Luxury Small Ship River Cruises In Asia
P&O Cruises
P&O Cruises offer a fantastic range of amenities for you to enjoy throughout your cruise with fabulous shows, sumptuous dining and fab children's activities.
P&O Cruises
Sailing on a Pandaw ship is an outdoor, fresh air experience. However comfortable and roomy the staterooms, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above. Unlike most other cruise ships, every window on board (except for the portholes on the lower deck) can be opened and closed to suit your comfort.

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.

Your Stateroom

Pandaw stateroom

Pandaw stateroom

The Pandaw stateroom is the most celebrated feature of our ships, combining splendid colonial-era character with exquisite contemporary comfort.

Finished in brass and teak, the main and upper deck rooms are a spacious 168 square feet (15.6 sqm), with the exception of the Zawgyi Pandaw which is 150 square feet (14 sqm). As the space is much loved by all our passengers, we have ensured that with each ship we build, the stateroom remains essentially the same. Be advised: our cabins do not have mini-bars, satellite TV's, internet access or telephones. Passengers tend to choose Pandaw in order to escape from the tiresome features found in international business hotels.

New for 2021 are the exclusive Pandaw suites, available on Mekong Pandaw, Tonle Pandaw, Orient Pandaw and Pandaw II. These suites, the size of two regular Pandaw Staterooms, offer guests even more space and comfort with private balcony and lounge area in every suite from which to enjoy the serene surroundings. In addition to the original 'Owners Suite' aboard the RV Kalay Pandaw, guests now have more opportunities to experience true colonial luxury with Pandaw.

Many passengers have described life on board a Pandaw as more like being a guest on a private motor yacht, than a passenger on a conventional cruise ship. For a start, our itineraries and our quest for the most spectacular sights and experiences is far more intrepid than conventional cruises. And when passengers return to the ship after experiencing the wonders of life onshore, they are coming back to a floating oasis of low-key luxury, caring service and all the good things of life.

  • Fruit and flowers on arrival
  • Kimonos and slippers
  • Spa-branded amenities
  • Unlimited mineral water
  • Free use of mini DVD player on request and selection of DVDs from our library (subject to availability)

Dining

The Pandaw dining rooms are designed to open up along the sides to allow cool breezes to waft through. Only at night we do close them up and turn on the air-conditioning. We know our passengers prefer fresh air to chilled air. The new Katha Pandaw, designed in response to feedback from our passengers, has no formal dining room but rather an open air dining space on deck.

At Pandaw we pride ourselves on offering a great choice of local cuisine and exotic foods. We source supplies and ingredients as locally as possible, always in accordance with strictly-monitored environmental health standards.

Breakfast is a buffet, while lunch features a buffet, plus soup, salad and a desert table, with the main course served at the table. Dinner is by waiter-service at the table.

We are happy to cater for individual dietary preferences. Passengers who prefer not to be served hot or spicy foods are offered delicious European-style alternatives and vegetarians are especially well catered for. Other special diets may be accommodated, by prior arrangement. Our chefs know that most passengers want to sample versions of the best, most characteristic dishes of each country they pass through.

Spa & Gym

Currently only available on our Mekong Pandaw ship, the Pandaw Spa offers head massage, foot massage and body massages in dedicated spa areas.

Our onboard spa is compact in size and staffed by a single highly-trained individual. As demand can be high, please be sure to book in advance.

Lecture & Cultures

Pandaw on board entertainment


From its earliest days, the Pandaw concept has been deeply rooted in cultural and historical expertise, worn lightly. On any Pandaw river expedition, daily briefings are hosted by your purser and guide, which provide a forum to discuss the day's events and plans.

Most sailings will feature at least one cultural performance: in Burma it is the marionette theatre; in Cambodia the Royal Khmer Ballet; in Laos villagers perform a dance on deck.

We also offer a range of onboard activities including: cooking demonstrations, fruit carving, napkin tying and a tour of the working ship.

Themed movie nights are also popular - the film Indochine in Vietnam, The Killing Fields in Cambodia and The Lady in Burma are some of the favourites.

Activities

Whilst the peace and tranquillity of our passengers is our priority and many passengers prefer to read, write or engage in painting or photography, we do offer a number of social activities that have become a traditional part of any Pandaw river expedition.

There are a number of social events during an expedition which will include a welcome dinner, cocktail parties on deck, a farewell gala dinner and dinners themed with local menus and costume. In the Burma dry season we often tie up on a sandbank and have a barbeque beach party on the sands, usually around a bonfire in winter.

Excursions

Pandaw excursions

Excursions ashore are a key part of any Pandaw river expedition. These may take the form of a good walk through the countryside and villages; further explorations by speedboat going deeper into jungle or up river; horse cart rides in Burma or cyclos in Cambodia.

We try not to use cars or coaches wherever possible and in some places only the most basic local transportation is available, like at Katha in Burma where you may find yourself in the back of a truck looking for a working elephant camp.

We stop at least once a day, and usually twice. On the Mekong we will spend a day and a night in exciting Phnom Penh; in Burma we need at least a day and a half in both Pagan and Mandalay. Our expert guides will accompany you on these explorations ashore or you are welcome to make individual excursions as there are no issues of safety or security in any of the ports we visit.

  • All scheduled excursions are accompanied by members of the crew with first aid kits, water and cold towels
  • Entrance fees for sights included in the itinerary
  • Comprehensive fact sheets or 'trip books' provided
  • Passengers can visit Pandaw Charity projects along the way and interact with the local communities who welcome us
  • There is an opportunity to travel to local markets with the Pandaw Head Chef at least once during the cruise programme
  • We provide crew assists for those who require them in areas where river banks are steep and slippery
  • While individual excursions are encouraged, passengers are asked to rejoin the ship at the appointed time to avoid delays in our schedule

Cycling

Imagine making your own discoveries by bike though the pagodas and temples of Pagan or exploring the scenic Burmese countryside and friendly villages at your own pace.

Pandaw offers high quality Giant brand mountain bikes on all Pandaw ships, for departures from December 2015. At each river stop, the Pandaw crew will advise travellers on the best routes to follow for independent exploration and if required, a member of the crew will accompany travellers on their cycle adventures.

Family-Friendly Cruises

Contrary to some perceptions, Pandaw river expeditions are not just for the more mature. They offer brilliant educational experiences for younger people. Given that all our sailing areas are very safe and secure and the local people are friendly, these sailings provide a great way for your kids to interact with locals and learn about different cultures.

We carry fishing rods and badminton nets, and often when we tether for the night on a sand bank, the crew will set up the badminton net or arrange a game of football with the locals all joining in. We carry also board games like chess, Monopoly and Scrabble to while away those long afternoons cruising. Kids also enjoy the cookery demonstrations and other onboard activities. Certain school holiday departures are designated as especially 'family friendly'.

It’s time to start planning your next adventure. So, will it be a weekend away to one of Europe’s most enchanting spots? Maybe a culture hop through the endless beauty of the Med? Or how about exploring some of the world’s most iconic cities, such as Sydney, Tokyo and Dubai? With summer sailings to the heart of the spectacular Norwegian Fjords and winter breaks offering warm sun and cool cocktails on pretty Canary Islands or paradise Caribbean shores, P&O Cruises offer holidays as varied as you. They’re constantly updating health protocols too, so you can look forward to the holiday you’ve been dreaming of – safe in the knowledge that your well-being is the top priority.

With over 180 years of history, P&O Cruises know their stuff. They offer everything you need to create your next unforgettable holiday including insider tips on every destination, authentic experiences, moreish dining, comfy accommodation, full days in almost every port plus plenty of evenings and overnight calls to give you even more time to soak up each exciting place you visit. Forget the hassle of getting from A to B – this is your time to relax as you travel, delve deeper and tailor your holiday just the way you like it.

Whichever ship you choose, little touches such as tea and coffee making facilities in your cabin, British plug sockets, prices in sterling and no tips needed make travelling with P&O Cruises effortless. There are no luggage limits on roundtrip sailings from Southampton and, if you’re keen to maximise your time in the sun, it’s just a 3-hour flight to Malta, 4 hours to Tenerife or 8.5 to the Caribbean. Your ship will be ready and waiting and you can start your holiday with a refreshing cocktail under a balmy sky.

A holiday with P&O Cruises offers remarkable value and quality. From iconic destinations to exceptional dining and accommodation, dedicated personal service to show-stopping entertainment – it’s all included in the price of your holiday.

Accommodation

Conservatory Mini-suite

The concept, which comes with Mini-suite benefits, brings the outdoors in with a personal and versatile conservatory-style room that forms an extension to the cabin. It offers great flexibility and creates a distinctive relaxation and socialising space; including stylish L-shaped seating, the conservatory-style room can be closed off or left open according to the time of day or mood. In the morning, you could keep it closed to enjoy a quiet coffee overlooking the ocean while everyone else is still asleep. By day or evening, the room can be opened out fully onto the balcony. With a direct connection to the sea, the space is cool and shaded – and perfect for chilling out in. In the evenings, it could also transform into a spacious environment for private celebrations and socialising over pre-dinner drinks with friends and family. All the while offering glorious seascape views.

Families

If you’re travelling with children, you can make lifelong memories on board P&O Cruises family-friendly ships and ashore. With different activities in store for each cruise, you could have a splash in the pool, catch a matinee show in the theatre, see what’s happening at The Reef children’s club or start some friendly competition on the sports court. And if you’re in the mood for enchanting local culture, foodie treats and action-packed adventures, P&O Cruises can help you find exciting family shore experiences in each destination. Whatever makes your perfect family day, simply relax and let P&O Cruises take care of everything.
