The Tonle Sap, Southeast Asia's largest freshwater body, pulses with life! This wonder is home to many Cambodians and boasts the world's most productive inland fishery.

But here's the twist: Its lifeline, the Tonle Sap River, reverses its flow every 6 months! This incredible rhythm causes the lake to swell to five times its size during the wet season.

Just like a living, breathing organism, its residents have skillfully adapted to the Tonle Sap’s rhythmic, annual inhalation of water, flora and fauna. Their lives transform with the water, from farming fertile land in the dry season to thriving as fishermen when the lake expands.

Heritage Line's all-time favourite lux- ship Jayavarman refurbed

While the news of the Heritage Line Jayavarman's relaunch might be considered 'old hat' by now, having circulated for some time, we like to share a bit more insight into what is new.

Most of the upkeep has been done below the surface unvisitable for the guests. Big investments in technical equipment were need like new engine, AC system, generators etc.

However, the public and private areas also see some very nice innovation. Staterooms and Suites have been brought back to glory after their covid slumber including some redesign of the entry staterooms Superior. Lounges in- and outdoor, the famous bar and other public areas have been refurbed and polished back to its refined beauty.

The greatest visual changes can be seen in the restaurant now, which has received a major transformation, adding an open kitchen facility to it plus very cosy and nice-looking bench seating options. The open kitchen facility adds a new and different dimension of culinary life on board experience allowing guests to observe live cooking and having nice interaction with the kitchen team.

Have a look yourself.
