Luxury River Cruises

Luxury Pandaw cruising is different from other forms of cruising. The atmosphere on board is informal and relaxed. A Pandaw river cruise is a deeply tranquil vacation experience. Unlike other cruises there are no (nonessential) Tannoy announcements and other irritations normally associated with a cruise ship. Pandaw passengers like to be smart casual at night, but do not dress up. There is no captain's table at dinner or any of the other rituals associated with sea cruising.

We began ten years ago as essentially an adventure experience, and whilst accommodation and service now is of a top standard, we refuse to compromise our tradition of respecting our passengers independence and individuality.

There is a very high level of care on board a Pandaw with impeccable service. We have a ratio of one staff member for every two guests. We do not offer special treatment to the many celebrities, like Hollywood film directors, famous entrepreneurs, royal princes, noblemen, etc., who frequently travel on our ships. Everyone who buys a Pandaw ticket is a VIP and receives the same level of service and care on the river.

Pandaw river cruises are essentially an outdoor experience. Whilst the staterooms are very comfortable and roomy, passengers prefer to spend their time sitting outside, on the promenade decks or on the vast observation deck above. Unlike other cruise ships, every window (except port holes on lower deck) can open.

Exploratory shore excursions are led by local guides. When sailing our passengers sit on deck and become absorbed by great panoramas as they unfold about them. Spellbound, one cannot help but to meditate upon the unceasing human and wildlife activity of these teaming waterworlds.
