Despite being one of the region’s older boats, the Road to Mandalay’s Rhine cruiser design allows for spectacular panoramic views. These can be enjoyed from the comfort of your cabin or from the ship’s observation deck, where comfortable loungers allow you to sit back and observe life on the river.

The guided excursions offered are designed to give a clear glimpse into everyday life, ancient traditions and the atmosphere surrounding some of the country’s most beautiful temples at Bagan. This is where the Road to Mandalay allows you to fully immerse yourself in Burmese culture without compromising on the experience by cramming too much in. After a busy day of exploring, tuck in to a delicious dinner and enjoy a cocktail as you witness the dramatic sunset.
