Luxury river cruises with small ships in Asia
For more than 25 years, Pandaw Cruises has been the leader in river cruises in Asia. Pandaw currently has 17 beautiful ships in operation, calling on as many as six amazing countries. Luxury small-scale river cruise expeditions include cruising the Mekong River through Vietnam and Cambodia; the Red River and Halong Bay in Vietnam; Laos and Thailand on the Upper Mekong and in India on the Ganges and Brahmaputra and along the Sunderbans in Bangladesh.
Life on board
Sailing on a Pandaw ship is a true outdoor experience. As comfortable and spacious as the staterooms are, passengers prefer to spend their time outside, on the promenade decks or on the huge teak-floored observation deck above, while awe-inspiring riverside panoramas unfold with the incessant human and animal activity characteristic of Asia's great rivers.
Pandaw Cruises' fleet
Pandaw Cruises operates beautiful, home-built ships. Each vessel, hand-finished in brass and teak by traditional craftsmen, is an object of great beauty. The secret of Pandaw's success is that while luxury and comfort are always present, on the ships character and friendly atmosphere prevail. All Pandaws have a very shallow draft and can travel to remote areas inaccessible to other passenger ships, let alone by land.
