Info : Pandaw (Epic) River Cruises

Pandaw offer a variety of cruises in Myanmar and they operate a large fleet of small boats to cover all river conditions. As such, they always lead the way in terms of offering fascinating epic journeys.  

Pandaw offer fairly regular 15-day journeys along the Irrawaddy from Yangon to Mandalay; this is a great introduction to Myanmar ideal and for those with a little time to spare. You’ll have chance to relax as you pass spectacular scenery and land stops will offer you the chance to visit remote colonial towns, to explore pagodas by trishaw, ascend mountains by jeep and to explore the famous sites at Bagan and Mandalay. Our Myanmar Highlights with In-Depth River Journey includes this cruise (or an abridged 11-day version) in conjunction with hotels and our signature tours of Lake Inle and Yangon.

Pandaw’s longest expeditions tend to be unique, innovative trips that are different with each sailing.  A good example is their three week cruise taking in both the remote reaches of the Irrawaddy and Chindwin River's. A once-in-a-lifetime adventure for those with time to spare and the desire to get totally off-the-beaten-track with all the benefits of staying on a cruise boat.

The specific boats operating Pandaw’s epic journeys vary depending on river conditions, although they generally use their RV Pandaw II on the 15-day Irrawaddy cruise. All their cruises offer high quality accommodation, excellent dining and fantastic service. 

Rating

Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
