RIVER CRUISES & LODGE

Ayrayata Cruise
There is no better way to discover Myanmar’s Irrawaddy and Chindwin Rivers than a sail onboard one of Ayravata Cruises’ deluxe boats.
Rv Pandaw 1947 was built on the Clyde in Scotland in 1947 in the style of the pre-war steamers of the Irrawaddy Flotilla Company. Arriving in what was then known as Burma in 1950 the Pandaw was put into service in 1951 to carry both cargo and passengers along the Irrawaddy River. In the 1998 she was converted into a 16 cabin luxurious river cruiser by the revived Irrawaddy Flotilla Company and following a second major refitting in 2003 has been operated by Ayravata Cruises.

RV Paukan is the newest addition to the Ayravata Cruise. The lovely Paukan is a boutique hotel on the river, beautifully furnished with a unique combination of modern and traditional motifs. The timber-walled cabins are furnished with colonial style cupboards, dresser and doors while the ceiling is traditional Myanmar.

Road to Mandalay
Cruising gently along the Irrawaddy River, The Road To Mandalay accesses the unique sights, scents and sounds of Burma (Myanmar) in Orient-Express style and luxury. Originally built as a Rhine cruiser in Germany in 1964, the ship was later purchased and refurbished by Orient-Express and transported to Myanmar in 1995, where it's been plying the Irrawaddy River ever since.  Inside this graceful river cruiser the emphasis rests on traditional comfort combined with delightful luxury.
The ship also offers evening marionette and dance shows by local performers.  During the day time, demonstrations and lectures are scheduled should you wish to enhance your understanding of local culture.  The Road to Mandalay has a crew of on-board chefs who provide the best in local and international cuisine.  Trips vary from 3-11 nights, cruising between the cities of Mandalay and Bagan.
