RV Jahan Review
Review of RV Jahan
The 2010-built RV Jahan cruise ship is owned by Heritage Line and operated by its subsidiary company (and brand) Jahan Cruises. The riverboat is currently chartered by the cruise line National Geographic Lindblad Expeditions as one of the top-rated boutique-style Mekong River cruise vessels. In the Heritage Line fleet, RV Jahan’s sisterships are RV Jayavarman (also known as Mekong Explorer, built in 2009), RV Anawrahta (2015) and RV Anouvong (2019).
History - construction and ownership
The 50-passenger ship RV Jahan was named after Shah Jahan, an Indian emperor who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1628 to 1658. He was a great patron of architecture and the arts and oversaw the construction of many legendary sites, including the Red Fort in India and the famous gardens of Kashmir.

RV Jahan’s itinerary program is based on 7-night Mekong River cruises departing from Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) and Siem Reap.
Cabins
Designed in the style of classic colonial liners, the Jahan ship offers 26 luxurious cabins featuring queen-size beds, floor-to-ceiling windows, and private balconies with en-suite bathrooms. The riverboat boasts some of the largest balcony staterooms (30-50 m2) on Indochina’s waterways.
