Here we all are under lock down dreaming of trips we have once taken and trips we might one day go on. The world is uncertain, but one thing is for certain and that is we are still going ahead with the majority of our river expeditions next season.

We have cut some less popular dates and merged certain departures where we have two vessels on the same routing but we will be very much up and running. Amazingly, bookings are still coming in which shows that there are lots of optimists out there.

For new bookings we offer peace of mind by just asking for a fixed deposit of just USD100 on any cabin booked (single or double occupancy) between now and the 1st August 2020. This means that you can book now to get a guaranteed cabin but if you change your mind for whatever you can walk away without too much of a hit. If you want to go ahead with the trip then we will ask you to make up the deposit to the usual amount by 1st August 2020 (or balance if due beforehand).

This offer is open to all members who will need to have their membership number handy when making the booking. If you have not yet joined you can do so here at our Pandaw Members Club. If you prefer to book through a travel agent make sure you tell them you are a member and provide your Member ID.

Burma (Myanmar) is a land of rivers. The Irrawaddy river, navigable for 1000 miles, or its main tributary the Chindwin river, navigable for 600 miles, and the Salween river which is actually the longest river in Burma.

The Mekong river flows through six countries and on this section of the river three smaller Pandaw cruise ships cover from Vientiane in Laos to Jinghong in Yunnan, South-West China, stopping in Chiang Rai province of North Thailand and Keng Tung State in the Shan Hills of Burma.

Traverse picturesque West Bengal with its Arcadian countryside and cultural treasures – from temple complexes to colonial palazzi. Sail between Kolkata and holy Varanasi said to be the oldest city on the planet.

The Mekong river flows through six countries and Pandaw are proud to now offer river cruises through all of these. We pass through a richly varying riverscape from the vast Mekong Delta with floating markets, bustling trading towns and vibrant river life to the silence of the Cambodian Mekong river with its delightful rural life.
