Accommodation:
The Pandaw stateroom is the most celebrated feature of our ships. Finished in brass and teak, the main and upper deck rooms are very spacious at 168 square feet (15.6 sqm). Much loved by all our passengers we have ensured that with each ship we build the stateroom remains the same. Our cabins do not have mini-bars, satellite TV’s, internet or phones. There is a 24 honesty bar on the sundeck. Pandaw passengers usually want to escape from the tiresome features found in international business hotels.
Many passengers describe life on board a Pandaw more like being a guest on a private motor yacht than a cruise ship. Where we go and what we see is intrepid in extreme. What you come back to is a floating base of discreet comfort, caring service and all the good things one looks for in life.
Bar and Dining
The Pandaw dining rooms are designed to open up along the sides and only at night do we close them up and use air conditioning. We know our passengers want fresh air not chilled air.
We offer a great choice of local cuisine and exotic foods. We source supplies as locally as possible, given environmental health regulations. Breakfast and lunch are buffets and dinner is served at the tables. Passengers who do not like hot or spicy foods are offered European alternatives and vegetarians are well catered for. Our chefs know that the majority of passengers want to eat the best of each country they pass through.
Mekong Cruises
Wefeel that to travel on a Pandaw riverboat is a wonderful experience – its interesting and relaxing, we were very well cared for and the food is delicious. However, this time it was really extra special. Thank you for arranging for us to be spoilt even more than usual. The menus were fantastic!
My husband and I took a cruise up the Irrawaddy river at the end of October into November on Pandaw . We would like to thank you for a wonderful trip even though it is very belated. The crew were fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they always had such smiling welcoming faces. Please convey our thanks to them.
We so enjoyed our recent cruise on the Pandaw Orient from Siem Reap on 28th. January that I wanted to write and tell you. All the crew could not have done more to make our holiday a very enjoyable one. Nothing was too much trouble, the boat was beautiful and we were so spoilt.
I had the very good fortune to be on the RV Tonle Pandaw for the trip between Saigon and Tonle Sap Lake. It was an amazing trip. I have been on numerous river cruises, and many ocean cruises. I enjoyed each and every one of them. But none of them came close to being on the RV Tonle Pandaw. No one else ever came close to the feeling of being truly cared for that the crew of the RV Tonle Pandaw gave to each one of us on board. It goes without saying that the ship is beautiful. The food excellent. The service beyond compare. But far surpassing anything I have ever experienced before was the dedication and true concern of every member of the crew for each of us on the cruise
