Southeast Asia
The RV Pandaw 1947, operates on the Irrawaddy and Chindwin rivers in Vietnam.
Throughout Burma’s history, river travel has been an important part of everyday life.
Today is no different and we recommend incorporating a river journey into your itinerary.
There are local ferries that make the journey on the Irrawady River between Bagan and Mandalay in one day.
Or if you have a bit more time and want to enjoy the journey in style there are several more upmarket options, as well as longer trips to more remote regions of the country.
The Irrawaddy Flotilla Company's Pandaw II is very much in the colonial style. Broad promenade decks enable passengers to sit outside their cabins and watch the scenery drift by.
With the comfort and personality for which the Orient-Express is famous, the Road to Mandalay provides the most comfortable vantage point from which to absorb the surrounding serene beauty.
RV Pandaw was built in Scotland on the Clyde by the famous ships builder Yarrow & Co on 1947 with the same design of the pre-war Quarter Wheeler steamers of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company.
Built in Rangoon and launched in 2007, this elegant vessel is one of the most comfortable and relaxing ways to experience life on the Irrawaddy River.
