Merge of Heritage Line and Cruise Halong

Online, November 20, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Heritage-Line, owning company of the magnificent Jayavarman and Jahan cruises, is in final stages of a merger with an equally magnificent cruise ship company, the Cruise Halong. This merger is expected to strengthen Heritage-Line's position as the leading cruise company in the Indochina region. "The merger will place us in good stead to refine and consolidate our services and products, synergize our efforts and achieve greater passenger satisfaction under the single brand name Heritage Line," says Thomas Peter, chief executive officer of Heritage-Line.

Following the merger, Cruise Halong will operate under the branch office of Heritage Line (Halong).

The sales and marketing department will be consolidated within a single location - Heritage Line's HCMC office - servicing the destinations of Halong Bay and the Mekong. Since July 30 2012, the Heritage Line office has been handling Cruise Halong's reservations. All e-mail communications have also been reduced to a single domain suffix: @heritage-line.com. In the near future, the Heritage Line website will include both cruising destinations.

The Halong boats (Ginger, Jasmine and Violet) are now part of the unique Heritage Line Collection. They are currently undergoing a major rebranding process.

"We are looking forward to providing our guests with excellent service for both cruises under the Heritage Line brand," says Peter.
