RV Pandaw

RV Pandaw

Upper Deck Double Use
$240 per pax

The Pandaw Concept, as it became known, offered a new travel experience quite unlike other forms of travel: combining an expedition atmosphere with an elegant base afloat. But what made the Pandaw style unique was the ability of these shallow draft ships to penetrate and explore remote areas of the country and enable real cultural exchange between the traveler and the inhabitants of the great river valleys of Myanmar.
A journey on Burma's Irrawaddy River is one of life's great travel experiences. No vessel could be more appropriate for this than a ship of the Pandaw fleet.

The largely uncharted chain of more than 800 islands, cradled by pristine reefs and turquoise waters, has recently been declared off-limits to outsiders by the country’s government . . .
