Discover Laos from the New Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane with The Bohème Journey

The Bohème Journey is a fascinating new way Avani Hotels & Resorts is positioning Laos as a luxury-yet-cultural destination. It’s essentially a capital-to-capital itinerary that blends city exploration, slow river travel, and heritage immersion:

Start in Vientiane:
At the newly opened Avani+ Lanexang Vientiane Hotel (197 rooms, contemporary design with Lao touches). Perfect for exploring landmarks like Patuxai and Pha That Luang before boarding the cruise.

Five nights aboard Bohème:
A boutique 50-metre cruiser with just 13 cabins (max 26 guests). Highlights include:
- Deluxe and Royal Suites with balconies and sundecks
- All-inclusive dining, cocktails, and workshops (cooking, mixology)
- Visits to riverside communities (paper-making, weaving, pottery)
- Ethical wildlife encounter at Elephant Sanctuary Laos
- Kuang Si Waterfalls excursion

End in Luang Prabang:
At Avani+ Luang Prabang Hotel, right in the UNESCO-listed old town opposite the Night Market. Easy access to temples, almsgiving tradition, and artisan shops.

Package details:
From USD 5,175 for two guests, including hotels, cruise, meals, excursions, transfers, and signature experiences. Minimum six nights.

This journey is a clever way to link two Avani properties with a river cruise, offering travelers a seamless route through Laos without backtracking. It positions Laos as both accessible (via Vientiane’s growing air connectivity) and deeply experiential (via the Mekong and Luang Prabang’s heritage).
