You can now private charter this luxurious 50-metre river cruiser down the Mekong
For a more serene experience, the upper reaches of the Mekong will satisfy. And now, you can enjoy such a journey in ultimate luxury and privacy via private charter aboard Mekong Kingdoms' luxury river cruise, Bohème.
The Bohème glides along a quieter section of the Mekong River, between the UNESCO World Heritage town of Luang Prabang and Xayaboury in Laos, and back. A 50-metre cruiser with 13 suites (for up to 26 guests), it is now available for anyone who wishes to book out the entire boat for private sailings.
You can book the private charter package for trips happening up to September this year. Luxury is a given: the suites are modern and stylishly appointed, with a 60-square-metre Royal Suite that features a freestanding bath and a private balcony for tranquil hours watching the scenery pass by. Guests can also expect attentive butler service, onboard spa treatments, and fine dining meals accompanied by thoughtful wine pairings.
The itinerary also offers numerous opportunities for you to immerse yourself in Laotian culture, with excursions to the sacred Pak Ou Caves to view thousands of devotional images, the artisan village of Ban Chan Neua to learn pottery techniques, and an invigorating swim at the Kuang Si Waterfalls. Cocktail classes, yoga sessions, and dinner under the stars complete your experience aboard the Bohème.
Of course, such luxury comes with a hefty price tag. Rates start from USD 33,600 for three nights, and you must book a minimum of eight cabins. The private charter package is also available on a longer journey: a five-night itinerary between Luang Prabang and Vientiane, starting from USD 68,000 based on a minimum booking of ten cabins.

Skara Brae: The Scottish village older than the Pyramids
One such place is Skara Brae in Orkney, a 5000-year-old Neolithic settlement that was uncovered during a terrible storm in 1850. The location is said to be one of the "best-preserved" sites in Europe and paints a remarkable picture of life during this time. Take a look at Skara Brae - the prehistoric village in Scotland that's older than the Pyramids Skara Brae is located on the western side of the Orkney mainland (Image: Tripadvisor) Skara Brae would have been home to a variety of people, including farmers, hunters and fishermen. According to Historic Environment Scotland, it is "the best-preserved group of prehistoric houses in all of western Europe" and contains a number of fascinating artefacts such as gaming dice, tools and jewellery. Skara Brae features nine surviving homes (Image: Tripadvisor) Of the nine surviving homes in this "extraordinary" Scottish village, all but one can be seen from the path going through the settlement. The homes are said to be equipped with "fitted" furniture made from flat stone slabs set into large mounds of midden. Each of the houses features a single room with a floor space of around 40sq m. Inside, there are box beds, central hearths and small tanks built into the floors. Skara Brae is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney (Image: Tripadvisor) It currently remains unknown why life at the village ended in around 2500 BCE. Some have argued that a huge sandstorm covered the houses, while others remain convinced that the depopulation of the site was a gradual process. As the settlement fell into decline, the construction of new sites such as the Stones of Stenness Circle and Henge began to take place across Orkney. The site is popular with visitors from across the world (Image: Tripadvisor) The archaeological site, which contains one fully reconstructed home, is a favourite spot for those visiting the area.

The history goes back 5000 years, but was only discovered in the 19th century. "We hit on a glorious day, which made it extra special. The beach alongside is stunning in the sun!" Another added: "Being able to see the ancient dwellings up close and to touch these aged artefacts was beyond any words I could conjure to describe our visit!" A third recommended the evening tour, writing that it is "well worth" the expense.

Tourist boat capsizes leaving at least three dead and 38 still missing
At least three people have died after a boat carrying 48 tourists and five crew members capsized in a popular tourist spot off the coast of Vietnam. The Wonder Sea cruise boat overturned at around 2pm local time (7am in the UK) in Ha Long Bay, Quang Ninh Province, on Sunday afternoon. A frantic search-and-rescue operation is underway, with at least 12 people rescued so far and three bodies recovered. The ship was rocked by stormy weather after a typhoon hit the South China Sea. The nationalities of the tourists is yet to be confirmed by authorities. Tens of thousands of tourists flock to the Halong Bay, which lies roughly 125 miles northeast of Hanoi, each year.
