Cruise News - Pandaw River Cruises - RV Mekong Pandaw
January 13 - 2013 : The RV Mekong Pandaw of Pandaw Cruises Gets dates
This year brings news of the pride of Pandaw River Cruises, the RV Mekong Pandaw.
The Mekong Pandaw was built in Burma in 2002 and was the first river cruise cruise ship to pioneer the might Mekong from Saigon to Angkor. This colonial style ship, hand crafted in teak and brass remains one of the most loved ships in the Pandaw fleet of ten.
This year, she will be refitted with new bathrooms, air conditioning and French windows leading to personal deck space. The number of cabins are being reduced to just twenty-six to make way a much enlarged spa, gym and library on the lower deck.
The Mekong Pandaw now has the largest public space to passenger ratio of any cruise ship in the world, offering passengers their personal butlers and the highest staff-guest ratios afloat, ensuring sensational service.
A feature of all river cruises with Pandaw River Cruies is the once or twice daily shore excursions led by expert local guides exploring Buddhist temples, historical sites, markets and handicraft workshops.
The Pandaw River Cruises cruise ships have an ultra shallow draft enabling them to moor where other larger ships could not stop. Inland water navigation in these regions is challenging, and the Pandaws have been specially designed to cope with constantly changing river conditions.
