The Road To Mandalay

Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) is a jewel that has remained hidden for decades, but which is now opening up to the world revealing astonishing natural beauty and an unparalleled cultural heritage.

Boasting a civilisation that’s more than 2,500 years old, Burma is a mysterious and magical land with magnificent temple architecture set in timeless and sublime landscapes. Everywhere a visitor travels in Myanmar, they will encounter hospitable, inquisitive and friendly people more than willing to share their fascinating culture.

The Road To Mandalay is the ultimate ship of dreams, the most luxurious craft of its kind on the Ayeyarwady River. After an absence of more than 12 months, during which time she has been completely remodelled and refurbished, The Road To Mandalay with a capacity of 82 passengers, recommenced luxury river cruises in Burma on August 26, 2009.

This river cruise ship in Myanmar sails along the legendary Ayeyarwady river, between the world-heritage site of Bagan and the fascinating city of Mandalay, on a program of seven-, four-, and three-night cruises. Cruise itineraries may be extended with the additional nights in historic Yangon, including an orientation tour of the city or with a stay at Sandoway Beach Resort or the beautiful Inlé Lake.
