The Pandaw experience is all about exploring

remote and often hard-to-navigate rivers and coasts

in specially-designed luxury small ships

RV TONLEPANDAW - Handcrafted Luxury

Each ship, hand-crafted in brass and teak, is an object of beauty

in itself. A Pandaw adventure is very different from that offered

on an ocean-going cruise. The ships are small scale, and the

atmosphere is informal, and very friendly.

Modelled on Pandaw II and originally called Pandaw III, the

Tonle saw a year’s service in Burma in 2002/3 before being sent

under tug-tow to the Mekong where she has done continuous

service between Saigon and Kampong Cham ever since. With

her gorgeous upper deck saloon, observation decks and formal

dining room this ship is an old favourite and has a rich

ambience. In 2013 she was fully refitted and the number of

cabins reduced to just twenty-eight in order to create a

professional spa and library on the lower deck. She is not a

small ship but despite her size she has a shallow draft and can

usually get up river into low water areas when other vessels are

stuck well below. .

The MP as she is affectionately known is our most spacious ship

with wider promenades, a larger dining hall and more public

space per passenger than any known ship afloat. Seriously! In

2012 she was refitted and lower deck cabins removed in favour

of a professional spa, gym, library lounge and office. She is

quite justifiably the most splendid ship on the Mekong and the

envy of anything that floats by.

As we sail, we find that our passengers like to sit on deck,

absorbed by the awe-inspiring riverside panoramas that unfold

before them. From the comfortable vantage point of a

teak-floored Pandaw deck, it's hard not to become hypnotised by

the unceasing human and wildlife activity that characterises the

great rivers of Asia.

STATEROOM - The Pandaw stateroom is the most

celebrated feature of Pandaw 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. 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. All our cabins have

the same size and Pandaw signature amenities. Choose from

Main Deck, Upper Deck

ACCOMMODATION: 18 upper deck, 6 main deck staterooms, 170 square

feet, finished in teak and brass, Panoramic French window, leading to personal

deck space, New bathrooms with natural stone shower and branded quality
