PANDAW RIVER CRUISES, MYANMAR

PANDAW RIVER CRUISES

GRACEFUL LOUNGES

Small but perfectly formed boats with hardwood decks, graceful lounges, grand viewing areas and one member of staff to every two passengers. Taking a Pandaw river expedition is less like a formal cruise, and more like a party aboard a private yacht.

Every morning there is a casual briefing session about the day’s stops along the river, about menus and the different activities taking place on board. So you can relax, look forward to going ashore and becoming immersed in your own adventure. You can see the major sights of historic importance; the finely decorated temples depicting centuries of belief, the ancient monuments commemorating the milestone events that shaped this extraordinary region of the world.

GLIMPSE OF PARADISE

You can visit small riverside villages where life seems to have hardly changed with the passing of time. You can meet people and glimpse their lifestyle – so different to your own – and appreciate their culture and crafts. You can visit floating markets and wave at passing river people who live full time on their traditional shabby-but-picturesque trading barges.

Or you can simply hang over the ship’s rail and stare in wonder at the fish walking along the muddy banks, or at the passing parade on the shore. You can lounge on one of the observation decks watching the teeming water world, whilst one of the ever-attentive crew brings you coffee or cocktails. On a Pandaw River Expedition you quickly realise that – for once – life really is all about you.

Testimonial 2
“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
