Asia river cruise pioneer Pandaw is offering limited availability savings on Christmas-time expeditions, including a spectacular 50% reduction offer on a unique Burmese double.
Pandaw’s Christmas and New Year cruises are amongst the most popular products in their 28-route range, offering passengers the chance to mark the special days amongst the ancient sites, glorious landscapes and charming peoples of Southeast Asia, while their acclaimed chefs serve up special seasonal fare. The expeditions offer an unforgettable alternative to traditional Festive Season celebrations.
For the first time in its 21-year history Pandaw is offering a limited-availability special on its exciting new 10-night Ranong to Rangoon and the Mergui Archipelago expedition, for departures on 18 and 29 December 2016 from only USD 3’995.- (excl USD 350 port tax) per person*, PLUS a 50% discount on the Mandalay-Pagan Packet cruise when booked together.
Running consecutively, the two expeditions combine to offer an unprecedented in-depth insight into Burma’s extraordinary variety of natural landscape, history and culture.
The Ranong to Rangoon expedition is the first ever-scheduled cruise to explore the spectacular unspoiled islands and coastline of peninsular Lower Burma, another world first from Pandaw.
Pandaw is also offering special prices and waiving single supplements on other Burmese routes, with limited remaining availability. These include the 10-night Golden Land from 23 December 2016 (only USD 4’084.-, no single supplement), the 7-night Mandalay Pagan Packet from 24 and 31 December 2016 (from USD 1’732.-), the 14-night Irrawaddy from 19 December 2016 (from USD 5’720.-) and 7-nights on The Chindwin from 31 December 2016 (from USD 3’850.-).
From its acclaimed Indochina expedition range, Pandaw still has some availability for following exciting offers: A 10% discount on the 10-night Halong Bay & Red River, departing 18 and 28 December 2016 (from USD 2’925.-), the 10-night Laos Mekong, 17 and 28 December 2016 (from USD 4’200.-) and the 14-night The Mekong, from Laos to China departing 14 and 28 December (prices from USD 6’300.-).
All above prices are per person based on 2 people sharing a twin, main-deck cabin.
Passengers on board over the festive season can enjoy an especially lavish choice from their chefs’ celebrated Christmas and New Year’s dinner menus, offering slow-roast turkey with all the trimmings, slow roasted strip loin steak with red wine jus, and steamed Christmas pudding with brandy custard and vanilla bean ice cream.
Pandaw’s Ranong to Rangoon and the Mergui Archipelago, which launches in October, marks a new departure in the 21-year history of the company, which was the first to pioneer river routes deep into the interior of Southeast Asia. The 10-day expedition will explore Lower Burma’s fascinating Andaman Sea coast and some of the 800 islands of the Mergui Archipelago on board the MY Andaman Explorer; Pandaw’s newly acquired 10-suite classic 60’s cruiser.
Pandaw’s founder Paul Strachan said: “It has long been a dream of ours at Pandaw to venture into coastal cruising, and at last we have found the perfect vessel for the task. The Andaman Sea coast and the Mergui Archipelago are rich in stunning natural beauty and strong human and cultural interest.”
