Whether aboard a cruise ship, an aircraft, a train, or any other form of transportation, the concept must demonstrate a seamless blend of comfort, design, service, and storytelling. The winning initiative should offer guests a memorable, elevated journey, setting a new benchmark for mobile hospitality experiences.
The project:
Operated by Minor Hotels’ Mekong Kingdoms, Bohème is a 50-meters river cruiser sailing the Unesco-listed Mekong corridor between Luang Prabang and Vientiane.
With 13 suites across three decks, the vessel offers multi-night itineraries focused on landscape, culture, and workshops linked to local traditions. Built with regional materials and highlighting Laotian craftsmanship, Bohème aligns hospitality with sustainability and place-based experiences.
In 2025, private charters also operate between Luang Prabang and Xayaboury.
The Hospitality Awards celebrate innovation and excellence and highlight the most creative initiatives in a sector that is constantly and rapidly changing hospitality.
