Heritage Line, a leading river cruise operator in Southeast Asia, has targetted restart dates in September 2022 to resume luxury river cruises in Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, TTR weekly reported.

In its latest Covid-19 update and information posted in its email updates to partners, the company confirmed cruises along stretches of the Lower Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia should begin from 1 January 2022 using two luxury boats, the Jahan and Jayavarman.

But as it stands now, borders are closed across Southeast Asia, making it impossible to organise river cruises that cross borders between Vietnam and Cambodia.
