique lounge, The Raj of India. The best way to while away the days drifting down river, however, is to take a seat on one of the comfy colonial sofas of the East India Club, the hotel bar where you can enjoy a refreshing drink whilst savouring the views of the setting sun.

Inside the hotel, La Siesta Premium Hang Be is a sanctuary of elegance. The interior exudes a calm sophistication, with a neutral colour palette of soft creams and warm accents, enhanced by thoughtful lighting that creates a serene atmosphere.

Situated on the 9th floor and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, Cloud Nine offers panoramic views that sweep across Hanoi’s storied rooftops, the shimmering Hoan Kiem Lake and the serene Red River. The restaurant’s name, inspired by the phrase “on cloud nine,” encapsulates the bliss you’ll feel as you gaze out over the city and savour exquisitely prepared dishes. Sunlight floods the space during the day, while in the evening, the city’s lights twinkle beneath you, enhancing the sense of floating above Hanoi’s streets.
