Luxury small ship river cruises in Asia

Discover the secrets of

INDIA

In 2019 Pandaw will launch three new routes on our own Pandaw ships in Northern India covering nearly all the main waterways: the Lower Ganges river or Hooghly, the Upper Ganges river going as far as Varanasi and the Brahmaputra. It will be possible also to book a 'combo cruise' to cover both the Lower Ganges river and Brahmaputra river. Pandaw's luxury motor yacht will call in the Andaman Islands in early 2020 and again this coastal expedition can be combined with an India river expedition.
