A week of purer bliss
I hope I've wet the appetite of my friends to take one of your cruises
If I had to describe our experience on the recent Brahmaputra cruise in one word, the world would be "brilliant"!
The journey on the smaller longtail boat was just as exciting and spectacular
I thoroughly recommend Pandaw to experience India away from the main tourist spots
It was an experience we won’t forget
I want to thank Pandaw and every Pandaw Staff Member on board for a memorable and fabulous cruise
Such wonderful memories of our adventures in Burma that will forever be ingrained in our minds
Yet another amazing experience under our belts
This was an outstanding trip and we enjoyed the longtail boat segment as well; all part of the adventure spirit of Pandaw!
We enjoyed our time on and off the boat. Cabin was clean and spacious. Indian food was delicious
Overall, we are glad we made this trip, even though enough went wrong for us to wonder at times. But those problems were not, on the whole, of Pandaw’s making
This is what we have come to expect from Pandaw after cruises on the Mekong and Irrawaddy
I was very impressed with the boat, and the services and particularly the Crew
Just to let you know the trip was great
Pandaw ships, when you step aboard your "Adventure" begins
We appreciate that this was a new expedition so we anticipated a few problems
Overall though it was agreat experience. We have new friends and a lot of memories
It was the trip of a lifetime and we will carry Burma with us forever
How amazing the boat was, the staff were exceptional!
To say we were looked after royally would be an understatement
We were so impressed, that when we are in a position to investigate another holiday, we will definitely have Pandaw on our list
We have never been on a river cruise before and this has definitely whetted our appetite for a similar experience
The cruise was an excellent and easy way to see lots of interesting things and places and we would thoroughly recommend it
We have just spent a wonderful week on the Orient Pandaw from Bagan to Mandalay
I had very high expectations of the whole trip, but did not expect all the additional touches from crew and front of house teams
The Pandaw trip was beyond expectations
We wish to tell you that our experience on your Golden Lands cruise was absolutely SUPERB
The Pandaw cruise on the Irrawaddy was an eye-opener
This was a wonderful cruise, and we are already looking at the new cruises in India with Pandaw
The people of Myanmar are welcoming, friendly and honest and it is a very safe place for tourists to travel
I truly hope that I will be able to enjoy another cruise with Pandaw. It was one of the most wonderful experiences in all of my travels.
I want to commend an incredible you as well as your incredible crew
The cruise exceeded our expectations in so many ways
The cruise, WOW
We went on your 7 day Pandaw cruise down the Mekong River, which was a wonderful experience and the highlight of our 24 day holiday
The experiences we were able to enjoy due to the size of the ship and the knowledge of the local guides were unbelievable, we didn't see any other tourists apart from in Phnom Penh
Fabulous trip. Well beyond my expectations
I really enjoyed all the hotels and tours you booked before and after the cruise as well as the cruise itself
Service and food were first class. To experience something like that is already a dream!
Through his insight I believe we saw the true side of a beautiful country and met so many wonderful people
The Pandaw was fabulous, and the journey was exceptional
There is nothing to say other than positives about the staff, the food, the ship and the experience generally
I thought you might like to see a couple of videos showing our experiences
Wonderful 7 day cruise, would definitely recommend this cruise
This was my second trip with Pandaw and even exceeded my expectations from the first cruise
Hats off to you for your extraordinary Pandaw! Ever since our first Pandaw trip in 2001 we’ve wanted to return
I will highly recommend Pandaw to my friends, and plan on taking another river cruise with Pandaw
You would have to be very picky to find a fault as they have mastered the concept of managing their customers' experience, rather than just taking them on a cruise
Loved the cruise.The staff were great - so caring and helpful
We spent an amazing week on the Mekong Pandaw. The crew were all amazing, well trained, polite, helpful, efficient
The cruise had just the right amount of excursions with enough time to meet fellow travellers and relax. It exceeded our expectations
My wife and I went on the Mekong cruise, it was indeed a very good experience
Having never visited Asia before, both my sister and I were thoroughly spoilt and overwhelmed by everyone's kindness and the Pandaw experience
We will definitely return to Myanmar and another Pandaw adventure
All I can do is rave! This was possibly the best holiday we’ve ever had as a family
By far the most enjoyable and educational of my prior three trips with Pandaw, yet they had been excellent too
This was the most amazing immersion in Vietnamese history, culture, cuisine and lifestyle
Thanks to all at Pandaw for creating such wonderful adventures!
Our trip on the Mekong delta was the first time we had been on a Pandaw cruise but certainly won’t be the last!
The 7 day Mekong cruise on the Pandaw was the highlight of our 3 week trip
Pandaw truly understands how to ensure their guests travel in comfort and experience all the fascinating sights
Sailing with Pandaw was everything we hoped it would be, and more
I can thoroughly recommend a trip on the Irrawaddy with Pandaw and would consider this company first if I take another river cruise
We really loved everything about this cruise and will continue to travel with Pandaw in the future
We just departed the Laos Pandaw yesterday here in Vientiane and want you to know that the trip was fantastic
We have used ships of many companies in many places and never have we been so well looked after
We will take another river cruise on Pandaw!
Everything about this trip was so good that it is difficult to know where to begin
You have exceeded our expectations and we will now be regular guests of Pandaw
The whole trip was first class, the meals were wonderful the crew went above and beyond at all times
New Year was celebrated in great style with special food and later all the crew joined with us
There is absolutely nothing that I can imagine to improve upon our experience. The delights of exploring the quiet country of Laos, the superb boat, the wonderful crew
The facilities on the RV Laos Pandaw are first class. From morning coffee to the cocktail hour and dinner the service was impossible to fault
What particularly impressed us was the ability to get off the normal well-worn tourist track and meet local people who were simply getting on with their lives
You do a very good job with the beautiful crew
Pandaw has again impressed us, fully meeting and often exceeding our expecations
We can’t speak too highly of the entire experience
This was one of my most awsome trips I ever made
This trip was so very special in so many ways
Thank you Pandaw for a wonderful trip
A wonderful experience I will recommend to all our friends!
What a wonderful wonderful pampered experience
Please allow us to congratulate your crew and vessel for a wonderful experience
The crew on Pandaw II were easily the best we have encountered on any cruise
This was my 5th river cruise with Pandaw and I wasn't disappointed
The Red River - Up Close and Personal
The whole cruise was excellent and beyond my expectations
Thank you for having organised such a wonderful 10 days for our voyage
Your personal excel in service and food standards equaling any of the experiences we have had on other Pandaw trips
I absolutely loved my holiday on your beautiful colonial boat
Thank you so much for a memorable holiday
This is our 5th Pandaw cruise and we have enjoyed every one of them
Thanks for another great cruise/holiday with the Pandaw Family
I have cruised with Pandaw many times but the food served on this cruise was exceptional
We cannot imagine how our experience could be improved
What a fantastic cruise!
If you do just one Asian river cruise, make it Pandaw on the Irrawaddy
A big ‘thank you’ to you and your crew for giving us a fantastic trip
Without a doubt, the highlight of my recent trip to Myanmar
I was told that Pandaw cruises can be habit forming and I can understand why, I know I will be back
Most of all the Pandaw ambience is so unique
All my expectations of this cruise were filled to the highest degree
We had an incredible time cruising to Nagaland
The experience was beyond all our expectations and dreams
Such an enjoyable experience for us with the usual friendly, professional, conscientious thoughtful attention to the needs of guests
We particularly liked that Pandaw shares the tourism wealth with these small communities
The cruise was above our expectations and we wished that we were on a longer cruise
The trip was fantastic - I loved it. What a nice way to travel
Our Captain and crew did a fantastic job in some trying conditions, Halong Bay was stunning to see
Just wanted to let you know that once again I had an excellent cruise with Pandaw
Well, what a trip - the Angkor Pandaw ship is a treat to travel on
It felt like we were among friends rather than staff just doing their job
The crew of RV Angkor Pandaw, are amazing and are to be congratulated
I challenge parents to take their adult children on a Pandaw journey - a real educational treat!
The excursions, the surprise treats, the variety of experience, and the comforts aboard were all ideal for us
With Pandaw you not only get what you pay for but you get memories like never before
The service we received was far and above what we expected
Put simply, our Pandaw cruise was excellent, 5 out of 5
Thank you Pandaw for showing us such fascinating parts of the world
Wendy Evans, dedicated Pandaw fan and traveler
After experiencing a river cruise down the Mekong we are hooked!
I would like to say that Pandaw has raised the bar for future cruises my husband and I may take
Having travelled with Pandaw it has really spoilt me for anything else
It was so enjoyable and I can't praise everyone involved enough
Wow! What a country! But more importantly wow what an experience with Pandaw
A magical upstream expedition video
What a wonderful experience! From start to finish this was a first-class trip in every way
Our third Pandaw expedition met the high expectations that had been set by our two previous journeys
I can only say that it was a fantastic, informative, memorable and enjoyable adventure
Any suggestions for improvement? Not really. Why go with Pandaw twice? Why not go three times?
We have and will continue to pass on our recommendations for Pandaw
I can without doubt recommend this cruise to anyone contemplating it and we will do another in the near future
Myanmar left footprints on our hearts. We'll be back
What is there to say, except that it was probably our best trip for many years!
We could not think of travelling with any other company if we want to continue to explore Asian and other river systems
It is my second experience of travelling with the Pandaw and both trips have been excellent
It was like a dream - great trip I had!
The itinerary organised for me by Pandaw met my brief and excelled in so many ways
I know, this sounds exaggerated, but I tell you I'm still absolutely thrilled!
The ship and the crew were excellent. We enjoy all very much.
The ship was first class and all your crew were a credit to you
The food was delicious, the boat beautifully looked after and we were sad to say goodbye
The trouble with our cruise on the Pandaw Orient was that it had to finish
Altogether a wonderful and relaxing holiday
The boat is of the highest standard, and the crew were there to make sure we had everything we needed
I am now a Pandaw convert and hope to go on more trips when we can travel with you all again
It’s the third Pandaw river cruise we have been on and it was fabulous in every way
Thanks to all the crew for making our cruise truly memorable. It has now left us with a problem. Which Pandaw cruise shall we go on next?
Their attentiveness to our needs made the trip wonderful in so many ways
The most magical days I have ever experienced
That was our third Pandaw, but I doubt we will ever be able to top it
I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the cruise, the food, the cocktails and the company of our fellow travellers and the staff
As you can see I loved every minute and wish more people knew about it
The service and friendliness of the staff was sensational
Due to their amazing service and attitude we are only looking at doing Pandaw cruises in the future
Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations were just superb - from the cocktail party on the sandbank to the fireworks at midnight
This is a relaxing, easy, cruise
The staff could not have been nicer, and both our Purser and Tour Guide kept us well informed and squared away
This was a fabulous cruise, a real highlight and totally different to the lower Mekong
The journey itself was magical, experiencing the local villages and being amongst the locals was very special
Food quality and variety issued forth from a small galley was deliciously impressive, and the entire staff, eager to please
After 45 years of international travel, this was by far our best trip
I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a bit more of Myanmar than the classic tourist route
The cruise itself and the timing in November were perfect
It was an unforgettable journey and I can’t recommend it enough
Well done Pandaw - we would highly recommend this voyage to any traveller as the best river cruise
This was the third trip, having previously enjoyed seeing Cambodia/Vietnam and Burma with Pandaw
We had the most amazing time and have returned with lovely memories that we will cherish forever
I will be singing Pandaw's praises and encouraging people to visit Myanmar and all its wonderful sites
Four cruises down and a few more to go. Everyone a great trip.
The Pandaw Mekong cruise provides a fantastic moving picture of village life along the river
A holiday of a lifetime, due in no small part to the amazing people that looked after us
The excursions were well paced and interesting, with guides who were knowledgeable and informative
The best I have had on any holiday - ever!
We felt a greater sense of understanding and empathy for Myanmar as we departed the boat
The cruise on the Pandaw was great. The staff are so attentive and nothing was too much bother.
Phoo clearly understood our requests and needs and offered experiences based on our interests
The whole thing showed Pandaw at its best
Pandaw never fails to impress
For sure we will be looking at undertaking further cruises with Pandaw in the future
Always something to see and do, and so relaxing!
Your crew, as usual were of a high standard
The crew were quite the best. They looked after us to perfection.
A remarkable experience, so satisfying, educational and wonderful

High level excellence all the way around
