Once per 7 night cruise there will be a Barbecue Gala Dinner, one Riverbank Cocktail Party and one farewell party.

While onboard the ships, there is a relaxed dress code for general life and it is recommended to wear smart casual for dinner. Although not required, you can dress a bit more formal (such as evening gown or suit and tie) should you wish.

On land it is essential to bring clothing suitable for the climate, ideally breathable and loose items made of cotton or other natural materials. Please also bring comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes for off-shore excursions.

Depending on the time of year, it can become cooler at night in Northern Vietnam and Cambodia, so a pullover is also useful. While visiting temples, pagodas and other holy sites, you must wear suitable clothing that covers knees and shoulders.

All Heritage Line ships are equipped with a Wi-Fi network and free Internet access is offered in the public areas (and selected top suites). Please note that as Internet service uses a cellular network, while the 4G signal is strong in the lower Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia, it can be interrupted in remote corners of Southeast Asia.

The process of getting on and off river cruise ships, particularly when docked along side other ships, can cause issues for those passengers with walking difficulties.

There are no elevators on board Heritage Line ships.

Table reservations are not required while on board in the main restaurants, with their Mekong ships serving buffet breakfasts and lunches on a relaxed freestyle basis, and dinner on a la carte basis, but with open seating.

Once per cruise, a special Barbecue Gala Dinner is served on the sun deck, including entertainment.

Guests booked into Noble and Signature Suites will also access private dining in the Observatory Lounge once per cruise, with reservations required.

There is a laundry service on board for a fee, costs of which are provided in the staterooms. Guests in the premium suites can also take advantage of complimentary laundry services and butlers you look after your clothes and shoes.

Gratuities are not included on the cruise. There is a tip box in the main lobby area, in which you can leave a group tip for all staff and crew on the day that you disembark. We recommend an amount of roughly $30-40 per day, which would be divided up amongst all staff.

If there are any guides or crew members that you have especially appreciated, we recommend individual tips of around $5 per day.
